Good japanese thriller about the afterlife, that happens about the time of Fukushima disaster. The rhythm of the story is slow.

It follows a woman that is a soul without accomplishing her objective at Earth (it can be in or out life).

Good characters, sensitive movie - maybe not fit for everyone. It have a Ghibli characteristics to it, without the cute characters.

But in the end it lacks something to enhance it more - maybe more emotion on the scenes to bring tears to the eyes. My score: 6,5 / 10,0 / B-.

The Parades portrays wandering spirits who gather not to haunt, but to help each other release lingering regrets, weaving Minako’s quiet panic and the gentle stories of other souls into a tender exploration of unfinished goodbyes. Instead of sharp conflicts, the film guides viewers through the inner turbulence of characters confronting old wounds, gradually revealing emotional ties that deepen its impact. With sincere performances, soft visuals, and a hauntingly warm after-credit sequence, the film becomes a bittersweet reminder to live fully so we leave nothing unresolved behind.
