Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Obsessive, we were saying? Oh my, yes, and that's what makes the film so compelling.
– Bill Goodykoontz,

fresh:
Gelb apparently understood that his subject was itself so taking that he wouldn't need filmic embellishments to keep his viewers alert.

fresh:
By the time this graceful film is over you understand why Japan has declared the bald, bespectacled Jiro a national treasure. Even if you've never tasted sushi, the man's singleness of purpose will inspire you.
– Colin Covert,
Minneapolis Star Tribune,

fresh:
It's torture to watch Jiro Dreams of Sushi -- if you are on an empty stomach.
– Maggie Lee,
Hollywood Reporter,

The exquisite nigiri slices gleam with freshness, and you do learn about the component parts to the perfect serving of sea eel or gizzard shad.
