Rashomon Ratings & Reviews
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
What Akira Kurosawa and his tiny production team wrought is now an accepted maxim of modern life, a creed by which to live in a world where everyone has a blog and an opinion.
Boston Herald
James Verniere
The film, a 1950 landmark exploration of the confoundingly elusive nature of truth, received an Academy Award at a time when the prize for foreign-language film did not exist.
Film.com
Jonathan F. Richards
Not many movies make such an impact that their names enter into the language. Rashomon is such a movie
Philadelphia City Paper
Sam Adams
Akira Kurosawa's four-way account of a man's murder has become so associated with its central device %u2014 not to mention its myriad offshoots %u2014 that it requires an effort to see it only for itself.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Film buffs should love it. But so should anyone who appreciates a good yarn or two (or three or four).
Apollo Guide
Dan Jardine
a game-shifter that challenges all we think we know about truth
TIME Magazine
Rashomon is a novel, stimulating moviegoing experience, and a sure sign that U.S. film importers will be looking hard at Japanese pictures from now on.
Variety
Variety Staff
This caused a flurry in critical circles for its brilliance of conception, technique, acting and its theme of passion.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Innovative, experimental and brilliantly constrcuted, Rashomon is one of world cinema's truly great works, questioning the notions of truth and morality with its multiple perspective, a film that put Kurosawa and Japanese cinema on the international map

Astonishing.

...reveals Kurosawa's own influence, especially on the filmmakers behind the recent rash of Japanese horror.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
An impressive piece of work, visually and rhythmically masterful.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
It does nothing less than demolishing everything its characters -- and some of its audience -- believed in.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
I suspect that most people who come to Japanese cinema first enter it through Kurosawa.
New Times
Luke Y. Thompson
A classic head-game of perception versus reality.
Austin Chronicle
It's not often that a movie title enters the common vernacular, but these days when we describe something as Rashomon-like we are referring to this movie's presentation of multiple versions of the truth.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
Much of the power of the picture -- and it unquestionably has hypnotic power -- derives from the brilliance with which the camera of director Akira Kurosawa has been used.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The wonder of Rashomon is that while the shadowplay of truth and memory is going on, we are absorbed by what we trust is an unfolding story.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
What Kurosawa implies in this haunting film is that in the retelling, inevitably every man will make himself out to be the hero or villain of the story.
