Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
A tenacious survival tale in which passionate lovers are held apart by outmoded traditions. How they overcome obstacles to happiness is what makes the film so dramatically engaging.
– Jeff Shannon,
Seattle Times,

fresh:
Yamada's enormously enjoyable The Hidden Blade is a movie that deftly balances the obligations of samurai history with love story.
– Wesley Morris,
Boston Globe,

fresh:
Reminders of feudal Japan are mixed in with a prescient glimpse into the country's future. The samurai will not be part of it, and The Hidden Blade poignantly shows what is lost in the name of progress.
– Ruthe Stein,
San Francisco Chronicle,

fresh:
An affecting portrait of the impact of profound change on people with limited options.
– Jeannette Catsoulis,

fresh:
The Hidden Blade bears more than a passing resemblance in story and form to The Twilight Samurai, but stands on its own as a pleasant, if unremarkable, romance.
