Death by Hanging Ratings & Reviews
Washington City Paper
Pat Padua
One braces the emotions for what must inevitably be a laborious two-hour ordeal. Would you believe the movie is absolutely hilarious?
Psychocinematography
Pieter-Jan Van Haecke
Oshima's narrative is a true classic of political driven cinema that, perhaps contrary to one's expectations, remains as relevant today as it was in the past.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
Morbidly amusing, Death by Hanging features many of Oshima's signature flourishes, and is a fascinating mixture of social issue drama and surreal black comedy.
Asian Movie Pulse
Panos Kotzathanasis
"Death by Hanging" is a unique film, both for its context and presentation, but also as the embodiment of Oshima's ideas regarding both society and cinema. A true classic.

It hits the same note a little too often, but as long as you know that another subversion is just around the corner, you'll be as thrilled by the movie as I am.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It's brilliantly directed and co-written by Nagisa Oshima.
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
while it's ultimately quite clear what Oshima is getting at, the means by which he gets there become more irritating than enlightening.
