Decidedly uneven yet intriguing.

Top CriticThe film is perhaps best thought of as part cultural curiosity, part obscurantist’s delight.

You could be forgiven for missing the thematic underpinnings amidst the long, fetishized sex scenes.

A dirty old man's delight.

Top CriticShoujyo: An Adolescent seems to be several movies at once: a hard-boiled detective story, a Lolita-style intergenerational romance and a family psychodrama complete with pat Freudian flashbacks.

Top CriticDirector and star Eiji Okuda has created almost a gentle story, with definite humanity behind its intent.

Top CriticAlthough the movie drags, Okuda (who also directed) makes for a gloriously bad lieutenant, while Ozawa is enjoyably discomfiting in her unblushing carnality.
