Leave your thoughts about Before We Vanish.
| Los Angeles TimesJustin ChangBeneath its cheeky, scattershot surface is a surprisingly earnest core, as well as a sincere inquiry into what exactly humanity stands to lose in the face of its looming extinction. |
| Eye for FilmJennie KermodeDoubtless some viewers will find this contemplative and mannered tale of impending doom rather bloodless. Others, however, will find it a delight, and whichever camp you're in, you're unlikely to see very much else like it. |
| Caimán Cuadernos de CineÀngel QuintanaKiyoshi Kurosawa manages the elements of the genre effectively and brilliantly. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Slant MagazineGreg CwikBefore We Vanish's beauty, its poignancy, comes from its relationship to Kiyoshi Kurosawa's other work. |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Charles MudedeBefore We Vanish is very funny, very bloody, and doesn't have a happy ending. |
| MUBIDaniel KasmanPart ghost story, goofy comedy, marital melodrama, rebel youth film, action movie and sci-fi - all immensely fun and impeccably made. |
| Q Network Film DeskJames Kendricka fascinating, at times funny, and at other times tragic merging of the paranoid sci-fi trope of not being able to trust that the people around us are who they say they are and the horror trope of not being in control of our own minds |
| Film School RejectsRob HunterAn immensely satisfying and highly entertaining journey touching on multiple genres in search of a simple truth. Plus a machine gun-wielding schoolgirl. |
| Dread CentralJonathan BarkanBefore We Vanish is a beautiful, wonderful tale that explores what it means to be human when faced with the threat of extinction. |
| Globe and MailKate TaylorAs an experiment in blending the minute character observations of Kurosawa's dramas into a pure genre plot, Before We Vanish does succeed. |
