It has been directed by Kei Kumai as a film that seems more melodramatic and sentimental than Kurosawa's norm. Oct 24, 2003 | Rating: 2.5/4

Filled with love and melancholy, it's a fitting, fond epilogue to [Kurosawa]. Oct 23, 2003 | Rating: 3.5/4

I don't think I'm going too far out on a limb by saying the Sea that Kurosawa must have envisioned had to be a whole lot more compelling and focused than the one now delivered by veteran director Kei Kumai. Jul 25, 2003 | Rating: 2/4

[T]here were times when The Sea is Watching bored me. But Kumai and Kurosawa won me back with the final scenes, which are stark and beautiful, and a fitting finale for one of the world's great filmmakers. Jul 22, 2003 | Rating: 3/4

sad and compelling, yet laced with an underlying message of dignity and hope. Perhaps Kumai is no Kurosawa - but I don't know if Kurosawa could have done it much better. Jun 7, 2004 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review…

It's not only worth seeing as "Kurosawa's last story," but also simply as a good, solid drama. Nov 19, 2003 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

While this material isn't necessarily up to the standards of Kurosawa's best work, it does warrant at least a look. Oct 10, 2003 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Those who delight in small-scale virtues may find their interest held by the meticulous detail that Kumai lavishes on various Japanese rituals -- everything from pouring tea to holding swords. Everyone else, however, need not check in. Jul 22, 2003 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…
