Reception
David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film an unfavorable review, saying: "Too much lethargic, unclear plotting and saccharine melodrama mean the gentle film is seldom as intriguing as its premise, even if Kurosawa as always provides arresting visual moments and has a commanding way of building atmosphere out of stillness."[6] Meanwhile, Maggie Lee of Variety said: "Fans of Kurosawa’s earlier psycho-thrillers may desire more eeriness and visual panache, but those who’ve accepted the helmer’s conscious change of tune and pace should be gently touched."[7] Derek Elley of Film Business Asia gave the film a 7 out of 10, saying: "Kurosawa Kiyoshi bounces back with a touching, offbeat love story between life and death."[8]
