“A blessedly inconsequential story of four girls with three days to put together an act for their school talent show. Yamashita’s languid pacing and stately wide shots conjure a dreamy, deadpan alchemy of lazy afterschool (in)activities and naps, the kind of wonderful, wasted time that only feels precious in retrospect, when there’s no more of it left to spare.” – Spliced Personality Substack, 09/29/2026
