It gives one more of a sense of modern Japanese life than anything I've seen, and it might have been really good had half an hour of repetitions and underlining been cut.

Esquire Magazine
Kurosawa performs a tour-de-force in keeping a dramatic thread throughout and avoiding the mawkish.

Variety
Kurosawa achieves the piercing emotion and poetry of the Italian neorealists, but by opposite means: he doesn't make the camera disappear; instead... he deploys his camera so sharply and unerringly that it seems to take X-rays of the spirit.
New Yorker
A masterwork of burning social conscience and hard-eyed psychological realism.

Rating: 5/5 --
Nelson Henderson famously said "the true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit." Kurosawa bathes us in the light of a man who gets to not only plant the seed, but look out on the sapling, with contentment.
