REVIEWS RATE: Critics Readers Be the 1st!

“..those sequences are a clunky means of conflating the personal and political, and are ultimately low-lighted by abjectly corny scenes of Fox and Hatsune slo-mo frolicking in a sun-dappled bamboo forest..”

by Nick Schager [Village Voice]

Review rate : B-

“..the film keeps cutting to flashbacks of Fellers' doomed relationship with a Japanese college student and here too the romance never quite transcends the history lesson..”

by Owen Gleiberman [Entertainment Weekly]

“..call it old-fashioned filmmaking, but you learn a lot and come away feeling an impact all too rare in movies today..”

by Rex Reed [New York Observer]
