Cure Ratings & Reviews
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
Tough to shake even when it feels more like an exercise than a movie.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
The single best horror film I've seen this century.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
It's unsatisfying as a story precisely because it aspires to create a mounting sense of dread by enlarging questions rather than answering them.
Variety
David Rooney
Tone and atmosphere mirror subject to perfection in Kiyoshi Kurosawa's hypnotic trip into the lower depths of the human mind.
San Francisco Chronicle
Bob Graham
It's more psychological than a genre movie, and that is the source of both its greatest interest and its biggest problem.
Slate
David Edelstein
A grave, magnificently creepy thriller.
Chicago Tribune
John Petrakis
Once again [Kurosawa] takes on a familiar genre, the murder mystery, but he imbues it with so much angst and psychological juice that it takes on a life of its own.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
With its gift for infusing uneasiness into every frame, Kurosawa's moody, unnerving film continues to spook us even after the lights have gone on.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Rather than resort to clever plot twists and reversals, Kurosawa constructs an elaborate psychological maze and then strands us in the middle of it.
Newsday
John Anderson
Cool and caustic.
Citysearch
Bilge Ebiri
Kurosawa takes a reasonably engaging thriller plot and turns it into a mesmerizing masterwork.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
Cure sticks with you -- it's a movie about the power of suggestion that casts a troubling spell on the viewer as well.
Screen Slate
Stephanie Monohan
Arguably overshadowed by other films in the turn-of-the-century J-Horror canon like Ringu (1998) and Audition (1999), Cure lives on as one of the more powerful works of the era.
Slant Magazine
Jake Cole
It was here that Kurosawa Kiyoshi's distinctive approach to genre film fully bloomed, an oblique form of horror that unsettles precisely for how much exists outside the frame as much as what lies within it.
Psychocinematography
Pieter-Jan Van Haecke
A magnificent horror-mystery narrative that reveals, in a pulsating way, the very truth that every subject hides a destructive drive and violent desire.
Polygon
Austen Goslin
There may not be demons or ghosts, but there is enough haunting existential dread to make Cure stick with you like an old nightmare.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
...leans more heavily into psychological horror and existential dread...emphasized by the isolation production designer Maruo and cinematographer Kikumura introduce with long shots of figures in sterile industrial locations and a windswept beach.
Deep Focus Review
Brian Eggert
Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Cure takes its time implanting itself in your mind before completely taking you over, not unlike the mysterious killer at the film's center.
SpookyAstronauts
Emma Wolfe
Lingers long after the credits roll.
Asian Movie Pulse
Panos Kotzathanasis
"Cure" is a true masterpiece that transcends the borders of the J-horror by combining it with a number of philosophical comments, while Kurosawa's trait of creating imposing atmospheres finds its apogee here. A must-see for every fan of cinema.
