Roger EbertChicago Sun-Times
Dolls isn't a film for everybody, especially the impatient, but Kitano does succeed, I think, in drawing us into his tempo and his world, and slowing us down into the sadness of his characters. show more

A work both rigorously stylized and deeply personal. Devotees of Kitano and Japanese cinema will admire Dolls. show more
