'Of the films by Yasujiro Ozu that I have seen, THE END OF SUMMER, is the BEST,
the MOST SUBTLE... in achieving the blend of comic insight and tragic vision...'
'Roger Greenspun - THE NEW YORK TIMES
'One of Ozu's most beautiful films, it is one of his most disturbing.'
Donald Ritchie - FILM COMMENT
'This penultimate pleaser from the master of minimalism'
'Another gem'
Geoff Andrew - TIME OUT
'Ozu, the great Japanese miniaturist’s penultimate movie...Imagine a mosaic formed of faience, each part quietly glowing with inner life'
Nigel Andrews - FINANCIAL TIMES
 'Emotionally involving...what starts out in a light, anecdotal manner gradually gets darker but enhances our understanding of the various relationships...laced with humour and compassion...Zen kitchen-sink drama at its best'
Ian Johns - THE TIMES
 'Another exquisitely judged late work....delicate, almost watercolour cinematography...
as if the pallid hues had been painted on to monochrome film stock by hand'
'About the awful and insoluble mystery of death and bereavement; it’s remarkable final sequence,
has a Bergmanesque resonance'
Peter Bradshaw - THE GUARDIAN
'Ozu’s delightful, melancholy farce'
Roger Clarke - THE INDEPENDENT
