We Couldn't Become Adults presents a deeply emotional journey through loss and unresolved pasts, told with a compelling reverse narrative that ties beautifully into its ending. Strong performances, especially by Mirai Moriyama, elevate the storytelling, capturing the character’s growth across timelines. With thoughtful cinematography and a resonant soundtrack, the film leaves a lasting impression on drama lovers.
