Entertainment Reviews:

[T]his highbrow road movie is an absorbing, technically assured piece of work with poetic depths and novelistic ambitions.

[T]his is no claustrophobic, single-setting psychological thriller...Rather, it feels as expansive as the whole world.
Washington Post

A quiet masterpiece from the Japanese director Ryusuke Hamaguchi, DRIVE MY CAR is a story about grief, love and work as well as the soul-sustaining, life-shaping power of art.
New York Times

Bountiful in subtle imagery from cinematographer Hidetoshi Shinomiya, the film mines majestic visual symbolism from seemingly ordinary occurrences.

DRIVE MY CAR contains many extended takes in which actors workshop lines and scenarios through improvisation. Language is key here -- be it Japanese, with its nuances of politeness and elliptical implication, or body languages and facial expressions.

[An] intimate epic about plays, tragedies and automobiles...
Los Angeles Times

[I]t pursues a kind of cinematic stillness to match Murakami’s plain, serene prose, and takes things suitably slow -- this is the kind of film where the opening credits arrive 40 minutes in -- as it ponders just how much time can heal all wounds.
Variety

5 stars out of 5 -- It is a film about the link between confession, creativity and sexuality and the unending mystery of other people’s lives and secrets.
