(1 - 12) of 12 OFCS Rating: 82% Fresh Page   1   1/4 "I don't object to the oddities that Miike's populated his film with; no, the reason Gozu fails is because it's a bore, plain and simple."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair "Rivals the effective outlandishness of 'From Dusk Till Dawn.'"   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Donald J. Levit 2.5/4 "Unlike Ichi the Killer and the considerably shorter Visitor Q, Gozu’s random acts of hysteria don’t seem to add up to anything."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez 5/5 "This is Takashi Miike doing David Lynch, and as he's shown before, the man is a genius. He surpasses Lynch in pure weirdness while retaining a certain inner logic to the proceedings."   Film Threat   Jeremy Knox "Very slow in spots, with Miike saving it all up for his big finale, which I dare not speak of lest the nightmares return."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 5/10 "Miike has a knack for tapping into deep-seated cultural anxieties-- particularly male sexual anxiety--that few filmmakers can match."   All Movie Guide   Josh Ralske B- "Cult director Miike crosses "Weekend at Bernie's" with "U-Turn" as if he arrived via David Lynch's "Lost Highway" to come up with his latest bit of boundary-bashing"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford B- "Gozu is entertaining and lively, but it lacks the focus of earlier Miike masterpieces..."   TheFilmJournal.com (Ohio)   Rick Curnutte B- "Fans of Yakuza horror movies finally get their day."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford B- "... prime evidence in the argument that gonzo gangster movie maverick Takashi Miike is a major director goofing on minor works."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 8/10 Read review   Movie Gazette   Anton Bitel Read review   Film Freak Central   Bill Chambers  (1 - 12) of 12 OFCS Rating: 82% Fresh Page   1
