According to Japanese cartoonist Daisuke Igarashi's original work of the same name, the small forest is divided into two parts, one is winter, and the other is summer and autumn. The film adopts a plain narrative way, and the feature film recording lifestyle is lengthy. For many people who are used to watching exciting suspense films and American thrillers, this small and fresh literary film is boring, which is also the problem that many domestic literary films cannot survive. It tells the story of the heroine Shizi returning to a small mountain village after living in the city. The rhythm of "Little Forest" is a bit like "Midnight Food Store". There are no ups and downs and exaggerated stories in the plot. Many times, the details of the story are told and the atmosphere is created. There are also many people who claim that this film is a Japanese version of China on the Tip of the Tongue, because there are many pictures of delicious food in it, which makes people drool. But in fact, it is different from China's quick introduction on the tip of his tongue. It is patient with every picture, so that the audience can really feel the feeling of eating, and even indulge in it. Because the prince has been trying to find the secret of his mother's taste and made a childhood dish, he finally understands that it is not easy for his mother to raise himself alone. This is also a gradual growth, just like our life experience, but also in the process of continuous growth and maturity.
