A life-sized inflatable sex doll develops a soul, acquires a job at a video rental store, and begins to interact with a number of lonely Tokyoans, all the while remaining subservient to her middle-aged owner, in Koreeda’s for-the-most-part beautiful and moving existential exploration of urban alienation, which is let down somewhat (though far from irredeemably) by its vaguely sentimental and trite last few moments.
