Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertSooner or later, everyone who loves movies comes to Ozu. He is the quietest and gentlest of directors, the most humanistic, the most serene. But the emotions that flow through his films are strong and deep.
Time Out - 10/10 by Geoff AndrewThe sheer beauty of Ozu's exquisite (and typically eccentric) compositions and the expressive use of sound tell all you need know about the characters, their emotions and relationships.
Alternate Ending - 10/10 by Tim BraytonAn exemplar of a career and an aesthetic universe that's extraordinary even in much weaker films than this one.
LarsenOnFilm - 9/10 by Josh Larsen...there isn't a detail in Floating Weeds that isn't meant to be carefully seen.
Observer (UK) - 8/10 by Philip FrenchThis is a vibrant movie, one of his few in colour, and touches on universal themes through the story of a middle-aged actor and his young mistress coming with a second-rate kabuki company to a small coastal town.
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Dave KehrHis spare, slow-moving films are not for all tastes, but once the rhythms are accepted, Ozu's work offers a unique emotional experience.
BBC.com - 8/10 by Tom DawsonRichly atmospheric, with its expressive use of colour, lyrical cutaways, and masterly interior compositions -- predominantly shot from Ozu's trademark low-level camera position -- impressively illustrating the director's visual artistry.
Filmcritic.com - 8/10 by Don WillmottLike all of Ozu's work, it's incredibly human, and that can be a rarity in the artificial world of the cinema.
Cinemania - 8/10 by Dan JardineAs with much of Ozu's ouevre, verges on the melodramatic, but shows just enough restraint to prevent descent into such syrupy realms
Film4 - 7/10 by Ali CatterallA poignant tale of everyday folk; their lives, loves and losses, rendered with exquisite care, compassion and no small measure of humanity by one of the masters of Japanese cinema.
