Critic Reviews

Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter
Energy and comedy are in large supply in writer-director Mitsuo Yanagimachi's Who's Camus Anyway?, yet another riff on the levels of reality that occur when a cast and crew make a movie.
-
Doug Cummings, Filmjourney
While it's chock full of film references, colorful characters, and social eccentricities, its true sophistication emerges gradually, posing complex questions about the roles of fantasy, identity, and volition in modern life.
-
John A. Nesbit, Old School Reviews
Yanagimachi's inventive film about a collegiate film school project contains tangled webs of melodramatic fun along with moments of self-reflection
-
Leo Goldsmith, Not Coming to a Theater Near You
The Japanese propensity for faithful imitation is the focus of Yanagimachi's film, and, most of all, the imitation of life through the cinema.
-
Brandon Judell, New York Theatre Wire
Imagine stapling a Hitchcock coda to "Deuce Bigalow, Male Gigolo," and you're halfway there.
