The Third Murder's reviews
Media reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
A complex and engrossing examination of truth.
The Guardian
'The Third Murder' is a captivating puzzle.
Screen Daily
Kore-Eda, writer, director and editor, an auteur in the full sense of the word, tunes his approach to the genre, but only up to a certain point.
Indiewire
'The Third Murder' finds Hirokazu Kore-eda abandoning the warmth of his recent family dramas (?Still Walking,? ?After the Storm?) in favor of an ice-cold legal thriller that pedagogically dismantles the death penalty.
El Mundo
Despite of the premiosity and even confusion of the first two acts, the movie is solved in a last section definitely masterful, touching and subjugating.
Roger Ebert
There?s still enough moral complexity at play to keep the film interesting, but this is minor Kore-eda.
