[With] storytelling brio, sharp observation, and incredible emotional power...
Premiere
Somehow it still touches on a world that grows deeper within me every autumn, even as its themes and props encircle me.

The New York Review of Books
...Kurosawa never lets us forget that Watanabe's courage is as great as that of any warrior....A tale of heroism...
Sight and Sound
...Kurosawa opens his story with a deliberate, low-key pacing, although at the end there is rage against the dying of the light...
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 5/5 --
Nelson Henderson famously said "the true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit." Kurosawa bathes us in the light of a man who gets to not only plant the seed, but look out on the sapling, with contentment.

Graffiti With Punctuation
Kurosawa's eclectic style is a delight: his striking, varied compositions reflecting the old man's journey from darkness to some kind of light right until the moving finale.

Time Out
[An] extraordinary urban epic with an unusual two-part story construction that turns out to be the right narrative choice.
USA Today
