2021 Cannes Film Festival – Un Certain Regard – Opening Film

“A really well-made, old-fashioned anti-war epic in a forthright and robustly enjoyable style…I can imagine David Lean or Steven Spielberg making this”
4 Stars – The Observer
“a captivating tragicomedy, a sharp-eyed study of zealotry and self-delusion, ridiculous and heartbreaking in about equal measure”
4 Stars – Little White Lies
“Harari’s film is a practical, simple and saddening document of everyday madness.”

From the mind of Makoto Ueda & Europe-Kikaku, the creators of Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes

"Easily the funniest Japanese film I have seen all year…at once a fresh and familiar take on the time travel genre." – Far East Films
"Half send-up, half homage, Summer Time Machine Blues is a matchless delight, as it gently pokes fun at the subgenre of time travel movies, while at the same time delivering probably one of the better sci-fi stories in the last few years. It's certainly the funniest." – LoveHKFilm.com
