"CJ7 is a deceptive little delight, a movie that wisely avoids the pitfalls of its obvious homage to set its own cinematic course" -- PopMatters

"Frontier(s) still finds a way to mine the past while staying rooted in the present. It may seem recognizable, but it's a well made and effective awareness" -- PopMatters

"Yet what one can witness throughout the course of Eclipse Series 10: Silent Ozu is how, early on, this artist understood the value of less." -- DVD Verdict

Silent Ozu: Three Family Comedies (1933)n/a

93/100
 
"Ozu's compositions create plenty of iconic images (the two dejected lads walking home, a flat lonely landscape framing their defeat) and the performers - young and more mature - deliver flawless turns." -- DVD Verdict
