Audience Reviews

Michael P, San Diego Full of dynamic silence, wonderful acting, beautifully scenic, and great direction, plus the music was fun. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/15/24 Full Review Georgie Perfect Days is a small, quiet movie with a big heart. Koji Yakusho plays Hirayama, a toilet cleaner assigned to maintain the many public restrooms at parks throughout Tokyo. Although he toils in solitude, the film speaks to those little moments and connections we have with others during the course of a day, if only for a moment — and makes the case that those interactions have value.While a lot of the film follows Hirayama on his appointed rounds —theres a lot of toilet scrubbing — Perfect Days thankfully pivots to explore the mans relationships with his young niece, estranged sister & unreliable co-worker Takashi.Theres also Mama-san, the hostess of a local izakaya who is sweet on Hirayama but the film eschews the obvious Hollywood happy ending. The point of the film is to find the beauty in the everyday, not to slap on a RomCon ending.Surprisingly, the film has a rocking Western pop soundtrack, which is a recurring plot point as Hirayama drives through Tokyo popping in cassettes in his cars tape deck of Lou Reed, Otis Redding, Patti Smith & the Velvet Underground etc. When he has his niece or young co-worker in the car, they enjoy the music but cant figure out how to work the cassette player.
