TOMATOMETER
4 stars out of 5 -- Oshima prods at oppositional political systems, ethics and codes of conduct....Bowie is excellent...
Uncut
4 stars out of 5 -- Tom Conti's rueful performance gives heart to an intelligent, moving study of humanity in an inhuman situation.
Total Film
...A powerful, many-sided, realistic story....Certainly very meaningful intellectually...
Variety
...Bowie's screen presence here is mercurial and arresting, and he seems to arrive at this effortlessly....Intriguing...
New York Times
A culture-clash curiosity with grace and edge...
