Top Critics Reviews

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

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.

fresh:
It's torture to watch Jiro Dreams of Sushi -- if you are on an empty stomach.

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.
