Top CriticWatanabe brings ferocious commitment to the sort of role that many an American awards body has been known to champion.

This would be a totally manipulative disease-of-the-week movie, were it not for Tsutsumi's gentle direction and Watanabe's intense performance.
07/15/07
The script's subtler nuances are too often drowned out by awkward histrionics.
06/08/07
Top CriticTear jerking comes with the territory, but the filmmakers generally rise above formula, particularly in its depiction of the central marriage.
06/08/07
This heartfelt tale of disintegration and acceptance, seasoned with family devotion, will both raise and soothe the anxieties of those of us who regularly ask ourselves why we came into the kitchen two minutes ago.
06/07/07
A Japanese film that draws out our respect and compassion for a man whose life is turned upside down by the early onset of Alzheimer's.
05/27/07
Veers regularly into disease-of-the-week territory but is rescued by the powerhouse performances of Ken Watanabe and Kanako Higuchi.
05/22/07
Sensitively directed by Yukihiko Tsutsumi from a well-constructed script.
05/22/07
Top CriticAn outstanding perf and a methodically constructed script about the early onset of Alzheimer's disease makes Japanese meller Memories of Tomorrow an emotionally gripping experience.
05/19/07
Top CriticOf course, it's no surprise that a melodrama would be melodramatic. But that doesn't mean it has to be graceless, and grace, that virtue most characteristic of Japanese film, is what Memories of Tomorrow completely lacks.
