My Neighbors the Yamadas
![My Neighbors the Yamadas review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/yamada-kun.webp)
"A simple screenshot cannot capture the amount of love and detail this film houses. The animation is exceptional, the music a blast and the film consists of one big succession of memorable moments."
Tekkonkinkreet
![Tekkonkinkreet review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/tekon-kinkreet.webp)
"A film with a very authentic (Japanese) anime feel, yet it benefits greatly from Arias' outside influences. It's superbly animated, sports a terrific score and tells a truly intriguing story."
Su-ki-da
![Su-ki-da review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/su-ki-da.webp)
"Su-ki-da is beautiful, heart-warming and extremely delicate. It's a film that puts you at ease and wraps itself around you. One of the dearest and most delicate love stories ever told."
Pi
![Pi review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/pi.webp)
"Visually it's starting to show its age, but the soundtrack more than makes up for that. This is still an exemplary film that should appeal to anyone with a taste for the different."
Irreversible
![Irreversible review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/irreversible.webp)
"Look beyond Irreversible's most infamous scenes and you'll find a conceptually perfect film, an audiovisual tour de force that is sure to leave a strong emotional footprint on all those watching it."
Grave of the Fireflies
![Grave of the Fireflies review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/hotaru-no-haka.webp)
"Not the ideal film for a fun evening on the couch, but it reaches well beyond the boundaries of traditional animation films and delivers an experience you'll be hard-pressed to find anywhere else"
Vital
![Vital review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/vital.webp)
"This is a typical Japanese drama infused and enriched with plenty of Tsukamoto goodness. The result is haunting, morbid, poetic and beautiful all at once."
Redline
![Redline review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/redline.webp)
"When looking for 100 minutes flat-out entertainment, tailored to be as goofy, crazy and mad as possible, and backed by an amazing technical accomplishment, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better film"
Rampo Noir
![Rampo Noir review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/rampo-noir.webp)
"An amazing collection of shorts, brought to life by superb actors and featuring strong and diverse styles. A true sight to behold and without a doubt one of the best Japanese horror projects around."
Allegro
![Allegro review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/allegro.webp)
"A strong, unique and captivating film that draws a few parallels to older classics, but stands well on its own. A true delight, sadly looked over by most people."
Vinyan
![Vinyan review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/vinyan.webp)
"Vinyan will stay with you. It's an experience not easily forgotten, tailored to perfection by Du Welz and his team. It's brooding, intense and filled with individuality."
Visitor Q
![Visitor Q review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/visitor-q.webp)
"You do have to be open to Miike's disturbing sense of humor and forgiving for its technical flaws, but once that is covered Visitor Q is one of the most hilariously funny films out there."
Mary and Max
![Mary and Max review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/mary-and-max.webp)
"It's funny, endearing and dark at the same time, hitting a very rare balance. Add to that the mastery coming from every frame and you have a true gem that should appeal to a pretty large crowd"
Big Bang Love, Juvenile A
![Big Bang Love, Juvenile A review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/big-bang-love.webp)
"If you want a more experimental and serious side of Miike, this film comes recommended. The film has its share of weird moments, but all the weirdness does seem to serve a higher, more artistic goal."
Tsuburo no Gara
![Tsuburo no Gara review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/tsuburo-no-gara.webp)
"Not as overly energetic or chaotic as its peers, rather it creates an eerie, claustrophobic atmosphere that drags you deeper into its concrete prison with each successive scene."
Talking Head
![Talking Head review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/talking-head.webp)
"One of Oshii's true masterpieces, dazzling and surprising its audience each chance it gets. If you don't mind the vague narrative, it's a succession of fun, interesting and challenging moments."
Pop Skull
![Pop Skull review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/pop-skull.webp)
"Pop Skull is an intense experience that will take you to rather unpleasant places in a pretty bold yet straightforward manner, but when it hits you the effect is tremendous."
Rabbits
![Rabbits review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/rabbits.webp)
"It's a simple, one-trick project that offers very little in the form of tangible content. On the other hand it's superbly captivating and extremely mysterious, unlike any other film I know."
Hot Gimmick: Girl Meets Boy
![Hot Gimmick: Girl Meets Boy review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/hot-gimmick-girl-boy.webp)
"The cinematography is lush and varied, the soundtrack is impressive, performances are great and the story intrigues, but it's the ridiculously perfect editing that left me floored."
Petal Dance
![Petal Dance review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/petaldance.webp)
"Playfully poetic, magically serene and pleasantly dreamy, watching this film is a calming experience that puts you right in there with the characters while providing a superb aesthetic frame."
Skins
![Skins review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/skins.webp)
"hyper-stylized, extremely daring and surprisingly well-balanced. There's a peculiar mix of easiness and awkwardness that is quite unique, on top of that the film works on multiple levels."
Junk Head
![Junk Head review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/junk-head.webp)
"With Junk Head, Hori delivers a sprawling sci-fi adventure, meticulously styled, set in a dark and perilous universe that harbors neat surprises around every corner."
Colonel Panics
![Colonel Panics review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/colonel-panics.webp)
"It's a wonderfully stylized, strongly realized and often completely baffling film that has both heart and brains and lacks any kind of commercial filter."
Ghost in the Shell
![Ghost in the Shell review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/ghost-in-the-shell.webp)
"Oshii's film remains a monument of film making that still knows to impress and entrance. It's a superb sci-fi film, boasting tons of highly atmospheric scenes and a good story to boot"
Yakuza Apocalypse
![Yakuza Apocalypse review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/yakuza-apocalypse.webp)
"Yakuza Apocalypse is the kind of Miike I adore. The film looks good, sounds good, is stacked with crazy ideas and even weirder characters and dares to cross the line of common sense more than once."
