In my opinion, this movie was a decent movie although the subtitles were slightly annoying. The movie is about a young naïve boy with not many friends that goes on a journey with an old man to find his mother. It wasn’t finding him mother that he enjoyed instead it was the journey he to get to the destination and back. Kikujiro is an average movie overall but I believe that the ending could have been slightly improved.
