John Petrakis, Chicago Tribune: Once again [Kurosawa] takes on a familiar genre, the murder mystery, but he imbues it with so much angst and psychological juice that it takes on a life of its own. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: Rather than resort to clever plot twists and reversals, Kurosawa constructs an elaborate psychological maze and then strands us in the middle of it. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: With its gift for infusing uneasiness into every frame, Kurosawa's moody, unnerving film continues to spook us even after the lights have gone on. Read more
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader: It's unsatisfying as a story precisely because it aspires to create a mounting sense of dread by enlarging questions rather than answering them. Read more
Ray Conlogue, Globe and Mail: Cure has a cumulative power of horror which even seasoned filmgoers will not be able to resist. Read more
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: Tough to shake even when it feels more like an exercise than a movie. Read more
Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle: It's more psychological than a genre movie, and that is the source of both its greatest interest and its biggest problem. Read more
Time Out: It's well enough acted and directed to advance Kurosawa's claim to be taken as an important new voice in Japanese cinema. Read more

J. Hoberman, Village Voice: Cure sticks with you -- it's a movie about the power of suggestion that casts a troubling spell on the viewer as well. Read more
