Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Fresh
A sense of immediacy, or working through recent and almost unfathomable trauma, is palpable in the film, much of which was shot in Hiroshima itself.
A.O. Scott, New York Times

Its cup may runneth over, yet the stark vibe is impossible to shake.
