      Tomris Laffly Harper's Bazaar Black Box Diaries is a generous, courageous, and ultimately hopeful film end to end, cementing Ito—named by Time as one of the world’s most influential people in 2020—as a significant new voice. Feb 5, 2024 Full Review Ross McIndoe Slant Magazine The film leaves on a razor’s edge between hope and despair, encouraged on the one hand by the passion with which justice is being demanded and, on the other, depressed by the widespread indifference with which these demands are met. Rated: 3/4 Feb 1, 2024 Full Review Valerie Complex Deadline Hollywood Daily With unflinching access, we trail Ito as she covertly records conversations, desperately chasing leads before the truth can be buried for good. Jan 31, 2024 Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba It’s a powerful documentary more for the story it's telling than on its merits as a film. Mar 19, 2024 Full Review Amanda Sink The Hollywood Outsider Black Box Diaries is an intimate exploration into the absolute absurdity of Japan’s decades-old rape laws and the lengths to which a rape or sexual assault victim must go through for justice. Rated: 9/10 Mar 12, 2024 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots A disturbing, courageous, and infuriating wake-up call that it’s always important to report and document incidents of sexual assault so we can all band together to fight for justice and change.
