Asako I & II's high-concept premise is anchored by thought-provoking themes and confident, compelling work from director Ryusuke Hamaguchi.
The movie doesn't seem to be playing near you.

Hamaguchi keeps us guessing as to whether the characters' longings are innate or instilled by something beyond them and us. Jun 6, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

There's just not a lot going on underneath the surfaces of these characters' sensitive, precise, and modestly expressed feelings. May 17, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

"Asako" proceeds from a premise that flirts with the mystic, but Hamaguchi executes it with elegantly rendered realism... The result is a picture that is simultaneously engaging and disconcerting. May 16, 2019 | Full Review…

This is a film that, through its deceptively mellow means, manages to plumb the depths of what it truly means to love amid the uncertainties of self, others, and everything else besides. May 14, 2019 | Rating: A- | Full Review…

There are moments of real beauty in the film, which is an unassuming and contemplative excursion into how we love, and why. But like the fireworks that greet Asako and Baku's first kiss, its pop is a modest one. Oct 9, 2018 | Full Review…

It seems to be a conventional and light comedy at first, but Asako 1 & 2 shows an ingenious study about the vanity of human passions. [Full Review in Spanish] Jun 12, 2019 | Full Review…

This bittersweet Japanese oddity doesn't quite work as a romantic melodrama but succeeds in illuminating anxiety-ridden millennial generation. May 29, 2019 | Full Review…

The story remains fairly banal, and neither the direction nor performances lift it above. May 21, 2019 | Full Review…

Asako I & II is an easygoing movie, at least if the film's exterior is taken at its words. Under the hood, it's roiling. May 20, 2019 | Rating: 8.4/10 | Full Review…
