A quiet, heart-wrenching tale of first love rekindled under the weight of real life. Shun and Nagisa fell hard for each other in high school, but their idyllic romance shattered when Nagisa disappeared into a conventional marriage. Years later, a guilt-ridden Nagisa reappears on Shun's doorstep with his young daughter, Sora, in tow, seeking refuge after fleeing a broken home. As Shun cautiously opens his heart again, the two men must navigate the messy aftermath of divorce, the judgment of a conservative society, and a fierce custody battle that threatens to tear their fragile family apart. More than a romance, 'His' is a profound meditation on identity, forgiveness, and the courage it takes to live proudly. With stunning rural cinematography and breathtakingly understated performances, this film captures the quiet beauty of two people learning that love – and family – can take many forms.

I went in expecting a simple romance, but this film destroyed me in the best way. The chemistry between Shun and Nagisa is so palpable that even their silences make my heart ache. And Sora? That little girl is a miracle – she embodies pure love and acceptance. I cried, I smiled, and I felt so seen.

The first half is beautiful – a quiet, aching reunion. But the second half drowns in courtroom scenes that drag the pacing to a crawl. Nagisa is frankly infuriating with his selfish choices, and I couldn't root for the couple because of it. The acting saves it from a lower score, but the plot needed trimming.

Visually, this film is a masterpiece. The golden sunlight filtering through rural farmhouses, the soft focus on Shun's lonely expressions, the framing of the family meals – every shot is a painting. The director uses space and silence to tell more than any dialogue could. A treat for anyone who loves cinematic storytelling.

As a sociologist, I appreciated how this film doesn't sugarcoat the damage that compulsory heterosexuality and social shame inflict. Nagisa's deception hurts everyone, but the narrative never demonizes him – it understands the system that created his fear. The custody battle is a brilliant lens for examining homophobia. A necessary, thoughtful film.

I wanted to love it more, but the pacing really tested my patience. That said, the emotional payoff is huge if you stick with it. The final scene where Shun finally admits his truth had me in tears. Not a perfect film, but a deeply human one that stays with you long after the credits roll.
