Guy Lodge Variety Élise Girard’s droll, bittersweet romance mostly dodges [pitfalls] with grace and good humor, plus a pointed awareness of the limitations of its outsider perspective. Sep 4, 2023 Full Review Jordan Mintzer Hollywood Reporter A quietly touching tale of grief and ghosts. Sep 1, 2023 Full Review Desirée De Fez Fotogramas Girard explores the protagonist's wonder with charming minimalist humor and impresses her image on the scenery through her adventure. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Irene Crespo Cinemanía (Spain) Huppert is going to Japan and you'll want to go on a trip with her... [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Sep 12, 2024 Full Review Nadine Whitney AWFJ.org Sidone in Japan is irritatingly artificial. The humour is slight, the faux-profundity embarrassing. Girard’s Japonisme is empty aesthetic. Rated: 2/5 Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Mark Demetrius FILMINK (Australia) … a really slight and under-written affair, and never approaches the quasi-Zen sublimity or artfulness its makers evidently intended. Rated: 11/20 Jun 30, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
