Jamie Healy Radio Times Equal parts fairy tale, lonely hearts romance, music-industry satire and kaiju spectacle, this is fun, far out and genuinely heartbreaking by turns. Rated: 4/5 Aug 30, 2024 Full Review Pieter-Jan Van Haecke Psychocinematography This romantic, musical, comedy mixed with some kaiju goodness is as absurd as it gets, but it hits all the right emotional notes. Dec 15, 2020 Full Review Laura Di Girolamo Ghastly Grinning 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. Feb 20, 2020 Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse 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. Apr 6, 2019 Full Review Deirdre Crimmins Film Thrills 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. Aug 21, 2018 Full Review Alberto Acuña Cinema Movil It's easy to tell the creative force and imagination of the Japanese director hasn't been lost.

VideoJockey J 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. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/03/24 Full Review Audience Member 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... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
