The movie’s engrossing visual and tonal language is all about seeding doubt, a promise on which Miike over-delivers, resulting in a tale that remains in morally gray territory long after it means to. Go to Full Review Rocco T. Thompson Slant Magazine Jun 11
2.5/4
Sham is primarily concerned with individual experience at odds with dominant narratives, and whether knowing one’s own reality can ever be solace enough if everyone else considers it fiction. Go to Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine Nov 19
8/10
For fans of Miike’s legendarily confronting genre works – internationally he still remains best known for Audition (1999) – it might disappoint. For fans of courtroom debate and Rashomon-like uncertainty, it is pretty effective stuff. Go to Full Review Sean Gilman In Review Online Aug 12
The truly harrowing position of Sham is not that there’s no such thing as truth, but rather that there is truth, and we, as a flawed people, have yet to develop a system in which we can find it. Go to Full Review Scott Phillips Forbes Aug 7
Sham is a masterful combination of insightful screenwriting, compelling performances and unintrusive direction. Go to Full Review Harris Dang In Their Own League Aug 5
4/5
Overall, Sham is a fantastic showcase for Takashi Miike forgoing his striking directorial style to tell a straightforward drama with honesty, eloquence and purity; led by fantastic performances from Go Ayano and Ko Shibasaki. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
