This Friday, brace for the emotional gut-punch of “Sheep in the Box,” a hauntingly beautiful film from Hirokazu Kore-eda about grief, love, and the lengths parents will go to feel close to their lost child—by building a robot that looks exactly like him. Drawing from his signature style of tender, human-centered storytelling, Kore-eda blends heartbreak with humor, and his compassionate, no-tolerance approach to set culture—especially for young actors—makes this film not just moving, but deeply humane. With a breakout performance from child star Rimu Kuwaki and a title echoing “The Little Prince,” this is a film that reminds us that the most precious things in life are often invisible—until we look closely.
