Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Yasujiro Ozu's 1949 film inaugurated his majestic late period: it's here that he decisively renounces melodrama (and, indeed, most surface action of any kind) and lets his camera settle into the still, long-take contemplation.
– Dave Kehr,
Chicago Reader,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
Ozu's characters don't seek ecstasy, not because they are afraid of it but because they are brave enough to accept compromise.
– Vincent Canby,
New York Times,
9 May 2005
fresh:
One of the best two or three films Ozu ever made.
