Harmonium Ratings & Reviews
Vague Visages
Andreea Patru
It's the demons within that Kôji Fukada astutely brings to life in 'Harmonium.
Asian Movie Pulse
Panos Kotzathanasis
"Harmonium" is another great piece of Japanese cinema, and the Jury Prize it received from the Un Certain Regard section at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, well reserved.
A Reel of One's Own
Andrea Thompson
Harmonium is so exquisitely crafted, featuring such quietly magnificent acting, editing, and direction, that it barely sullies the emotional maelstrom Harmonium leaves swirling in its wake.
San Diego Reader
Scott Marks
Is there anything more gratifying than a sweepingly downcast story told in a uniquely exhilarating manner?
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
Tadanobu Asano, who plays the ex-con, has rarely been better, and Kanji Furutachi and Mariko Tsutsui are heartbreaking as the husband and wife.
Sacramento News & Review
Daniel Barnes
Harmonium is a borderline-unbearable bummer, but it's also quietly captivating, with evocative framing and excellent performances.
The Film Stage
Ryan Swen
His film may be a bit too obviously constructed as it hurtles towards its ambiguous close, but there is no denying the power and remove with which he realizes it.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
It makes for a uniquely churning mix of detective story and recovery drama before it throws another wrenching reveal into the works.
East Bay Express
Kelly Vance
It shocks us long after we walk out of the theater, not with the short-lived scare of a jump cut or grisly image, but with something darker that lives quietly in the unexamined places of the soul.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Lewis
Fukada never resorts to melodramatics, and instead allows the carefully calibrated performances to give the movie its disquieting power.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
If you treat Harmonium like a mood piece, and respond to it on that level, you'll find yourself thinking about it long after you watch it.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
This chilly tale of violent secrets and unvoiced misery relies heavily on the skill of actors who seem to know that one false move could tip the whole enterprise into comedy.
AV Club
A.A. Dowd
By its unforgiving conclusion, Harmonium has plunged headlong into tragedy, but not quite in the way you might imagine.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
Just as in the best old-school, Cain-style noir, Fukada's film is eloquent about the fragile privileges of modern urban life and the hidden lies it can be built upon.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
Throughout Harmonium, writer-director Kji Fukada works in a rapt and lucid hyper-textural style that suggests a merging of the sensibilities of Alfred Hitchcock and Yasujir Ozu.
Film Comment Magazine
Jordan Cronk
Rather than employ Harmonium's setup for humorous or bittersweet insights, Fukada distills the conceit into his most harrowing, tragic parable to date.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
With strong performances from Tsutsui and Asano, impressive work from young Shinokawa and a sweetly judged turn from Taiga as a young man who gets caught up in the unfolding drama through an accident of fate, this is a beautifully crafted film.
The Playlist
Jessica Kiang
A slow first hour builds to a deeply involving and uncannily affecting second half in ... Fukada's chilly and chilling examination of familial guilt.
The Hollywood Reporter
Deborah Young
While the first hour slyly builds up the illusions of a man and his wife using the stranger as a catalyst for their weaknesses, in the second half their guilt and lies come home to roost with a shock. It's hard not to leave the film shaken.
Variety
Maggie Lee
A quietly combustible tale of punishment and crime set in motion when a family lets a mysterious man move in with them, "Harmonium" makes the viewer question neat causal equations of sin, retribution, and atonement.
