Early Spring Ratings & Reviews
Washington City Paper
Pat Padua
The mid-century office setting seems not far removed from a Douglas Sirk melodrama or even Mad Men, but in Ozu's hands, this becomes the backdrop for a quietly seething indictment of a dehumanizing work life.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Ozu's despairing view of postwar Japan looks as harshly at blind modernization as it does at decadent tradition.
Combustible Celluloid

Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The simple storyline can't convey the many amazing scenes you get in an Ozu film that few other filmmakers are capable of delivering.
Filmcritic.com
Don Willmott
If you want to know who Yasujiro Ozu was and what he was all about, this is a great place to start.
New York Times
Nora Sayre
With subtle precision, Ozu shows how personal and national anxieties seep through infinite lives. Yet this impeccably acted movie is far from depressing, since the filmmaker stresses that mistakes aren't irreversible.
Chicago Reader
Don Druker
A casual yet meticulously detailed reconstruction of Japan's routinized white-collar milieu.
