The camera moves were well coordinated but the young lady was a real highlight in this engaging little black and white.

共感を感じました。何ことも忙しいと言って考えすぎた自分がいたが、もう少し余裕をもちたいと思いました。

タクシー客のそれぞれに人生があり、ドライバーにも彼の人生がある。それらは直接関わり合うことは無いけれど、彼らは一時の空間を共有する。なかなか奥深いドラマだと思います。タイトルもいいですね。

Simple but lacking originality.. Bad acting although the girl was refreshing...
