I was floored by Distance, and I'd love to hear from anybody else who has seen it re: the ending, and the events surrounding Atsushi. There's a lot to unpack there, and I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it (or even how to interpret it, really). Regardless, I wish Koreeda was still making movies like this. After Life and Distance is an incredible one-two punch.
Giving up in 2020. Who cares.
