Joseph Walsh CineVue This is a film of subtle beauty and tragic isolation - moving, well crafted and undeniably challenging. Rated: 3/5 Aug 23, 2018 Full Review Anton Bitel Eye for Film Akahori may start off riding the familiar road of vengeance, but his narrative takes so many unexpected and bizarre detours that by the close, the revenge motif has become completely decentred, giving way to a quirky study of lost souls. Nov 18, 2012 Full Review Shaun Munro What Culture Uneven, frustrating and occasionally brilliant, but unsatisfying overall. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 11, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member What should have been a 15mins short film here stretches into 2 hours - had it been 15mins, it would probably get 2.5 stars for wasting less of its audience's time. Narratively frustrating with too many randomly quirky characterisation and plotting that comes across more indulgent and meaningless (as opposed to artistic or allergorical). A slow piece of ponderous nonsense. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
