Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Of all the films about prostitution, Kenji Mizoguchi's Street of Shame, made in 1956 at the end of his career, is perhaps the greatest.
– David Denby,
New Yorker,
4 Mar 2013
rotten:
The late Kenji Mizoguchi, who directed Ugetsu, failed to show as much imagination in this one as in that one.
– Bosley Crowther,
New York Times,
25 Mar 2006
fresh:
Well worth seeing, if only as a challenge.
– Dave Kehr,
Chicago Reader,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
The settings are a far removed from the medieval landscapes of Ugetsu or The Life of Oharu, but Mizoguchi's focus on the plight of his women characters is as intent and heart-rending as ever.
