In truth, it's nothing short of a luxuriant love letter."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron C- "More of a curiosity than a cohesive sampling of cinematic visions, "Tokyo!" fails to impress."   Daily Radar   Cole Smithey "Taken together, the three movies in Tôkyô! create a frightful, smart, and lingering impression."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs "Tickles, repulses, and beguiles"   CinePassion   Fernando F. Croce 3/5 "Three different short tales about the dark side of urban living with the Japanese city providing a backdrop."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 2/4 "Tokyo! is most notable for how little its title really means."   Film and Felt   Gabe Leibowitz 3/5 "At its best, the movie is a stylish spin through the Tokyo universe, a play on the psychology and realities of one of the world's most urbanized societies"   Filmcritic.com   Jay Antani 3.5/5 "Taken as a whole, the three parts of Tokyo! provide a challenging picture of contemporary Japan."   Boxoffice Magazine   John P. McCarthy B- "The three directors themes are a more global take on urban alienation than anything too specifically Japanese...Joon-ho Bong's ("The Host") piece closes and it is the most satisfying overall."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "Sandwiched between Gondry and Bong's variously euphoric entries, Carax's contribution seems either a work of deep cynicism from an inveterate party-pooper or a welcome satirical sour note from one of the great talents of 80s and 90s French cinema."   Reverse Shot   Leo Goldsmith "This triptypch of short flicks about the Japanese capital by non-Japanese filmmakers is wildly intriguing to me, as someone who has never been there but would like to visit..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson "In this surprisingly rich anthology, it's not merely location that proves the primary connective tissue, but a sense of individuals struggling to cope with detachment."   The Screengrab   Nick Schager B- "Three very different directors...travel to the land of the lotus blossom to lend their collective eyes to a world that is Tokyo!"   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 8/10 "Three features about life in the big city that are remarkable in their creativity and impact but take hard work to appreciate. Blink and you miss it."   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson "Unfortunately, the weirdness is not always entertaining - in some cases it is merely boring - but there is enough going on to make this interesting for fans of art house cinema."   Cinefantastique   Steve Biodrowski 4.5/5 "There are amazing things in this movie, even in the unsuccessful parts, and fans of any one or all three of these directors should leave feeling that it was worth the trip."   DVDTalk.com   Tyler Foster  (1 - 17) of 17 OFCS Rating: 82% Fresh Page   1
