Comment

Formally assured (the long driving scene near the end is quite masterly) and acted with conviction,
this is a remarkable debut -By TONY RAYNS (in VIFF)

the Cassavetes film that Ikawa's most recalls isn't "Husbands," but his own 1959 debut, "Shadows."
...Ikawa's name will be established as one to watch - Variety By ROBERT KOEHLER

Ikawa has made a very attractive and admirable debut - By GjZ (in IFFR)
