A Samurai in Time Ratings & Reviews

A wonderful and tender time travel story that takes two enemies and challenges them both
Slant Magazine
Ross McIndoe
A Samurai in Time isn't just having fun with fake swords and chonmage wigs, as it also provides a lot of gentle reflections about history, modernity, and our place in it all.

Yasuda knows that he has something special in his hands, not only as a love letter to the jidaigeki but also as a deeply heartfelt examination of what happens when time is taken away from you and how one begins to find oneself again.

Jake Tropila
Despite... being a little distended in runtime, A Samurai in Time ends beautifully, guided to a safe landing by Yasuda, who capably balances genres and references with considerable amiability and skill.

Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
Two things elevate it. One is Yasuda's commitment to looking in depth at the culture of the Edo period... The other is seasoned jidaigeki actor Yamaguchi's wonderfully sensitive and sincere performance.
Elements of Madness
Douglas Davidson
... utilizes time dilation to bring the past to the present, creating an opportunity to explore the values of old and whether they can exist in modernity.
