A Balance Ratings & Reviews
TheArtsStl
Sarah Boslaugh
A Balance has the look of an understated television documentary of the kind Yuko is trying to create.
New York Times
Austin Considine
[A] knotty and suspenseful morality tale...
Easy Reader (California)
Neely Swanson
This is a fine, worthwhile film led by an extraordinary leading lady, Kawai, and is highly recommended.
Always Good Movies
Filipe Freitas
A Balance seems more like a product of an appalling naivety.
Critic's Notebook
Martin Tsai
It's difficult to empathize with anyone in the film because we don't really get a sense of where they're coming from or what makes them tick, except that they are making poor choices out of necessity and without remorse.
AIPT
Nathaniel Muir
The movie may take on too much, but it is still a powerful look at the press, how it can affect public perception, and the culture of shaming in Japan.
Asian Movie Pulse
Panos Kotzathanasis
"A Balance" is a tremendous film, one that truly reinvigorates the largely preterit family drama genre, and one that touches the borders of the masterpiece, which it would have surpassed if the ending was a bit different.
