Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
It ennobles the cinema. It says, yes, a movie can help us make small steps against our imperfections.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
15 Jan 2004
fresh:
Ozu doesn't sentimentalize or condemn; he merely observes human nature with calm and clarity.
– Colin Covert,
Minneapolis Star Tribune,
30 Dec 2004
fresh:
The way Ozu builds up emotional empathy for a sense of disappointment in its various characters is where his mastery lies.
– Geoff Andrew,
Time Out,
9 Feb 2006
fresh:
This remains one of the most approachable and moving of all cinema's masterpieces.
– Wally Hammond,
Time Out,
5 Jan 2010
fresh:
Ozu's long shots, knee-high camera placement, and collapsed perspective -- as gorgeous and unsettling as a Cezanne -- gather power over the duration, but time itself is the master's most potent weapon.
– Eric Hynes,
Village Voice,
