Critic Reviews of "Emperor"
Time OutOctober 01, 2013It's all done with care and authentic Japanese locations ... But there's scant drama.
Globe and MailMarch 29, 2013A stodgy movie that mixes dubious history with a clichéd, Madame Butterfly romance story, set in the period immediately following Japan's surrender in 1945.
Toronto StarMarch 28, 2013Emperor falls prey to the temptations endemic to historical docudrama: the desire to pack a miniseries' worth of events into one feature-length film, with romance tossed in for added appeal.
AV ClubMarch 14, 2013Offers a labored treatise on the Japanese national character, with endless speeches about honor, devotion, loyalty, and the people's reverence for their emperor as a human deity.
Newark Star-LedgerMarch 08, 2013Just a dull procedural, with the bland Matthew Fox driving around in a jeep and asking questions and not having them answered.
Epoch TimesJune 20, 2016Imagine if POTUS was considered by U.S. citizenry to be a living god. Japanese emperors were. Does one then hang a living god as a war criminal? A riveting period portrayal.
Shadows on the WallOctober 11, 2013The little-known historical events provide a pointed exploration of a momentous collision of two cultures.
Irish TimesOctober 11, 2013Emperor will do well enough. But if you want a more nuanced take on the same events, check out Alexander Sokurov's extraordinary The Sun
Total FilmOctober 07, 2013Fun when Jones is around, dull when he's not, it's all just a little bit of history repeating.
Observer (UK)October 06, 2013Hokey monologues about the finger of historical blame are interspersed with perfume-ad flashbacks to idyllic days of love; you half expect Andrew Lloyd Webber to descend from on high to provide a few touching show tunes.
Birmingham MailOctober 04, 2013The climax, when MacArthur finally meets Hirohito, is fascinating - and validated by the end-credit, picture-led round-up of what happened to the leading characters.
