TOMATOMETER
Kurosawa and his co-screenwriters Ryusuke Hamaguchi and Tadashi Nohara cleverly incorporate movie-making into the plot, confusing the viewer about what is reality and what is fiction.
Hollywood Reporter
Soon into its machinations, WIFE OF A SPY begins to thrum with unusual intensity.
New York Times
Kurosawa sacrifices some conventional edge-of-the-seat genre elements, making a somber, slow-paced drama about a seemingly happy married couple whose bond gets strained as they find themselves involved in international espionage.
A.V. Club
WIFE OF A SPY unmasks itself as one of his most purely enjoyable, internationally accessible entertainments.
Variety
Kurosawa typically focuses on sustaining a mood of disquiet, which goes a long way in this otherwise tidy melodrama...
