Minamata

"Heart-felt and impassioned..."

"It's well paced, beautifully filmed... but it still lacks that spark to propel it from informative to all-consuming."

"The problems are of style, focus and intent."

"Even the occasional poignant observation can’t salvage a movie trying this hard to tug every heartstring at its disposal."

"Altogether solemn in tone, the film is undeniably handsome..."

"A mass of groan-worthy genre clichés that ill-serve the truth they are trying to recreate."

"A forthright, heartfelt movie, an old-fashioned “issue picture” with a worthwhile story to tell..."

"Depp plays it surly throughout, dominating those around him, but Minami has a strong screen presence as well."
