4/5
Even before the film closes in on Isao Kusuno, the 2nd lieutenant who previously owned the sword, we're embroiled in a gripping saga, guided by Aidan MacCarthy's calm, matter-of-fact narration; as capable as ever. Go to Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson 02/14/2019

Well-woven in structure, non-judgemental in its observation, and extremely respectful of peaceful goals, this documentary is a richly pristine and compelling chronicle and time capsule. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
