The tale is told in contemplative wide-angle shots; the absence of any spurious, unearned intimacy with the characters makes the climactic scenes profoundly moving.

The film, which was made with only natural light, draws the viewer into its spiritual mood with one breathtaking shot after another, as the camera draws back to contemplate Yumiko from afar.
Stephen Holden, New York Times

Nothing is casual and nothing is wasted in Maborosi.
Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle

Maborosi is a worthwhile movie experience not because it ventures into virgin territory, but because its presentation is so precise and unique.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews

Maborosi is one of those valuable films where you have to actively place yourself in the character's mind. There are times when we do not know what she is thinking, but we are inspired with an active sympathy.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
