"Details a Japanese cause célèbre with ramifications for Pacific Rim Asia and, today, for world politics at the highest levels."
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Donald J. Levit
"The documentary never finds the appropriate rhythm to match the severity of its subject matter."
Village Voice
Ed Gonzalez
2/5
"This topic deserved better than
America's Most Wanted
."
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
3/4
"
Abduction
pushes its poignant buttons while casting Megumi's kidnapping as a heinous crime, yet to its credit, it consistently does so with a deftly understated, devastating touch."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
6/10
"A touching but slender piece on the number one news piece in Japan. But what is the rest of the story?"
Monsters and Critics
Ron Wilkinson
3.5/4
"Incredibly powerful -- and never more so than when the filmmakers turn their cameras on the Yokotas and other victims' families, many of whom channel their pain and anger into political activism."
