Nuclear Nation Reviews
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
Few films have opening images more chilling than the ruins of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, or more bleak than the last 10 minutes of "Nuclear Nation."
RogerEbert.com
Joyce Kulhawik
If you were looking for a documentary to blow the lid off the secrecy around the extent of the destruction, and lack of restitution-in other words outrage la Michael Moore-you will not find it here, but there is much that is worthy and troubling.
It's Just Movies
Ron Wilkinson
A minimalist look at the destruction of the city of Futaba in the wake of the meltdown of the Fukushima nuclear plants.
The Dissolve
Noah Berlatsky
The result is not exactly riveting cinema....it often seems caught between trying to tell a story...and its recognition that the story it has to tell is no story.
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
For the most part, the movie takes an eye-level approach to the disaster, focusing on the experiences of ordinary people living in makeshift shelters and public housing, lining up for food, and returning to their homes in hazmat suits.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
[Funahashi's] approach is direct, intimate yet respectful, and sometimes as mournful as the stark piano-and-flute score.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
If nothing else, the film will force you to reassess all the arguments for and against nuclear power.
Village Voice
Nick Schager
An assured and sobering documentary that charts the situation in Futaba, Japan, shortly after the 2011 meltdown at the nearby Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
Film Journal International
Ethan Alter
Nuclear Nation's anti-nuclear stance is very clear, but it admirably wants viewers to understand its argument instead of shouting it at them.
