Sweet Bean's deliberate pace demands patience, but the satisfying simplicity of its story -- and Kirin Kiki's absorbing performance -- yield an array of riches well worth the wait.

If it is possible to be at once clear-eyed and sentimental, Kawase achieves that in this heartbreakingly beautiful film. April 27, 2016 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Ultimately Kawase is more interested in charting emotional and sensory landscapes than in thinking through any narrative thread, yet there's something to be said for the movie's sincerity and simple beauty. April 7, 2016 | Full Review…

With An, director Kawase Naomi has managed to make a stellar bittersweet film. She could have made it a sugary pancake, but some of its stuffing caught me by surprise, and the film as a whole is a dish I very much recommend. January 9, 2020 | Full Review…

Although "Sweet Bean" does not succeed fully in examining the issues it presents, it is, nevertheless, a film of extreme beauty, which will definitely entice the audience senses, and particularly the appetite. April 6, 2019 | Full Review…

Soft, gentle, and kind ... until it knocks you down on the ground and guts you like a fish. Despite what some may say, "Sweet Bean" is far from saccharine schlock. October 24, 2018 | Full Review…
