Stephen Dalton Hollywood Reporter Its sluggish tempo and bloated running time undermine the intrigue-driven plot in places, but there is enough offbeat charm here to reward patient viewers. Dec 30, 2019 Full Review Chris Sawin Reel Rundown Kontora is this meaningful scrapbook of a film that reminds us that family remains important despite whatever aspirations we may have for our own lives. Rated: 3.75/5 Apr 18, 2021 Full Review Mark Schilling Japan Times It makes its points more by poetic metaphor, though it is also firmly grounded in the real, including the darker sides of its characters' psyches. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 17, 2021 Full Review Kevin Wight The Wee Review Lengthy but profound spiritual meditation on grief and healing. Rated: 4 Mar 4, 2020 Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse "Kontora" is not a film without merits and Chauhan again has some very interesting ideas, while the visual "packaging" of the film is definitely engaging. However, there is such a thing as "too personal" and this is a trap it definitely falls into. Jan 26, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
