Harakiri

Slow paced but it doesn’t get boring at any point. Costume design and sets are beautiful and immersive. Performances are fantastic throughout. Shot composition and framing elevate the excellent cinematography. The ending is very satisfying but it does take a while to get there

If I attempted to write a review for this magnum opus I would just end up having a linguistic breakdown. HOLY COWWWW!!!! Gotta give 10’s where 10’s are due.

This is the first classic samurai movie I've ever scene, and my god is this film amazing. The structure of this films leaves us wondering where the story is going, that is until the reveal before the final fight, that is so satisfying to watch. 9.5/10

I can see why people like this so much

Amazing film. Transfixing visuals and soundscape.  Extremely well-written with some truly beautiful prose. An unpredictable, spellbinding story with a compelling cerebral and moral battle at its heart.  Moments of great beauty and emotion.  Even a little bit of action.
