Top critics, in their words
If Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter takes its time, it's time worth taking.
In the title role, Kikuchi is impressive, easily handling Kumiko's comic and more somber sides and never allowing us to settle into a single or simple interpretation of the character.
If you're in the mood for something different, you're in luck: "Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter" takes elements of the traditional quest story into completely new places.
A haunting, fantasy adventure for the ages in one of this century's most breathtaking independent films.
