Critic Reviews

Ernest Hardy

Exchanges overheard in bars, crisp dialogue between characters and a wistful tone underscore both modern isolation and the age-old need for connection. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

Most important, Hush! is like Chinese director Stanley Kwan's recent "Lan Yu" in that a gay romance becomes but a starting point for an all-encompassing view of human behavior. Read full review

Dennis Lim

Japanese director Ryosuke Hashiguchi ("Like Grains of Sand") enriches his rendition with melancholic ambivalence, sociological specificity, and a knack for delicate epiphany. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

Overlong but telling look at three young misfits. Read full review

Stephen Holden

Rambling, occasionally very funny reflection on the meaning of family in contemporary Japan. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

Though the director takes a thoughtful approach to the material, mixing humor and poignancy, he undercuts our sympathy considerably by dragging things out to an inexplicably indulgent degree. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

A feel-good movie that doesn't give you enough to feel good about. Read full review
