Is the movie Good Morning available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime or Apple TV+?

At Stream Tracker, we take a quick look at Yasujiro Ozu’s 1959 gem Good Morning — a gentle, color-saturated comedy about two boys who stop speaking to protest their parents’ refusal to buy a television set. Set in a polite suburb of Tokyo where housewives gossip about the neighbors’ new washing machine and unemployed husbands try their luck as door-to-door salesmen, Ozu turns domestic routines and silent rebellion into a pointed satire of postwar consumerism. Good Morning may not have chased big festival trophies, but it’s long been celebrated by critics and cinephiles for its warmth, precision and comic eye. In this article, the Stream Tracker team checks whether you can stream it on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or AppleTV+ and explains how availability changes by region.

Good Morning

Synopsis

Director Yasujiro Ozu offers a warm, witty study of family life and generational friction in Good Morning, which follows two young brothers who stop speaking as a form of protest when their parents refuse to buy a television. Through the boys’ silent rebellion, Ozu assembles a series of understated comic moments within a richly observed household drama, using the children’s perspective to gently expose the petty pretensions and small hypocrisies of adult life. Shot in vivid color and set in a Tokyo suburb where neighbors trade gossip about the latest washing machine and unemployed men turn to door-to-door selling, the film playfully updates the spirit of his silent I Was Born, But... to critique the rise of consumer culture in postwar Japan.
