4/5
Superb example of the gendai-geki brand of petit-bourgeois melodrama Go to Full Review

Cinema that speaks to the soul. Go to Full Review

4/5
Formal and restrained - the sort of cinema that demurely keeps the audience at arm's length. But it has a mild humour. Go to Full Review
Joshua Polanski Boston Hassle 07/05/2024
It’s such a simple film—as Ozu films basically promise—and that’s because life is simple. Go to Full Review
Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid 07/16/2010
Late Autumn lacks the sublime final moments of Late Spring, but Ozu seems more relaxed, more reflective and more in control here. Go to Full Review

05/11/2024 Masterpiece! Ozu cannot be stopped! One of the best of the best! But ALL of Ozu's works are his best! See more william d @acsdoug 08/04/2021 I consider myself an Ozu fan, but I just couldn't get into this one. It's just a bunch of busybodies meddling into other people's lives, and the strong dramatic moments that Ozu's films normally end with are missing here. See more s r @ScottR 12/01/2020 Another simple and beautiful drama by Ozu. The subtle nuances of Japanese culture make this movie that much better. It's about people trying to help others find love, but how things can go wrong. A slow film, but it's still good. Saw on HBO. See more 06/22/2018 Yasujiro Ozu directed this wonderful look at love and marriage, focusing on the relationship of a mother and daughter. See more 02/14/2018 Plotwise it's extremely similar to Late Spring, although this time with a mother-daughter rather than fatther-daughter relationship at its core. Though interesting enough it lacks the emotional power of the earlier film - perhaps because the wonderful Chishu Ryu only has a tiny cameo here, and nobody comes close to filling his shoes.
