Keith Uhlich Slant Magazine Ginza Cosmetics is both fascinatingly and frustratingly dogged by its creator's self-awareness. Rated: 2.5/4 Feb 7, 2006 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine While it is true that films like this are not Naruse's absolute best work, they still reveal a sensitive film director with a strong insight on the social issues of his time. Rated: 6/10 Jul 28, 2021 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews It's not the cheeriest of films, but it's excellently acted and presented. Rated: B- Jun 25, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

william d Good, but not great, mid 20th century Japanese film. If you're a fan of Japanese cinema from that era (as I am) you will probably like it. If not, you should probably give this one a pass. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Early 50's Naruse Toho effort, a mix between his early and later stylistics, and a showcase for Kinuyo Tanaka as a capable geisha raising a young son, making little money at a struggling nightclub. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
