Cast

Critical reception

Boyd van Hoeij of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a favorable review, saying, "A double-take scene in an empty church is an especially strong moment because of Rahim's (and Kurosawa's) tacit understanding of understatement."[2] Meanwhile, Sam Fragoso of TheWrap gave the film an unfavorable review, describing it as "two or three movies haphazardly wrapped into one."[3] Andrew Barker of Variety called it "Heavy on moody atmospherics yet fundamentally inert."[4] Keith Uhlich of Slant Magazine stated that it is reminiscent of William Dieterle's 1948 romantic fantasy film, Portrait of Jennie.[5]
