While Koreeda Hirokazu's Nobody Knows chronicled the impact of an irresponsible parent on children, his latest offering, Like Father, Like Son, delves into the inverse: two caring Japanese couples struggle with the emotional fallout from the discovery that their six-year-old sons were switched at birth. Koreeda demonstrates his characteristic light touch, this time with generous doses of levity, in a poignant study of class and personality differences between the two families. While the underlying social critique is clichéd, the film ranks as one of Koreeda's more accessible domestic dramas.
