Christina Newland iNews.co.uk The result is a celebration of homegrown courage, with the vastly overpowered citizens fighting to protect the fragile progress of their rebuilt lives and to banish Godzilla back to the depths of the sea. Rated: 5/5 Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) Yamazaki’s screenplay has subtly framed Shikishima as a stand-in for the nation at large, sloughing off macho Imperial dogma from underneath a suffocating shroud of survivor’s guilt. Rated: 4/5 Jun 3, 2024 Full Review David Sims The Atlantic Godzilla himself takes up only a slim chunk of a run time largely devoted to people running around in awe and horror. That is why Godzilla Minus One is a great film rather than merely an impressive feat of monstrous visual effects. Feb 6, 2024 Full Review Steve Biodrowski Cinefantastique ...goes beyond being a great monster movie to simply being a great movie - heartrending, frightening, and ultimately redemptive. Rated: 5/5 Nov 4, 2024 Full Review Vera Wylde Council of Geeks This is easily, by a pretty wide margin, the best human movie that's ever been in a Godzilla movie. Sep 23, 2024 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand ... a film as much about the legacy of World War II on Japan’s citizens as it is about a giant lizard rising from the sea to wreak havoc on the island nation.

Keeps the story very simple and appealing for almost anybody. It even made me cry a few times. It is in Japanese with English subtitles, if that’s not your forte.
