I was attracted to this film, clearly for it's title, and perhaps I was in need for some inspiration. This 2013 Japanese film directed by Yoshihiro Nakamura was undoubtedly inspirational but also probably the most slow progressing film I've seen in all my years. Sure the run-time was the usual 128 minutes, however the story was based on a novel entitled 'Miracle Apples' which took place over the span of 10 years.
Despite the sluggish evolution, the story was strong in strength and determination and a good lesson in keeping hope alive. Actors Sadawo Abe and Miho Kanno both delivered exceptionally and the audience was able to identify strongly with characters thanks to the narration and heart-warming journey to success against all disparity.
