4/5
"Despite its length, it never drags."  Eye for Film  Amber Wilkinson

8/10
"A powerful film."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Dragan Antulov

3/4
"Kagemusha, much like the similarly overblown but handsomely mounted Lawrence of Arabia, is an epic with a cipher in its point position."  Slant Magazine  Eric Henderson

"Kurosawa once famously remarked, 'In all my films, there's three or maybe four minutes of real cinema.' [That] comes close to describing Kagemusha."  The L Magazine  Henry Stewart

3/5
"At worst, the film is an empty vessel that places blind trust in affected stillness and symmetry... the movie quite often switches on a dime to more deep and meaningful textures."  Time Out New York  Keith Uhlich

"Here, as in all of Kurosawa’s late films, this sense of hopeless fixity renders unconvincing any hope for human agency."  Not Coming to a Theater Near You  Leo Goldsmith
