Seventh Row

Amiko's nonlinear association of thoughts and ideas, sign of a lively mind, determine the film's structure and its form... The film itself does not let its low budget stand in the way of visually daring and imaginative shots and sequences.

ScreenAnarchy

With the actions of its characters becoming both increasingly dangerous, and all too believable, Amiko is another strange yet poignant look at the complications of youth.

Amiko mixes up a lot of different filmmaking styles, mirroring the disordered and ever-changing emotional world of the central character.

Rated: 6/10
