Philip De Semlyen Time Out Fans of visceral, cynical action movies will lose their heads over it. Rated: 4/5 May 25, 2023 Full Review Siddhant Adlakha indieWire The eye-popping, blood-soaked vistas are a marvelous sight, as are its handful of striking moments of queer samurai imagery. However, Kitano’s tale of ambition and beheadings loses nearly all momentum in its second half. Rated: C+ May 23, 2023 Full Review Joshua Polanski In Review Online Viewers would be wise to allow Kitano's vision to overwhelm them as thoroughly as possible. Then and only then can one properly evaluate and appreciate such a passion.  Jul 19, 2024 Full Review Pieter-Jan Van Haecke Psychocinematography Kitano’s composition stands out due to its floaty and measured dynamism and its unrushed visual rhythm. Jul 5, 2024 Full Review Damon Wise Deadline Hollywood Daily Kitano’s new movie Kubi promises to do the same for samurai movie [as he did for the yakuza genre], and the bad news is that, though it really, really tries, it just doesn’t pull it off. Nov 14, 2023 Full Review Sarah Manvel Critic's Notebook Sometimes a person is just in the mood to see everyone die. When a work of art manages to go so far over the top that it comes around again, it’s astounding. And say what you will about “Kubi,” there isn’t a single dull second in it.
