'Ozu... One of cinema’s greatest masters and alongside Mizoguchi, the finest film-maker Japan has given us'
'Fabulous'
'The sheer beauty of Ozu’s exquisite compositions and the expressive use of sound tell you all you need to know about the characters, their emotions and their relationships...Ozu mixes formal playfulness - resulting in many lovely subtle visual gags - with near-abstract painterly elegance'
Geoff Andrew - TIME OUT
'Small moments that break the heart'
'Yasujiro Ozu’s powerfully emotional films have been overlooked for too long'
'Ozu...One of the greatest film-makers who ever lived...some movies rank among the most perfect works of art made anywhere in the world over the last century. All of them are worth seeing'
'Ozu’s understanding of human emotions transcends time and place...a scrupulously fair observer of the clash of generations'
'Communicated through Ozu’s absolute mastery of film form...his profound understanding of cinema...Ozu’s films have extraordinary emotional power'
'Perfect technique, serving universal emotions'
S.F. Said - DAILY TELEGRAPH
'Exquisite...a rare delight'
'Ozu’s peerless composition and his contemplative serenity is as refreshing today as it was in the fifties...One of world cinema’s truly immortal directors...a master whose quiet power and depth of humanity never fails to astonish'
Neil Norman - EVENING STANDARD - METRO LIFE
 Film No 1 Critics’ Choice
'Gorgeous...this is a delight: a delicately coloured, beautifully acted melodrama that’s as measured as it is powerful'
