Rating: 4/5 --
Feudal honour is challenged by love with overwhelming consequences. Even die hard Zatoichi-ites will admire the deftness of Yamada's masterly direction.

Empire Magazine
Rating: 4.5/5 --
An impeccably made classic Japanese period picture in which a nobility of spirit is tested amid the most beautiful of settings, revealing the harshness and hypocrisy of a feudal society of the utmost formality and rigidity.

Los Angeles Times
Rating: 3/4 --
A very satisfying tale that emphasizes one of the genre's key themes: The deepest wound a samurai may suffer does not come from any blade.
Globe and Mail
Rating: 2/6 --
It's a satisfying story, played out in decorous period surroundings of the classic warrior tale but Yamada's 79th film lacks any hint of surprise or excitement.

Rating: 2/5 --
The storytelling is all rather flat, as is the lighting. And the duel, when it finally comes, is something of an anticlimax.

4 stars out of 5 -- This is an exquisite study in subtly shifting moods that are reflected by the passing seasons and Kimura's realisation that love is stronger than honour.
