Critics Consensus

Harmonium's simple setup lays brilliantly effective groundwork for a well-constructed, powerfully acted look at truth and consequences.

4/5

Is there anything more gratifying than a sweepingly downcast story told in a uniquely exhilarating manner?

Tadanobu Asano, who plays the ex-con, has rarely been better, and Kanji Furutachi and Mariko Tsutsui are heartbreaking as the husband and wife.

The spare, humanist influence of Ozu is plain to see here, but Fukada's tone is all his own, simultaneously shot through with violence and compassion.

It’s the demons within that Kôji Fukada astutely brings to life in ‘Harmonium.

"Harmonium" is another great piece of Japanese cinema, and the Jury Prize it received from the Un Certain Regard section at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, well reserved.

Well deserved 100% ratings. Kôji Fukada and Tadanobu Asano at their Best. Not to be missed.
