Rating: 3/4 --
Criticized by some as too conservative, this version, while less powerfully dramatic than Imamura's, nevertheless finds its own, different level of resonance.

TV Guide
The pace is slow and in spots monotonous and repetitious. It could have been a few notches better with a few knots less.

Shin Nichibei/New Japanese American News
4 stars out of 4 -- THE BALLAD OF NARAYAMA is a Japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice, telling a story of startling cruelty.

Sight and Sound
Rating: 3.5/4 --
a striking experimental mixture of Japanese folklore, theatrical traditions, and stunning camerawork
