Asian Movie Pulse

“Yamabuki” is quite pleasant to watch for at least 75 of its 97 minutes, as Yamasaki’s intelligence, great writing, and interesting comments truly shine, carrying the movie for the majority of its duration.

Rated: 6.5

Yamabuki is a story about the dark side of life behind its sweet side. A melodramatic and tender story that will leave everyone's conscience and heart restless.[Full review in Spanish]

It is in this contrast between the enveloping stillness and the ineffable inner conflicts that the essence of Yamabuki lies , crystallizing in the film's mise-en-scène through the combination of camera movements and still shots. [Full review in Spanish]

Yamasaki’s approach, if anything, displays a sense and awareness of the complexity that rural living contains, and that it may indeed be at the forefront of some of, the most stirring and existentially charged elements of modern living.

The steely self-possession of big-screen newcomer Kilala Inori is the chief saving grace of Yamabuki, an otherwise middling third feature from Japanese writer-director Juichiro Yamasaki.
