Reviews

The Guardian -
If you are going to see one outlandish and occasionally nauseating bloodbath samurai pic this year, this is the one.

|
Village Voice -
Come for the gory swordplay, stay for the half-serious melodrama.
|
|
Slant Magazine -
Takashi Miike's film is a work of robust genre craftsmanship that's informed with a sly sense of self-interrogation.

|
Philadelphia Daily News -
The movie also runs 2 hours, 20 minutes, which is a lot of dead samurai. The violence is often numbing, and the translations — the movie is subtitled — are sometimes as deadly as the swordsmanship. On the other hand, Blade of the Immortal is flat-out gorgeous. Widescreen, lush, beautiful.

The Hollywood Reporter -
Miike’s facility for the sharply sketched portrait, in between bouts of bladed mayhem, remains as shrewd as ever.
