4/5
Equal parts fairy tale, lonely hearts romance, music-industry satire and kaiju spectacle, this is fun, far out and genuinely heartbreaking by turns. Go to Full Review Pieter-Jan Van Haecke Psychocinematography 12/15/2020
This romantic, musical, comedy mixed with some kaiju goodness is as absurd as it gets, but it hits all the right emotional notes. Go to Full Review Laura Di Girolamo Ghastly Grinning 02/20/2020
Love and Peace bounces from rock-n-roll cautionary tale to cheesy Muppets Christmas fable to rom-com to kaiju movie, never once landing on boring. Go to Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse 04/06/2019
If there was one filmmaker that could take the word unpredictable home, it would have to be Sion Sono. "Love and Peace" is a prominent example of the fact. Go to Full Review Deirdre Crimmins Film Thrills 08/21/2018
With any other director at the helm Love & Peace could have been hokey or childish, but here it is honestly warm and funny as hell. Through the entire screening I had a huge dumb grin peeled across my face and I loved every minute of it. Go to Full Review Alberto Acuña Cinema Movil 07/04/2016
It's easy to tell the creative force and imagination of the Japanese director hasn't been lost. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Hyuu E @Thisisbadjuju Dec 3 A strange but totally moving film. For me, an absolutely masterpiece exploring what becomes of unwanted things and a reminder to appreciate what we have more. See more Jonathan G 01/03/2024 Love & Peace is a beautiful wonder tale of a man with no self-esteem in a world hellbent on crushing him. Even automated doors are closed to him. All that changes when he gets a pet turtle. Underneath all the glamour happening, in the sewer, the lost and forgotten toys and pet living in the sewer brings the necessary sympathy to the story. When everything gets so big that it almost crumble underneath its weight, everything gets bigger in a beautifully grotesque finale. The visuals, the acting and the pacing are cranked up to give a unique magical flair. It's a great love story. It's a touching tale of self discovery. It's a neat Christmas movie. It's an adorable Kaiju flick. See more 03/29/2017 If you ever wanna see Director Sion Sono's musical side or children-friendly Sono, this is really is it!!! This film is quite good with the Toy Story feels concept meets with a sudden kawaii Godzilla-size at the end... See more Read all reviews
