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.
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle
Fresh
Like a cultivated orchid, the delicate product of careful attention and an appreciation for fleeting beauty.
Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times
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.
Teresa Wiltz, Washington Post

It's a film for specialized tastes, quiet, delicate. But it suits those tastes beautifully.
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
