Movie Reviews

Village Voice - 8/10 by Ernest HardyFilmed over a period of six weeks and supplemented with animated music sequences and chilling news footage of the terrifying deluge, Pray is both an elegy and a love letter.
NPR - 5/10 by Mark JenkinsThe movie is less than incisive, but it's utterly well-meaning.
Variety - 5/10 by Justin ChangIt's hard not to be moved by the words of love, gratitude and resilience spoken by earthquake/tsunami survivors and volunteers in Pray for Japan. But well-meaning platitudes go only so far in this sincerely felt, raggedly structured compilation of footage.
The New York Times - 5/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisIf making a decent movie required only good intentions, then Pray for Japan would be off and running. As it is, though, this muddled collage of random impressions and personal histories, emerging from last year's destruction of the Tohoku coastline by the earthquake and tsunami, doesn't document a tragedy so much as repeat a mantra.
User Review - 10/10 by Leah IWhen I first saw the trailer for this documentary I was extremely excited to finally see something positive about the tragedy. It shows the hard work of residents and volunteers trying to rebuild their life and move on. The movie is split into four parts, Family, School, Shelter and Volunteers. Every story was heart wrenching. But it helped everyone know how Japan has been doing (though it was filmed in 2011) since the disaster since it really isn't in the media anymore. I recommend everyone to see this amazing documentary
User Review - 10/10 by Patricia OFINALLY, A TRIBUTE TO THE SELFLESS WORKERS OF THE WORLD AS SHOWN IN THIS FILM ABOUT THE GIGANTIC EARTHQUAKE, TSUNAMI & MELTDOWN IN JAPAN LAST MARCH, 2011
User Review - 10/10 by Ozzdeath SEveryone can learn from this - absolutely.
User Review - 8/10 by Dean YAn emotional, intimate look at the effects of the devastating earthquake in Japan last year.
User Review - 6/10 by James OBeyond the blockbuster shots of the waves pounding Tohoku, was a more enduring story of recovery. Here it is documented and shows the uniquely patient way of the Japanese to endure suffering and try to persevere. Very standard documentary and not much high end production but does a neat enough job.
User Review - 6/10 by Karla GReally appreciative the work put into making this documentary. gave a very personal view of a community working hard to put the pieces back together.
