Critic Reviews

  • Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times

    Emboldened by alcohol and steeped in despair, the characters in Sugisball lunge for love but would settle for understanding.

  • Vadim Rizov, Village Voice

    The film itself is sporadically amusing and largely uneventful.

  • Avi Offer, NYC Movie Guru

    Superb cinematography and fleeting moments of poignancy bogged down by a tedious, unfocused plot that occasionally drags and feels overstuffed with too many poorly developed characters.

  • Joseph Jon Lanthier, Slant Magazine

    Despite the meandering script, Sugisball is a mildly piquant experience.
