Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
An ethereal modern fable without a moral, Tony Takatani seeps into the soul and lingers. For filmgoers in search of a quietly absorbing escape, it might be the perfect holiday-movie antidote.

Though it falters as a narrative, Tony Takitani sticks in the mind with its poetic contemplativeness.

fresh:
Like a cultivated orchid, the delicate product of careful attention and an appreciation for fleeting beauty.

fresh:
It's a marvelously moody meditation, beautiful to look at and beautiful to ponder as the camera slowly pans from one scene to the next, framing life as still life.

fresh:
It's a film for specialized tastes, quiet, delicate. But it suits those tastes beautifully.
