Critic Reviews
-
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Decidedly uneven yet intriguing.
-
V.A. Musetto, New York Post
A dirty old man's delight.
-
Dana Stevens, New York Times
Shoujyo: An Adolescent seems to be several movies at once: a hard-boiled detective story, a Lolita-style intergenerational romance and a family psychodrama complete with pat Freudian flashbacks.
-
G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle
Director and star Eiji Okuda has created almost a gentle story, with definite humanity behind its intent.
-
Drew Tillman, Village Voice
Although the movie drags, Okuda (who also directed) makes for a gloriously bad lieutenant, while Ozawa is enjoyably discomfiting in her unblushing carnality.
