She Taught Me Serendipity (2024) 4/5 “The film’s opening scenes are fizzy with comic energy, generated by both Ohku’s clever, off-center dialogue and the chemistry between Hagiwara and Kawai.” – Japan Times Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Ghost Killer (2024) 100% 3/5 ““Ghost Killer” is the latest proof that Sakamoto and Sonomura produce superior action entertainment, no matter who is in the director’s chair.” – Japan Times Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Let's Meet at Angie's Bar (2025) 3/5 “Kusabue plays this character with an infectious energy and verve. Angie may be a thin conceit and the film itself is a trifle with retread gags and formulaic drama, but Kusabue makes it all watchable.” – Japan Times Apr 7, 2025 Full Review Ravens (2024) 3/5 “Asano plays Fukase with scapegrace charm.” – Japan Times Mar 31, 2025 Full Review My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999 (2025) 3/5 ““My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999” is more than a warmly colored romantic fantasy, exemplifying as it does that ancient truth: It hurts to be in love, but it hurts even more not to take a chance” – Japan Times Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Welcome to the Village (2025) 3/5 “"Welcome to the Village” foregoes standard genre thrills in favor of a more realistic, if still gripping, investigation into a cultural and psychological heart of darkness.” – Japan Times Mar 25, 2025 Full Review During the Rains (2024) 3/5 ““During the Rains” is not preachy or moralistic, though it bluntly delivers observations that films about the sex industry generally imply, at best. ” – Japan Times Mar 25, 2025 Full Review From Okinawa with Love (2023) 4/5 “What a force of nature and what a vivifying, mind-expanding film. “From Okinawa with Love” delivers Ishikawa’s personality and message up close and in the round. ” – Japan Times Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Mitsuki, Sekai (2024) 4/5 “When the paths of Yumi and Aki intersect, as they must, the setting and treatment are, like so much of this quotable movie, both fresh and true to their personal trajectories.” – Japan Times Mar 25, 2025 Full Review The Real You (2024) 3/5 ““The Real You” combines classic sci-fi concerns about the rise of artificial entities with familiar Japanese movie melodrama about dark family secrets.” – Japan Times Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Lust in the Rain (2024) 4/5 “In the boldness and scale of its vision, it stands out from the crowd of cautious, small-minded local movies.” – Japan Times Mar 25, 2025 Full Review A Bad Summer (2025) 4/5 “The versatile Kitamura gives a layered performance that both moves and disturbs as his casework character reveals his loneliness — and coiled anger.” – Japan Times Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Nemurubaka (2025) 3/5 “The high energy of the climax, though expected, is genuine and stirring. “Nemurubaka: Hypnic Jerks” is a full-throated wake-up call to chase your passion.” – Japan Times Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Reveal (2024) 3/5 ““Reveal” is a gripping revelation of not only a troubled spirit but also a consummate talent in a role Takiuchi totally inhabits.” – Japan Times Mar 22, 2025 Full Review Yasuko, Songs of Days Past (2025) 3/5 “In playing her arc from obscurity to stardom, Hirose shows us not only why Yasuko deserves the film’s first billing, but also how one layered and luminous performance can lift this throwback of a movie triumphantly into the 21st century.” – Japan Times Mar 22, 2025 Full Review Kanasando (2025) 2/5 “The film’s third act, in which Mom and Dad’s momentous first date is comically and dramatically reenacted, combines broad humor and full-bore sentimentality.” – Japan Times Mar 22, 2025 Full Review Kisspeptin Chronicles (2023) 3/5 “Whether or not the story has a basis in the Okada siblings’ own lives, it has the ring of lived truth, directed with a quirky originality” – Japan Times Mar 22, 2025 Full Review Sakura (2024) 3/5 “Hana Sugisaki’s performance as Izumi Moriguchi... is a cut above the usual star turn in a domestic whodunit. ” – Japan Times Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Hakkenden (2024) 3/5 “The film’s period action, not unexpectedly, is on the simplistic side, with the warriors played by young ikemen (handsome guy) actors who are interchangeable rather than individual.” – Japan Times Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Sunset Sunrise (2025) 3/5 “As this comic conflict moves toward its foregone conclusion, the film serves up shot after shot of local delicacies as well as reveal after plot reveal about Momoka and Akio designed to stir sighs and open tear ducts.” – Japan Times Mar 7, 2025 Full Review Serpent's Path (2024) 3/5 “The 2024 film is a solid-enough entry in the director’s lengthy filmography but will not make anyone forget the 1998 original” – Japan Times Jan 23, 2025 Full Review Teki Cometh (2024) 4/5 “That said, in the hypnotically baffling and compelling “Teki Cometh,” meaning and message are open to interpretation. And Gisuke’s dilemma is universal...” – Japan Times Jan 23, 2025 Full Review Mending Cracks (2024) 2/5 ““Mending Cracks,” we realize, refers not only to Mamoru’s profession, but also to the closure the brothers seek to achieve. An apt metaphor — too bad the film’s interpretation is at times muddled and muffled.” – Japan Times Jan 23, 2025 Full Review Moving (1993) ““Moving” is a profound and poetic statement about the cost and joy of moving on.” – Japan Times Jan 23, 2025 Full Review Performing Kaoru's Funeral (2024) 3/5 “And for all its muddles and murkiness, the film makes us feel its strength, as well as its pain. ” – Japan Times Nov 25, 2024 Full Review
