Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s ‘All of a Sudden’ Lauded in Variety Review

AI-synthesized · Bias removed · Facts only

A new film by Japanese director Ryusuke Hamaguchi, titled “All of a Sudden,” has received a glowing review from Variety. The review describes the picture as a drama in which two women, played by Virginie Efira and Tao Okamoto, talk for the best part of three-and-a-quarter-hours and form a life-changing friendship.

Variety calls the feature “gorgeous” and labels it the rarest type of film, one that is not merely good enough to remind you what cinema can be, but great enough to remind you what life can. The review characterizes Hamaguchi’s work as an unassumingly momentous miracle built around extended conversation.
