Movie Reviews

Dog and Wolf - 10/10 by Alexa DalbyIt's a disturbing, dark, heartbreaking drama with merciless twists that give no easy answers to complex questions of forgiveness and redemption, and how relationships may be based on truth or lies.
Japan Times - 9/10 by Mark SchillingUnlike the many family dramas here that color even their ostensible bad guys in shades of gray, Harmonium goes straight to the heart of evil, which is stronger than Fumie's uncertain version of Christian love.
Chicago Reader - 9/10 by Ben SachsTadanobu Asano, who plays the ex-con, has rarely been better, and Kanji Furutachi and Mariko Tsutsui are heartbreaking as the husband and wife.
Eye for Film - 8/10 by Jennie KermodeWith strong performances from Tsutsui and Asano, impressive work from young Shinokawa and a sweetly judged turn from Taiga as a young man who gets caught up in the unfolding drama through an accident of fate, this is a beautifully crafted film.
South China Morning Post - 8/10 by Edmund LeeFukada's film sidesteps easy catharsis to stage a serious, and quite emotionally intense, inquiry into the unknown shades of human nature.
The List - 8/10 by Hannah McGillShowing tremendous assurance, writer-director Kôji Fukada deploys an attention-grabbing narrative structure that involves a daring leap part-way through.
CineVue - 8/10 by Christopher MachellA deeply affecting narrative of guilt, consequence and failed redemption.
Daily Express (UK) - 8/10 by Allan HunterThe answers take their time to arrive but the result is an absorbing thriller.
Radio Times - 8/10 by David ParkinsonThe performances are chillingly restrained, as is Fukada's forensic direction - his use of natural light makes the sombre wood-panelled interiors feel all the more oppressive as the jarring cacophony of the harmonium echoes all around.
San Diego Reader - 8/10 by Scott MarksIs there anything more gratifying than a sweepingly downcast story told in a uniquely exhilarating manner?
