Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The fatal bargain of old age has rarely been observed as sharply as in Yasujiro Ozu's last film, from 1962.
– Richard Brody,

rotten:
This view of contemporary middle class life in Japan is too leisurely paced, too sentimental in design and its humorous social comments too infrequent.

fresh:
Only this film and Good Morning were made in colour, but Ozu applies it here with great care and precision, another mark of his sublime philosophical and cinematic continuity.
– Geoff Andrew,

fresh:
Stylistically it's one of Ozu's purest, most elemental works: no camera movement, very little movement within the frames, and hardly any apparent narrative progression.
– Dave Kehr,
Chicago Reader,

fresh:
Such a completely realized example of the Ozu art that it seems impossible he did not intend it to be a kind of testament.
