Leave your thoughts about Himizu.
| Japan TimesMark SchillingThe overheated emotions and overamped screeching would have soon become unbearable if Sono hadn't also carefully stylized everything from the acting to the art direction - a welcome (if thin) form of visual and mental insulation. |
| Hollywood ReporterDeborah YoungYoung leads Shota Sometani and Fumi Nikaidou – both experienced film actors – grow in stature as the film progresses to the achingly real final scene, where they are extraordinarily intense and effective. |
| Radio TimesTrevor JohnstonSono's film delivers a broadside against the self-interest and complacency of the older generation. |
| GuardianMike McCahillSono retains his go-for-the-throat approach, but the violence here somehow connects with the brutal economic conditions, and he fosters very tender, affecting performances from Shôta Sometani and Fumi Nikaidô as his crushed young lovers. |
| CineVuePatrick GambleSono has successfully fashioned through his endearingly distinguishable style a harrowing allegory of a damaged society which both screams out for a drastic political change whilst also presenting a vigorously absorbing revenge tragedy. |
| Time OutTom HuddlestonMuch of the film's impact stems from a pair of remarkable lead performances. |
| Total FilmJamie RussellIt offers a surreal slant on post-Fukushima Japan where aggression lurks in every scene - even the romantic ones between high-schooler Yuichi (Shôta Sometani) and his stalker classmate, Keiko (Fumi Nikaidô). |
| Empire MagazineDavid ParkinsonOver-the-top but blackly funny along the way. |
| Little White LiesAndrew SchenkerA near-masterpiece from one of the most significant directors working today, Himizu combines all the director's strengths while introducing a tentative humanism that proves remarkably affecting. |
| The ListEmma SimmondsIts young leads are terrific, the ruined city is a fitting backdrop for mental obliteration and the wall-to-wall parental negligence references the behaviour of the disinterested elite. |
