Low-key, likable, a little bit slow but touching ultimately.

A gentle movie that in some ways may be the most daring debut feature of the year.

Rated: 3/4

A meeting of minds and cultures that's not like Crocodile Dundee -- it's not played for laughs. It's meaningful, and you feel like you're on a journey with both sides.

Spectrum Culture

What is supposed to be a heartwarming story of a rigorous businessman having his very own Cheryl Strayed moment ends up feeling more like an opportunity for audiences to find humor in cultural differences — and not in a good or flattering way.

Epoch Times

"Tokyo Cowboy's" realistic, comedy-lite approach to the lead character's culture shock makes for a mildy cringeworthy cinematic experience.

Rated: 3/5

Although the main story is somewhat cliched, the underlying comments the acting and the cinematography deem "Tokyo Cowboy" a more than competent effort

This film was an absolute delight! Ive had grand adventures in Japan and spent memorable times working a ranch in Utah. This film gave me a blend of happy memories. I look forward to owing it in DVD when it comes out.

This was a very interesting and different movie. It was funny at times, and I never knew where exactly it was going. I like not knowing where a movie is headed to. The acting was very good, and realist.

It was a very specific story and I loved the fact that there were multiple languages spoken throughout the film. This film dealt with real human issues and situations, while having levity and humor throughout. There was so much heart in this film and I cant wait for more people to see it.

Loved that it was an original movie and not based on IP. The writing and directing was wonderful and it clearly had strong producers behind it. I liked that it was a small indie drama and the humor and comedic moments really played so well in the theatre! A very fun theatrical experience.

This is a great movie. It's billed as a comedy, but it's really a gentle drama. The characters drive the story, and it's strong without being mean or angry. This is the first movie this year that I would see a second time in the theater.

Rip off of Local Hero 1983. Ok, but Local Hero is one of my top 10 films, so don’t get a pass on the rip offery.
