Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Kevin M. Williams, Chicago Tribune: It's animated, but it's human and will touch the soul of anyone who has loved deeply. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: To watch Millennium Actress' is to witness one cinematic medium celebrating another, an expression of movie love that is wonderfully eccentric and deeply affecting. Read more
Tasha Robinson, AV Club: Millennium Actress is a visual feast, but also a mental gymnastics routine. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: The movie's narrative can be taxingly ornate, but there's something beautiful about its metaphorical conflation of politics and glamour, the real and the fictional. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: As a piece of visual legerdemain as well as a rumination on the place movies have in our personal and collective subconscious, Millennium Actress fascinatingly goes where films have not often gone before. Read more
Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail: Frequently a stone bore. Read more
Jane Sumner, Dallas Morning News: Anime has never been my cup of oolong. Or it wasn't until Satoshi Kon's bold, time-traveling sophomore feature, Millennium Actress. Read more
David Chute, L.A. Weekly: Satoshi innovates not by pushing off into more extreme realms of adolescent fantasy, but by using all the resources of animation to tell complex dramatic stories, resources that in his hands seem almost limitless. Read more
Jan Stuart, Newsday: A complex narrative strategy is muddied by emotionally stunted characters in this ambitious and visually sophisticated Japanese anime. Read more
Bob Campbell, Newark Star-Ledger: This is a screen trip that actually takes you someplace -- out of the world, around the world and straight to the heart of the world. Read more
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: This somewhat surreal anime import is unlikely to earn the same mainstream recognition as last year's Spirited Away, but it's certainly worth a look. Read more
G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle: It is a lovely Valentine to the golden age of Japanese filmmaking and an era of gentler, deeper feelings. Read more
Daphne Gordon, Toronto Star: Disguises itself as a romance, but it's really a loving homage to Japanese history, as well as a comment on the nature of filmmaking and films. Read more
