Philip French Guardian A difficult film to like, an impossible one not to grudgingly admire. Feb 22, 2011 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian I have to say that, despite its effective opening premise and some interestingly spacey mood-alterations and tonal shifts, I found it overcooked and overwrought, and sometimes quite implausible... Rated: 2/5 Feb 17, 2011 Full Review Dominic Radcliffe Little White Lies An engaging and undeniably interesting slant on the source of vendetta and the psychology behind violence and cruelty. Rated: 3/5 Feb 17, 2011 Full Review Martin Tsai Critic's Notebook "Confessions" was a bona fide cultural phenomenon that sent shockwaves through Japan's collective conscience before the tragic earthquakes and tsunami drove people further into soul-searching. Oct 7, 2015 Full Review David Edwards Daily Mirror (UK) You'll need caffeine on an IV drip to survive it. Rated: 2/5 Feb 18, 2011 Full Review Henry Fitzherbert Daily Express (UK) A confusing and rather daft Japanese mystery/horror yarn... Rated: 2/5 Feb 18, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Liam D An hard hitting Drama that has great performances from the entire cast (including the child actors) and isn’t afraid to go dark and depressing Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/13/24 Full Review frederick c The film was very captivating and didn't let you breathe for a second, impressive even with subtitles. Gave an intriguing insight into the world being played out, and educational to say the least. As a first Japanese film it was very good. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/14/23 Full Review S. C A bit may be hard to follow at times due to the narrative structure. Probably because I've never seen a movie before that has been edited like this. But other than that it's engaging and suspenseful. Soundtrack's good as well. I noticed some of Boris. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie had strong characters with strong motivation and a gripping plot with a shocking plot twist at the end. The cinematics where unique and creative. My only complaint is the drawn out opening where the teacher gives plot exposition for 30mins. This could have been shortened. Overall a captivating unique experience definitely worth seeing yourself! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/19/23 Full Review Fra B A traumatic experience conveyed with incredibly original moviemaking. What it's about is hard to discuss in the real world. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/22 Full Review Audience Member Promising start, but at the end left with a kind of confusion. Worth watching it, but not thinking over. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
