Critic Reviews

Richard Eder, New York Times
The episodes in this second part go on endlessly, loosely, obviously. They lack the revelations of the winter scenes and they do little but belabor at length the points already made. They wreck the film's balance and make its achievements dull.

Douglas Pratt, DVDLaser
a gorgeous looking and highly affecting adventure

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
It's sweetly told and heartwarming, much like a Disney film, but not demanding much of the viewer.

Steven D. Greydanus, Decent Films Guide
To Arseniev, Dersu embodies something civilized men have lost Neither can really understand the other which is precisely what makes their friendship so special.
-
Brian Gibson, Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada)
Every frame of Dersu Uzala is simply beautiful to look at. . . . Kurosawa's 140-minute masterpiece is a . . . quietly captivating experience.
