Radiance Ratings & Reviews
Film Threat
Alan Ng
Radiance is a drama in every sense of the word.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
It's a love story of sorts, but one which demands a lot more of its protagonists - and its audience - than most of its ilk.
In Review Online
Chris Mello
But because the film is so often satisfied to lifelessly plod through the motions of a middling drama so light it might evaporate, there's not enough here to engage with past the surface.
Asian Movie Pulse
Panos Kotzathanasis
The parallel between Naomi Kawase and Misako is more than obvious, with the visually impaired committee members symbolizing both the audience and, even more, the critics, in quite ironic fashion (they are depicted as blind after all).
Awards Daily
Zhuo-Ning Su
At the heart of the film's somewhat heavy-handedly relayed message is a plea for empathy, the capacity and readiness to put oneself in someone else's shoes... I found myself struck by the profound modesty of this statement.
Fresh Fiction
Courtney Howard
While it never so much as dips its toe into cloying, melodramatic waters, the thoughtful rumination does embrace sentimentality and earnest intentions.
The Hollywood Reporter
Clarence Tsui
Radiance remains mired in underwritten relationships that end up less emotionally engaging than they appear, as well as pompous lines much less meaningful than they sound.
Variety
Guy Lodge
A gentle-hearted, quintessentially new-age but fatally cloying new outing from Japan's premier cinematic naturalist Naomi Kawase.
