A review by Alunauwie

Written by Alunauwie on 2026-02-28

Norwegian Wood tenderly portrays grief and emotional survival after loss, following Toru as he navigates trauma, memory, and complicated bonds with Naoko and Midori. Through restrained performances and symbolic storytelling, the film captures intimacy and sorrow with quiet depth, even if its pacing occasionally feels fragmented. Ultimately, it offers a reflective and melancholic experience about choosing to live in the aftermath of heartbreak.
