Kevin Thomas · Los Angeles Times 90.00/100.00

A heart-tugger made totally irresistible because of the combination of Kitano's wry, sly sense of humor and his rigorous detachment.

[未注销] 4.00/5.00

❶在“奇怪的叔叔”部分,删减有关恋童癖(未暴露)的内容约42秒。影响后续正男在出租车里哭的合理性以及观众对于纹身引发的梦境的理解,何况还有教育意义; ❷有很多“非静止画面”的镜头,分镜之间明显的停顿制造出独特的喜剧效果(虽然不是我的菜)。两人戴着墨镜在酒店违反规定而遭到经理劝阻,是我最喜欢的部分; ❸一场寻母的旅程,尽管终点不尽人意,在路途上已收获家人。这是一个理想化的世界,陌路人没有大奸大恶,即使反面角色出现也参与了幽默桥段; ❹在“大叔从楼梯上摔下来”部分之后就剧终也挺好; ❺下意识逃离吉村家能让我脑补菊次郎的童年。相似的家庭遭遇促成了一对忘年交,所以这不仅是正男的暑期,更是菊次郎的夏天; ❻听着久石让,夏天开始了。影片结束时,夏天也结束了。

Jonathan Rosenbaum · Chicago Reader 80.00/100.00

An experimental feature that keeps shooting off its ideas like an endless row of skyrockets, Kikujiro ultimately conveys this grief with such sustained intensity that it can only leave a scorched path of devastation in its aftermath.
