Kore-eda is too polished a filmmaker for "The Third Murder" not to be of interest, but its focus is finally too fuzzy to compel the way the best of the director's work does. August 2, 2018 | Full Review…

"The Third Murder" is still a great film and a nice change of pace for the Japanese filmmaker, and at the same time, a much more approachable spectacle, which will definitely be more appealing to occidental audiences, even fans of the mainstream. November 30, 2019 | Full Review…

The Third Murder is shot mostly through panes of prison glass. In tackling the weighty subject of Japan's death penalty, the director imbues his meditative mystery with a distinctly icy chill. July 22, 2019 | Full Review…

This is a handsomely made, well-acted entry in the legal procedural genre, which, despite its references to Japanese criminal law, should be accessible to most viewers. March 25, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
