Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse 07/26/2020
Despite some positive elements here and there, "Tokyo Eyes" is a rather faulty film, which becomes very difficult to follow very soon. Go to Full Review
Chuck Rudolph Matinee Magazine 02/04/2002
B-
Less a crime flick than another disjointed thesis on unsettled, alienated youth. Go to Full Review
Daniel Eagan Film Journal International 02/02/2002
The film's calm, quiet tone and outsider's point of view give unexpected depth to what ends up a slender but enjoyable story. Go to Full Review

05/27/2009 Immersion in an anonymous Tôkyô, a labyrinth of small streets, a sweet romantic story. Let yourself go into this innocent and fresh romance ! A movie for open-minded tôkyô's fans ! See more 04/26/2009 French-Japanese production with nice camera work and plot and a cool soundtrack. The final scene is memorable. Kitanos appearance is very short and I am not sure whether his character really was significant for the movie after all. I can understand why people argue about whether the performances of the actors were good or not: I decided to like them. K's movements gave the film a unique vibe and Hinanos childish behavior and voice were in my opinion genuinely(!) adorable (- which is very hard to achieve with the stereotypical role of the Japanese high-school girl). See more 04/15/2009 Interesting premise, but the film never delivers any of the social commentary it tries to inject. Not a bad effort, but hardly memorable. The stars are mostly for Kitano's cameo as, you guess it, a low-rank yakuza. See more 04/10/2009 This movie seems scary but it is actually pretty sweet. See more 02/20/2009 a decent Japanese drama. See more 08/12/2008 Stylish Vigilante Flick. Romantic Sub-plot. Darkly Humorous & Enjoyable Viewing. See more Read all reviews
