Critic Reviews

Roger Ebert

The first movie I’ve seen about the disease that is told from the sick person’s point of view, not that of family members. The director, Yukihiko Tsutsumi, often uses a subjective camera to show the commonplace world melting into bewildering patterns and meanings. Read full review

Frank Scheck

What distinguishes it are its intelligent, unsentimental screenplay, which only occasionally lapses into emotional manipulation; the assured direction by Yukihiko Tsutsumi; and the superb acting. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

As the wife, pixie-ish Kanako Higuchi provides the perfect accompaniment to Watanabe. Read full review

Ella Taylor

This heartfelt tale of disintegration and acceptance, seasoned with family devotion, will both raise and soothe the anxieties of those of us who regularly ask ourselves why we came into the kitchen two minutes ago. Read full review

Jeannette Catsoulis

Memories of Tomorrow finally understands that the real victim of this terrible affliction is the partner left behind. Read full review

Michael Phillips

By the time Watanabe encounters a holy senile fool in the forest, the film has foregone contemporary urban “King Lear” territory for something a lot closer to the Lifetime Channel. Read full review

Charles Petersen

Of course, it's no surprise that a melodrama would be melodramatic. But that doesn't mean it has to be graceless--as "Away From Her" shows--and grace, that virtue most characteristic of Japanese film, is what Memories of Tomorrow completely lacks. Read full review
