“Kurosawa’s 1950 masterwork is a chilling, utterly memorable dissection of the nature of human communication.” 5/5 – The Guardian

“Till is a fierce portrait of courage and a sombre study of the human cost involved in resisting this kind of barbarity.” 4/5 – The Guardian
“Meticulous account of a 1950s racist murder.” – The Financial Times
