the silly skits are consistently hilarious and endlessly inventive, and beneath them lies a loneliness and sadness almost post-apocalyptic, and compassion with rare authenticity. visually the film is elegant and stunning. if only it had avoided the trap of sentimentality, it might've been a masterpiece.

Broad, episodic, slapstick comedy of a shiftless ne'er-do-well learning to care for someone other than himself; but the action grows ever more manipulative and sentimental, and is interspersed with clumsy dream sequences.

I do think Kitano has made something special with this. The problem is it's mostly in the stunning cinematography and that deadpan humor he uses so effectively - not the actual story.

Kitano stars and directs in what is apparently a departure role for him. I found this to be too slow to my liking.

Kitano at some of his most sentimental, this journey to rediscover how to connect with human beings is touching, surreal, and often hilarious. A lot of trademark Kitano throughout. While the themes and message are quite simple, Kitano uses his still, vignette style and carefully staged shots to let them unfold with great heart and humor. Sekiguchi isn't that solid of a child actor, but thankfully he doesn't have to do much but be a foil for the more experienced actors to work off of.

Heartwarming and intelligent with hilarious moments thrown in. True, Kitano carries the whole thing, but what doesn't he totally dominate?
