Call Me Chihiro
Directed by Rikiya Imaizumi
Initial release (Japan) Feb. 23, 2023
I usually recommend to you only “A” films – those that I would score at the top of my personal grading scale. But on Oct. 13, realizing that there’s not much difference between a B+ on my scale and an A- on someone else’s, I presented three “B” Netflix offerings that you may like a little better than I did. Call Me Chihiro is another one like that.
The Plot: A former prostitute, Chihiro, is rebuilding her life in a small seaside town. She now works in a bento shop, where she imperceptibly changes the lives of her new customers.
My Rating: Because Kasumi Arimura, who plays the lead, is utterly irresistible, I give it a B+.
