Siddhant Adlakha Variety 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. Jul 8, 2025 Full Review Rocco T. Thompson Slant Magazine 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. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 11, 2025 Full Review Sean Gilman In Review Online 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. Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Scott Phillips Forbes Sham is a masterful combination of insightful screenwriting, compelling performances and unintrusive direction. Aug 7, 2025 Full Review Harris Dang Their Own League 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. Rated: 4/5 Aug 5, 2025 Full Review Maxance Vincent Awards Radar Sham the best thing Miike has directed since First Love and one of the best films to have premiered at Fantasia this year. It lingers with you in a way that few of his films do, with no excessive violence required. Rated: 4/4 Aug 5, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
