Early Summer Reviews
Reno Gazette-Journal
Mark Robison
Ozu newcomers will have trouble following the 19 characters, but fans will love it.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The usual Yasujiro Ozu masterpiece about the clash in family life over traditional and modern values in postwar Japan.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Ozu's films fill me with such a profound sense of serenity and emotional richness that it makes me wonder why people rent or buy anyone else's movies.

Jake Euker
the perfect vehicle for chronicling the small pleasures and disappointments that comprise the bigger enterprise of life
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
If you've seen one Ozu film, you probably have the drift of his austere, quiet style, and you don't need my recommendation. If you haven't, take a chance.
Classic Film and Television
Michael E. Grost
Rich look at romantic lives of everyday Japanese, with a profound lesbian subtext.
Projected Figures
Anton Bitel
in keeping with the shift in seasons, there is a comic lightness to the proceedings - even if, as the film draws towards its conclusion, we become increasingly aware of autumn's chilly approach.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Leo Goldsmith
Early Summer is the apotheosis of Ozu's investigations of domestic, geographical and emotional space.
