Tag / Hirokazu Kore-eda

Broker (2022)

  • Kore-eda, Hirokazu
  • 2022, Hirokazu Kore-eda, South Korea
  • Leave a comment

It’s more of the same from Kore-eda, but transplanted into a Korean setting, in this heartening mid-tier drama about characters trying to remain human despite not always being on the good side of the law. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Truth, The (2019)

  • Kore-eda, Hirokazu
  • 2019, France, Hirokazu Kore-eda, Japan
  • Leave a comment

Despite its seemingly modest if meta-cinematic setup, Kore-eda’s first film made in the West with big stars reveals layers of subtlety and emotions that creep up genteelly to the surface.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Shoplifters (2018)

  • Kore-eda, Hirokazu
  • 2018, Hirokazu Kore-eda, Japan
  • 3 Comments

Not his very best, but Kore-eda has an intuitive way of working with children, and this ensemble piece illustrates with delicate ease the filmmaker’s longstanding preoccupation with relational dynamics within the family unit.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • Kore-eda, Hirokazu
  • 2017, Hirokazu Kore-eda, Japan
  • 1 Comment

Kore-eda changes his own scenery with a genre film in this largely humanistic if didactic legal procedural about a murky murder.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

After the Storm (2016)

  • Kore-eda, Hirokazu
  • 2016, Hirokazu Kore-eda, Japan

Not one of the master’s finest, but Koreeda’s subtle touch continues to bring warmth and insight to the complexity of modern family relations.

Like Father, Like Son (2013)

  • Kore-eda, Hirokazu
  • 2013, Hirokazu Kore-eda, Japan
  • 7 Comments

One of the year’s very best, this new Koreeda feature is thematically dense, yet plays out in a highly resonating and honest way about human relationships.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

After Life (1998)

  • Kore-eda, Hirokazu
  • 1998, Hirokazu Kore-eda, Japan
  • 10 Comments

Kore-eda’s second fiction feature sees him take on themes of memory and the afterlife through a meta-cinematic lens.
