100The movie's underlying theme is the complex relationship between objects and memories, worked out through a taut, compelling story and superbly understated acting. Ryuichi Sakamoto composed the atmospheric score.

90Movies can't exactly replicate the feeling of reading a book, but Jun Ichikawa's adaptation of Haruki Murakami's short story Tony Takitani comes remarkably close.

100No adventurous filmgoer will want to miss Tony Takitani.

A visual poem.

88It's a film for specialized tastes, quiet, delicate. But it suits those tastes beautifully.
-
100It's a quiet dream of a movie, a vision of loneliness giving way to love, then to loneliness again; it's like "Vertigo" remade in a sedately haunted style of Japanese lyricism.
-
91A haunting, melancholy fable, Tony Takitani is the kind of film that could seem tedious from a mere description. Approached with the right mind-set, however, it's a hypnotic mood piece on love and loss, one that knows -- at 75 minutes -- not to overstay its welcome.
-
100An exquisite film, as elegant and precise as an impeccably cut diamond. It's small in scale but wholly mesmerizing, holding us captive as it demonstrates how much enveloping richness can be conveyed with a minimalist style.
-
90The hues are so muted you may remember this as a black-and-white film, but its emotions are as vivid as primary colors.

MartinS.4The very definition of meandering. The writer ran out of material 5 minutes into the movie. A terrible dissapointment.
