Early Spring Reviews
New York Times
Nora Sayre
With subtle precision, Ozu shows how personal and national anxieties seep through infinite lives. Yet this impeccably acted movie is far from depressing, since the filmmaker stresses that mistakes aren't irreversible.

If you want to know who Yasujiro Ozu was and what he was all about, this is a great place to start.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The simple storyline can't convey the many amazing scenes you get in an Ozu film that few other filmmakers are capable of delivering.
New Yorker
Richard Brody
Ozu's despairing view of postwar Japan looks as harshly at blind modernization as it does at decadent tradition.
Chicago Reader
Don Druker
A casual yet meticulously detailed reconstruction of Japan's routinized white-collar milieu.
MovieScope
Anton Bitel
despite giving full expression to the disappointments and despair of white-collar drudgery... it ends in fragile reconciliation and the restoration of a dream which, though perhaps empty, gains strength precisely from being shared.
Combustible Celluloid
