A moving drama that explores issues of nature vs. nuture with a subtle, humanistic touch.
"The questions posed by Like Father, Like Son are universal
in nature and the manner in which Koreeda addresses them
makes for superior drama"
"
Sensitively written, smartly directed, and powerfully
performed, like father, like son uses familiar-seeming
elements to tell a thought-provoking story"
"
A thoroughly satisfying effort that always finds the truth of
the moment, ignoring the ease of melodrama"
"
It's well-acted and quietly powerful without settling for easy
solutions to its unique dilemma"
"
Gem of a Family Drama"
