It has a very good story, but, I found the film somehow failed to be convincing. I don't mind the scenes going back and forward, but I felt the film wasn't deep enough, especially towards the end.
The story obviously carries a very heavy subject on survivors of nuclear bomb. I just didn't get that emotional enormity I was expecting.
By the way, there's a very good book "Hiroshima Maidens" by Rodney Barker.
I believe it was the film maker's intention to leave the story up to viewer's' imagination rather than showing everything like most of Hollywood films do so awfully.
I'm looking forward to reading the book the film based on.
