I've been really looking forward to seeing this... everything i've read has been very positive. I hope it's shown at the Tara or something...

I saw it a week ago and liked it very much. It may not end up
in the canon of Great Film, but it's not clear that was really
the type of film she was trying to make.

It is lightly romantic, and it is funny, but I would not think
of it as a standard-issue romantic comedy.

You are right that the film is worth watching just for Tokyo,
but the acting is also very much worth seeing.
