Dolls takes puppeteering as its overriding motif, which relates thematically to the action provided by the live characters. Chief among those tales is the story of Matsumoto and Sawako, a young couple whose relationship is about to be broken apart by the former's parents, who have insisted their son take part in an arranged marriage to his boss' daughter.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Devoted fans of Kitano will want to see Dolls. Others may be put off by the dirgelike pace (Kitano takes full credit for the editing) and a ghastly, mood-destroying pop-music number performed by Fukada.
– John Hartl,
Seattle Times,
21 Jan 2005
fresh:
A work both rigorously stylized and deeply personal.
– Michael Wilmington,
Chicago Tribune,

fresh:
Dolls isn't a film for everybody, especially the impatient, but Kitano does succeed, I think, in drawing us into his tempo and his world, and slowing us down into the sadness of his characters.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
4 Feb 2005
fresh:
It's all as passionate, refined, and insistently sad as Bunraku puppetry itself.
– Ty Burr,
Boston Globe,
11 Feb 2005
fresh:
The cinematography is colorful and sweeping, the editing and storytelling simple and pure.
