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 Grant Watson Fiction Machine 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. Rated: 8/10 Nov 19, 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 In 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 Read all reviews
