‘My Sunshine’ Review: Poetry and Understated Charm Propel a Slender Japanese Figure Skating Drama

Premiering in Cannes' Un Certain Regard section, Hiroshi Okuyama's latest follows a boy who starts training with a rising skating star and her coach.

In Hiroshi Okuyama’s My Sunshine, three souls find solace and poignant moments of self-discovery in figure skating. The film chronicles a season of the sport in a small town on a Japanese island, the kind of place whose melting snow and changing leaves inspire poetic musings. Guided by the beauty of the landscape and the nostalgia of childhood, Okuyama constructs a quiet narrative buoyed by an understated charm.

I was surprised at how well Garfield did this weekend outside the U.S. vs here. Is Garfield THAT popular of a comic strip internationally?

Yes. And don't forget that there have been previous TV and movie incarnations of Garfield that were quite popular as well. Garfield is iconic for many (including me). Nerd alert: I used to save copies of the Garfield comic strip from the newspaper in a scrapbook. I absolutely adored that cat as a teenager/college student, and my affection for him lingers. I'm probably going to see this one when I get a chance.
