Clarence Tsui The Hollywood Reporter Jun 20, 2018
Birds Without Names is littered with belligerent relationships, beautiful scoundrels and bad sex. What makes the film stand out from the crowd, however, is actress Yu Aoi's against-type performance. Go to Full Review
Pieter-Jan Van Haecke Psychocinematography Jan 26, 2023
Bird Without Names is an amazing romance-drama narrative. It is due to its effective narrative structure and the amazing acting-performances by Sadao Abe and Yu Aoi. Go to Full Review
Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse Dec 1, 2019
Although ailed by the common faults of recent Japanese movies (including a somewhat far-fetched script), "Birds Without Names" includes more than enough elements to erase any negative aspects Go to Full Review

4/5
Birds Without Names is a great piece of work from director Kazuya Shiraishi, that not only succeeds as a great romantic drama but as an actors showcase for all involved, especially Yu Aoi, who gives her best performance yet. Go to Full Review
James Marsh South China Morning Post Jun 10, 2018
3/5
The film presents a boldly nihilistic world view without anyone to root for, yet it does so with impressive craft and commitment. Go to Full Review
Kaori Shoji Japan Times Oct 26, 2017
4/5
Aoi is impressive as the poisonous Towako but it's Abe who pulls the story along with his small frame and dog-like abjection. The content may be objectionable, but the performances are strong. Go to Full Review

Anakin W Nov 5, 2017 Heroine is not especially likeable as she goes through life making people as miserable as she is and falling for unsuitable men despite having a loyal, if uncouth, boyfriend. I saw this as part of the Japanese film festival and very much enjoyed it. See more
