Reviews


100
Christian Science Monitor - David Sterritt
This thoughtful, troubling drama is leagues above the sensationalistic stuff Araki peddled in earlier films.
90
The New York Times - Dana Stevens
A gorgeous, heartbreaking and utterly convincing work of art.
88
New York Post - Lou Lumenick
Not for the squeamish, but it is a beautifully crafted and thoughtful film that genuinely provokes.
80
Village Voice - Dennis Lim
With remarkable directness and composure, it shatters the myth of childhood innocence and the deathless taboo of prepubescent sexuality.
70
Variety - David Rooney
By turns spiky and lyrical, this unsettling drama will be anathema to many audiences, but is bound to be a provocative, talked-about release.
