cute and funny movie but the pedophilia scene was a killer.

Haven't watched this in far too long. Funny, thoughtful, bizarre and touching, a great movie.

A more appropriate title would have been Masao no Natsu. Still, to me, it's Takeshi best feature so far.

a genuinely sweet movie with the typically hilarious Kitano comedic touch.

A truly marvelous film. Every scene is lovingly crafted and subtly portrayed. Kitano is a master storyteller of the methodical nature of Japanese culture.

After learning that Kitano's father's name was Kikujiro, the movie suddenly meant a lot more to me.

There had been a statement somewhere that Beat was coherst into making this film in order to get his name back in the good graces of his audience after years of making more violent films. It had been nearly a decade since his comedic films, then he was in a horrible motorcycle accident. This film may have been the pentacle return to his gentler side.

The best film he's ever made.

Very humourous and a bit sad. You can see that Kitano himself is having a great time in some of the shots, and I actually got the feeling he was truly laughing sometimes during a scene, not as a character on the film but as the director. It's a nice movie to watch.

The thing I hate the most about this movie is that Kikujiro's Summer had to end. grrrrrah! ....sigh...

I keep on thinking Beat should not be in this movie, it robs the brilliant child actor's empathetic performance. Could have been a touching and sad story. But with Takeshi in the film, I am constantly being reminded this is only a film. Not saying he is a lousy actor but sometimes, one got to let go.......
