The best office comedy since Office Space.
August 5, 2005 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review… -
One of the screen's most cuttingly funny looks at office life.

... subtly sexual and erotic, despite the fact that every scene takes place in the office and there is not a single overt sexual act or word or gesture or reference.

The film is more ambiguous about its characters' desire than it needs to be.
May 20, 2005 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review… -
The delicacy of the film comes from the fine performances, particularly Kaori Tsuji as Fubuki.

Audience Reviews for Fear and Trembling
-
Dec 28, 2007A funny if unoriginal look at cultural divides. Sometimes the morals are hammered home too blatantly but overall a warm feeling of genuine likeability eminates from the film. Brilliant performances and some wonderfully scripted scenes make this a fine film, even if the containment within the office place hinders the film in terms of characterisation.Luke B Super Reviewer
