Early Summer Ratings & Reviews
LarsenOnFilm
Josh Larsen
For Yasujiro Ozu, domestic tranquility always sits on a razor's edge...
Classic Film and Television
Michael E. Grost
Rich look at romantic lives of everyday Japanese, with a profound lesbian subtext.
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.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Leo Goldsmith
Early Summer is the apotheosis of Ozu's investigations of domestic, geographical and emotional space.
Filmcritic.com
Jake Euker
the perfect vehicle for chronicling the small pleasures and disappointments that comprise the bigger enterprise of life
Reno Gazette-Journal
Mark Robison
Ozu newcomers will have trouble following the 19 characters, but fans will love it.
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.
