CRITICS OF "The Bad Sleep Well"

James Kendrick

Despite having been made more than 45 years ago and in a postwar Japanese setting, in the age of Enron, it may be more relevant than ever.

March 18, 2006

Resource

Tom Milne

Kurosawa rather loaded the film on the side of social significance, while neglecting to capitalise on the noir aspects that underlie it. Even so, his use of the 'scope screen is masterly.

January 26, 2006

Armond White

The Bad Sleep Well's ground-breaking concept shows Kurosawa's uncompromised ambition.

January 20, 2010

Resource

Louis Proyect

A powerful tale of a son seeking to avenge his father in a world of corporate malfeasance with Hamlet-like dimensions.

April 27, 2010

Dennis Schwartz

There just seemed to be a missing ingredient to raise this intense psychological drama to the level of a Rashomon.

July 24, 2006

Resource

Douglas Pratt

t is almost an anti-thriller, but viewers who are willing to steep themselves in the intricacies of Japanese ceremonies and the banal details of evil will find the experience highly rewarding.

June 19, 2008

Nick Schager

A freestyle homage to Hamlet that does away with the costumed faithfulness of Kurosawa's other Shakespeare adaptations.

Michael E. Grost

Uneven thriller about taking down corporate criminals has great opening scene.

December 03, 2016

Ed Park

Opening with a bravura wedding sequence and ending with a sycophantic bow to a replaced telephone receiver, the film has its longueurs, but Mifune's buttoned-down avenger is a compelling portrait of righteous obsession foundering on unpredictable reality.

June 19, 2008

Resource

Bosley Crowther

This is a powerful and interesting picture that Kurosawa has made -- a bit tedious and mawkish in the last reels, but exciting enough along the way to satisfy audiences that know the subject.

May 10, 2005

Dave Kehr

A well-done thriller with Kurosawa's usual social overtones.
