Critic Reviews

  • Tom Long, Detroit News

    Part loving postcard to Japan, part redemption story reaching across both racial and cultural divides, The Harimaya Bridge manages to lift itself out of movie-of-the-week hokeyness with sheer charm and perseverance.

  • Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

    It is a unique, complex, consciousness-raising accomplishment.

  • Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times

    Essentially, a Hallmark Hall of Fame TV movie with the picture-postcard beauty of a travelogue.

  • Tim Grierson, L.A. Weekly

    The Harimaya Bridge is a movie about racism that's pretty narrow-minded in its own thinking.
