Synopsis

After reluctantly being dragged to a festival at her parents' rural hometown, Oriko "Okko" Seki must face her sudden harsh reality: the death of both of her parents in a car accident shortly after they arrive. Now, Okko must live at her grandmother's traditional hot springs inn, which she is surprised to find is occupied by the ghost of a barefoot child. He encourages Okko to follow in her grandmother's footsteps and prepare to inherit the inn.

Initially, Okko struggles to keep up with the responsibilities of the inn and the accommodation of guests. However, her parents told her that an inn is welcoming for everyone, and she strives to honor their memory. After discovering a few other spirits around the village, Okko learns that even though her parents are gone, she does not have to be lonely.

This film is a hidden gem.

Before seeing it, I wasn't all that interested in the film. I entered a giveaway for free tickets on social media just for the sake of it, so when I actually won, I decided to take my little sister with me to at least let her have a fun experience watching a kid's movie with me.

I was wrong.

Mixed Feelings
Okko's Inn is a film that celebrates what it means to be a consummate host: one who derives their life's meaning from placing the enjoyment and fulfillment of their ryokan guest above everything.

But--and I do recognize that I am bringing my Western perspective to this--I found the film's cultural insistence on Okko's forgiveness ...

On paper, the story for Okko's Inn has potential: a young girl who just lost her parents goes to stay/work in her grandmother's inn while talking to ghosts.  It sounds cute and slightly dramatic.  In execution, it doesn't quite seem to know what to do with itself.  It mostly tries to be a slice of life story about Okko trying to be a junior innkeeper, but it also awkwardly tacks on pieces here and there about how she is dealing (or not dealing) with the grief stemming from her parents' deaths.  Instead of cute or moving, it mostly comes off as annoying.

The weakest part of ...
