Chicago Sun-Times -
The movie is uncommonly absorbing.

Wall Street Journal -
Beautiful moments abound. In Departures, the contemplation of death prepares the way for an appreciation of life.

The Hollywood Reporter -
Yojiro Takita, who directed enduring commercial hits like "The Ying Yang Master" and "The Yen Family," has made a popular gem -- thematically respectable, technically hard to fault, artfully scripted to entertain and touch.

Village Voice -
Departures is built for simplicity, and, if nothing else, the appeal to decency and integrity of this sweetly old-fashioned tale make it a must for Bernie Madoff's prison Netflix queue.

It will absolutely delight the art-house crowd. Multiplexes will be crowded with noisy summer films, after all, from which Departures will represent a sophisticated and elegant departure.
