Critic Reviews

The film, winsome and tragic at once and finely attuned to the rhythms of childhood, always seems quite close to real life.Full Review

Carla Meyer
San Francisco Chronicle

[The children's] remarkable lack of self-consciousness ... and Kore-eda's quasi-documentary style give this movie a stunning credibility.Full Review

Yagira's performance is so extraordinary, it won him the best actor prize at the 2004 Cannes film festival.Full Review

Entertainment Weekly

The kids in Nobody Knows are most decidedly not crazy, and we come to care for them to an almost excruciating degree.Full Review

Ann Hornaday
Washington Post

Not for the faint of heart, though it has no scenes of overt violence, and barely a tear is shed. It is also strangely thrilling, not only because of the quiet assurance of Mr. Kore-eda's direction, but also because of his alert, humane sense of sympathy.Full Review
