The example set by Ozu's best works goes unheeded as the film becomes too cutesy and forced to be moving.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
April 02, 2009
A uniquely poignant meditation on mortality.
April 09, 2009
It's a quiet, very beautiful film about the duality of love and death.
March 02, 2009
If you have ever seen Yasujiro Ozu's masterpiece Tokyo Story -- one of the greatest films ever made -- you may respond to Doris Dörrie's Cherry Blossoms, which is a kind of homage.
April 22, 2009
A bare reading of the plot doesn't actually do justice to the subtle beauty of this exquisite little film.
October 11, 2015
I am in favor of films remaining enigmatic or having an air of mystery about them, but Cherry Blossoms crosses the line into aimlessness.
July 30, 2015
This may lack the understated pathos of Ozu's somber masterpiece, but it's still a moving meditation on aging and loss, and Wepper and Elsner are unforgettable.
March 06, 2009
It's a gentle lesson in facing life's hardships with acceptance rather than grief.
April 23, 2009
I can appreciate Dörrie's craft, and her sincerity, but the two-hour story of Rudi's evolution, which includes his unlikely friendship with a tiresome white-faced butoh performer (Aya Irizuki), meant nothing to me.
March 20, 2009
The movie is an ideal blend of character study, deceptively simple plot twists, inspired acting, and travelogue.
July 07, 2010
Is it all a bit precious and far-fetched? Sure, but so, the filmmaker is saying, is life.
Seattle Times

A quiet, moving tale of love and loss.
