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."
