Leave your thoughts about Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter.
| Willamette WeekMichael NordineKumiko is gorgeously shot and scored, with a dreamlike ambience and slow-burning narrative that vacillates between beautiful and unsettling. |
| Film RacketMike McGranaghanBeautifully acted, smartly written, skillfully directed, and gorgeously photographed |
| Associated PressLindsey BahrA haunting, fantasy adventure for the ages in one of this century's most breathtaking independent films. |
| Epoch TimesJoe BendelUnfortunately, Treasure opened too early in the year for short attention span Academy members, because Rinko Kikuchi seriously merits consideration for her second Oscar nom. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonThe movie is lovely to look at. Its compositions make clever use of color and space, and Kumiko, in a crimson shawl on the snowy plains, is a striking figure. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Josh TerryAt 105 minutes, that deliberate pace ultimately undermines Kumiko's impact, and an ambiguous ending may leave a lot of audiences wondering what message they were supposed to take from the experience. |
| QuickflixSimon MiraudoKumiko the Treasure Hunter is a real find... an oddly funny and often heartbreaking portrait of mental illness as well as exploration of both the freeing power and danger of cinephilia. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfDespite its stasis, the feature is an original vision, best suited for those with high tolerance for art-house adventuring and an appreciation for the mischief the Coen Brothers conjured in their seminal 1996 hit, "Fargo." |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin Covert"Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter" is a supple combination of Little Red Riding Hood adventure, ironic road film and cross-cultural confusion. |
| MLive.comJohn SerbaI'm thankful real life is not governed by Coen Bros.' omniscience. |
