Boy Ratings & Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
An acerbic coming-of-age tale about a family of con artists faking car accidents and blackmailing the drivers to pay them off.
Chicago Reader
Don Druker
Oshima, the Japanese filmmaker most often compared with Godard, treats the material in a matter-of-fact manner that serves to heighten the dramatic impact and to create one of the most interesting films about children ever made.
Slant Magazine
Budd Wilkins
Nagisa Oshima and screenwriter Tsutomu Tamura encourage empathy without requiring emotionalism.
Village Voice
David Fear
This is what contemporary Japan looks like, it says: Not pillow shots and sword fights, just a country populated largely by predators and prey.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Nagisa Oshima offers a quietly bilious vision of mercenary corruption and postwar trauma.
