Inu-Oh Ratings & Reviews
FilmWeek (LAist)
Tim Cogshell
It feels like the sort of film [Akira] Kurosawa would have made had he worked in animation.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Charles Solomon
An unusual film, an interesting film... But not your every animated feature or even your standard anime feature.
Variety
Peter Debruge
Basically, "Inu-oh" is to Noh as spray-painted graffiti is to traditional Japanese calligraphy.
The Film Experience
Nathaniel Rogers
While never short on creativity, the plot points and storytelling rhythms are hard to fathom at times since there's more than enough to keep you busy between the visual wonders and loud head-banging music with its storytelling lyrics.
Polygon
Kambole Campbell
A psychedelic, bombastic rock opera.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
Yuasa's adaptation of Furukawa's book is half-thrilling and half-underwhelming.
idobi.com
Julian Lytle
Inu-Oh is a beautifully animated film that's touching and rousing throughout from one of the best filmmakers today.
Common Sense Media
Jeffrey M. Anderson
It takes a while to really get going, but when it does, this anime musical is exhilarating, oddly beautiful, and piercingly relevant, given its depiction of greed, power, and lies.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
A rich, unstable alloy of history, legend, musical pageantry and cinematic psychedelia, it mounts an argument for mind-expanding, complacency-rattling art in a world that often prefers the opposite.
Wall Street Journal
Kyle Smith
The film's animation is splendid, but its storytelling is so tangled that any two viewers might emerge from it with a completely different description of what it's about.
Battleship Pretension
Alexander Miller
Inu-Oh is a heady swirl of anarchism, asserted style and folklore.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
Despite being great to look at, I found the story - which is really more of a thin scenario than a three-act structure - ponderous.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Even as Yuasa's approach changes from section to section - as he plays with texture, volume and hue and gently shifts the balance between the figurative and the abstract - his extraordinary touch remains evident in each line and... eye-popping swirl.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
A rock & roll, stadium show, pyrotechnic extravaganza.
Nashville Scene
Nadine Smith
A film like Inu-oh is at its best when it leaves words and stories behind and treats the animated image as something almost like music, a fully flowing medium for expression that changes like the air.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
Inu-Oh uses form and music to put a lesson in history and culture into a lively rock-and-roll context.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
It is cleverly animated, intelligent and full of passion. Unfortunately, its mingling of the repetitive musical style of Noh with modern metal riffs, whilst it seems to please some viewers, will leave others wanting to scream for all the wrong reasons.

Sherin Nicole
Inu-Oh is an inventive and beautiful animated rock opera set in an alternate feudal Japan. You get drawn into the folklore and big performances that are like a Bowie show if Es Devlin designed the set. It's incredible
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
Even if the film sacrifices nuanced character detail and raw emotionality at the altar of its trans-centennial sweep, there's a rare power to the ecstatic way in which Yuasa insists that history can never truly be re-written.
TheWrap
William Bibbiani
It's a siren scream of a musical: angry and beautiful, rapturously animated and highly infectious.
