A rollicking good time!

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 27, 2022

An affirmation of lost histories and outcast perspectives that screams with a protean power.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 27, 2022

It feels like the sort of film [Akira] Kurosawa would have made had he worked in animation.

Basically, “Inu-oh” is to Noh as spray-painted graffiti is to traditional Japanese calligraphy.

| Aug 12, 2022

A psychedelic, bombastic rock opera.

Yuasa's adaptation of Furukawa’s book is half-thrilling and half-underwhelming.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 12, 2022

A rich, unstable alloy of history, legend, musical pageantry and cinematic psychedelia, it mounts an argument for mind-expanding, complacency-rattling art in a world that often prefers the opposite.

The film’s animation is splendid, but its storytelling is so tangled that any two viewers might emerge from it with a completely different description of what it’s about.

| Aug 12, 2022

Even as Yuasa’s approach changes from section to section — as he plays with texture, volume and hue and gently shifts the balance between the figurative and the abstract — his extraordinary touch remains evident in each line and... eye-popping swirl.

A rock & roll, stadium show, pyrotechnic extravaganza.

| Aug 11, 2022

Even if the film sacrifices nuanced character detail and raw emotionality at the altar of its trans-centennial sweep, there's a rare power to the ecstatic way in which Yuasa insists that history can never truly be re-written.

| Original Score: B+ | Sep 15, 2021

It's a siren scream of a musical: angry and beautiful, rapturously animated and highly infectious.

| Sep 9, 2021

It has an originality of approach which should set it apart within the anime landscape.
