  "Hashiguchi vividly captures the way young Japanese live now, chafing against their culture's manic mix of millennial brusqueness and undying, traditional politesse."
-- David Noh, FILM JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL

  "Hashiguchi uses the situation to evoke a Japan bustling atop an undercurrent of loneliness and isolation."
-- Ernest Hardy, L.A. WEEKLY

2/5  "What might've been an exhilarating exploration of an odd love triangle becomes a sprawl of uncoordinated vectors."
-- Mark Athitakis, FILMCRITIC.COM

B  "Though it breaks no new ground, it's quietly funny and moving, a welcome change of pace from the norm."
-- E! ONLINE

  "Be patient with the lovely Hush! and your reward will be a thoughtful, emotional movie experience."
-- Kim Morgan, OREGONIAN

3.5/5  "While not quite a comedy, the film tackles its relatively serious subject with an open mind and considerable good cheer, and is never less than engaging."
-- Ken Fox, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE

3/5  "Ryosuke has created a wry, winning, if languidly paced, meditation on the meaning and value of family."
-- Jason Anderson, EYE WEEKLY

4/5  "Hashiguchi covers this territory with wit and originality, suggesting that with his fourth feature -- the first to be released in the U.S. -- a major director is emerging in world cinema."
-- Kevin Thomas, LOS ANGELES TIMES

2.5/4  "Although the editing might have been tighter, Hush! sympathetically captures the often futile lifestyle of young people in modern Japan."
-- V.A. Musetto, NEW YORK POST

  "Hashiguchi ... enriches his rendition with melancholic ambivalence, sociological specificity, and a knack for delicate epiphany."
-- Dennis Lim, VILLAGE VOICE

3/5  "If the incidents are piled on one another without adding up to much, they provide telling social details."
-- Stephen Holden, NEW YORK TIMES

1/4  "Starts promisingly but disintegrates into a dreary, humorless soap opera."
-- Edward Guthmann, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

C  "A feel-good movie that doesn't give you enough to feel good about."
-- Owen Gleiberman, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
