Ume (Kyoko Kishida) and Kame (Kazuko Yoshiyuki) troll the streets in search of cast-off treasures, and upon finding multiple balls of red wool the sisters eagerly add them to their collection. Though their latest acquisition seems to be one worth celebrating, their happiness over the find is soon offset by the arrival of a disturbed young woman (Ayu Kitaura) determined to kit the perfect red sweater. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

V.A. Musetto, New York Post
If Tim Burton were to go to Japan to make a movie about two elderly sisters living in a house filled with junk, and a girl who invades their lives and spends day and night knitting a red sweater, it would be something like Wool 100%.
-
Matt Zoller Seitz, New York Times
Wild yet gentle, the fantasy film Wool 100% is a playful contraption illustrating the kinship between movies, fairy tales and dreams.

Bill Gibron, Filmcritic.com
an astonishing achievement

David Cornelius, eFilmCritic.com
Wool 100% is as mysterious as its title, and as confusing, and as wondrous.
