In this exquisite merging of specific and universal, infinite and infinitesimal, Tokyo Story perhaps most clearly illuminates that Ozu is not the most Japanese of filmmakers, but the most human.
April 06, 2015
[VIDEO ESSAY] Yasujirô Ozu's beloved masterpiece of postwar Japanese cinema speaks to audiences from all backgrounds because of the cross-generational familial truths that the prolific director/co-writer lovingly metes out.
February 09, 2006
The way Ozu builds up emotional empathy for a sense of disappointment in its various characters is where his mastery lies.
September 01, 2010
Ozu has made a film as simple in form and complex in nature as life itself. Here, every viewer is cast as a tourist, and yet will feel right at home.
December 30, 2004
Ozu doesn't sentimentalize or condemn; he merely observes human nature with calm and clarity.

It ennobles the cinema. It says, yes, a movie can help us make small steps against our imperfections.
July 19, 2012
With its debt to Leo McCarey's 'Make Way for Tomorrow,' Yasujiro Ozu's 'Tokyo Story' is no less true, shattering, and not for viewers fretting about unsympathetic grown-up children.
January 05, 2010
This remains one of the most approachable and moving of all cinema's masterpieces.

Luminous in its freedom from the sentimentality or the satire that so often obscure an artist's vision of normal living.
