J Hurtado ScreenAnarchy Just when you think it’s settling into a familiar rhythm, the film takes a number of hard left turns, first into comic absurdity, and then into introspection in a way that separates it from the pack. Aug 27, 2024 Full Review Rob Hunter Film School Rejects An absolute and utter joy of a film. Shinji Araki juggles genres like Steve Martin’s 1995-2005 filmography, moving between thrills, drama, comedy, and various genre conventions to deliver something truly special. Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Whilst we’re still reeling, trying to figure out the rules, Araki introduces an unexpected human element. Rated: 4/5 Jul 29, 2024 Full Review Pieter-Jan Van Haecke Psychocinematography Penalty Loop succeeds in delivering a nice twist on the time-loop dynamic, but the way Araki resolves the narrative’s thematical questions concerning vengeance and the working-through of trauma will divide spectators. Jun 25, 2024 Full Review Mark Schilling Japan Times Intriguing but frustrating. Rated: 3/5 Mar 28, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
