Spirited, touching, and droll, Sensei is one of the many must-sees at the NYAFF. After all, in what other film, can the following line be one of seduction? "With you sitting beside me, I can press the gas pedal."

Japan Times

In Kuroki's brilliantly understated performance, the dreamy, unworldly Sawako has her steely side, too. Watching her unsheathe it is one of this charming and devastating film's many pleasures.

Rated: 3.5/5

CBR

Sensei, Would You Sit Beside Me? could easily be a short film (or even a short manga), but as a feature, it drags so little plot out over such a long time that it loses whatever spark it might have had.
