What drives [director Stephen] Kijak's film, and adds a universal dimension to a singular band's narrative, is the drama inherent in a group of strong personalities who live for music attempting to create and perform it together.

Pitchfork
Rating: B --
Much of the film's success comes from the editing of Mako Kamitsuna and John Maringouin who corral a barrage of archival footage, talking heads, observation, and performance into a compelling exploration of one of the world's great rock phenomenons.

The Film Experience
Rating: 3/5 --
Good anecdotes - but the film's willingness to indulge the band's rampant self-mythologising can get tiresome.

Time Out
3 stars out of 5 -- There’s quite a lot of adolescent-angst talk of death and blood, but some real pathos under the surface shimmer: particularly with drummer Yoshiki, the film’s main focus...
The Guardian
Rating: 3/5 --
Watchable and interesting - if a tad worshipful ...

Guardian
This fascinating and assured documentary, directed by Stephen Kijak, tells the story of the group X Japan, a cultural institution in its native country, framed around the group’s 2014 reunion concert at Madison Square Garden.
New York Times
A maddeningly vague primer.
