A Samurai in Time Ratings & Reviews
Psychocinematography
Pieter-Jan Van Haecke
A Samurai In Time is a beautiful and genuinely endearing love-letter to the chanbara genre.
Slant Magazine
Ross McIndoe
A Samurai in Time isn't just having fun with fake swords and chonmage wigs, as it also provides a lot of gentle reflections about history, modernity, and our place in it all.

Yasuda knows that he has something special in his hands, not only as a love letter to the jidaigeki but also as a deeply heartfelt examination of what happens when time is taken away from you and how one begins to find oneself again.

A Samurai in Time is a witty, heartfelt time-travel comedy full of passion for samurai films and the intrepid filmmakers and stuntpeople who bring them to reality through blood, sweat, and imagination.

Walter Chaw
...the excellence of the first sword fight, choreographed by Kazuto Seike, reassured me that A Samurai In Time meant business, even if it's not a fight flick per se...
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
Two things elevate it. One is Yasuda's commitment to looking in depth at the culture of the Edo period... The other is seasoned jidaigeki actor Yamaguchi's wonderfully sensitive and sincere performance.
Elements of Madness
Douglas Davidson
... utilizes time dilation to bring the past to the present, creating an opportunity to explore the values of old and whether they can exist in modernity.
