Demon Pond Ratings & Reviews
Cinapse
Julian Singleton
All of Demon Pond is charged with both childlike playfulness and earnest, mature melodrama-making for a film that feels as much of a romantic fantasy as it is a fantastical romance.
PopMatters
Michael Barrett
Demon Pond belongs to a later series of films indebted to traditional Japanese theatrical styles, presenting them without apology in terms of cinematic artifice.
Seattle Film Blog
Kathy Fennessy
Demon Pond, which is filled with water imagery, uses the substance to symbolize life and death. As long as we have it, we live, but if we lose it, we die, except the film's true subject is love.
Slant Magazine
Derek Smith
Demon Pond is defined by a pervasive tension between the ancient and the modern, specifically superstition versus scientific reason.
The Blu Spot
Jeff Beck
Demon Pond is a weird & fascinating experience, one that arguably runs a little long at two hours, but which remains captivating throughout thanks to its beauty, elegance, and intriguing stories.
Boston Globe
Bruce McCabe
Masahiro Shinoda's Demon Pond is, in the manner of the best films, a triumph of style. It is also a compelling lesson in the power of superstition and mythology.
