Justin Lowe Hollywood Reporter Ogata exposes not just the victim, but all of those who presume to judge her and attempt to disassociate themselves from their own unseemly actions. Dec 8, 2018 Full Review Dan Tabor Cinapse The Hungry Lion is not an easy pill to swallow, and it's a film that ultimately leaves you with more questions than answers. It's a bleak portrait of not just Japanese youth, but what it's like to be a young woman in our overconnected society. May 29, 2020 Full Review Mark Schilling Japan Times Ogata, who based the film on his own original script, draws no lessons, moralistic or otherwise. Rated: 4/5 Sep 20, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
