There is a degree of realism when a professional in the field writes about his vocation and such is the case here. Adopted from a novel written by a doctor and set in Nagano, doctor Kuriharai is overwhelmed by the number and variety of patients he has to see due to a shortage of physicians where he practices. He aspires to work somewhere more convenient, specialize and see more of his wife, but faces a dilemma many other doctors experience.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
