      100% Tomatometer 10 Reviews A remarkable sophomore feature from one of today's preeminent auteurs. Ryusuke Hamaguchi's PASSION, his thesis project at Tokyo University of the Arts, lays the thematic foundations for what would become his internationally renowned body of work. Already trading in his recurrent themes of contemporary alienation and unrequited desire and catalyzing what would become lasting collaborations with actors such as Fusako Urabe, (WHEEL OF FORTUNE AND FANTASY) PASSION exemplifies the wellspring of Hamaguchi's rich and nuanced vivisection of relationships in the 21st century. Following a couple, Kaho (Aoba Kawai, also of WHEEL OF FORTUNE AND FANTASY) and Tomoya (Ryuta Okamoto), whose engagement announcement among friends reveals a prior infidelity, Hamaguchi infuses the pairs subsequent reckoning and devolution with characteristic emotional clarity that culminates in a devastating finale.

      Namrata Joshi The New Indian Express Passion ultimately is like an enquiry that brings a specific movement in relationships to a conclusion at a given juncture, but hints at things still being in a circular formation—being, becoming, unravelling, and collapsing to start all over again. Jun 8, 2023 Full Review Austin Considine New York Times “Passion” has a low-fi, hangout feel, flush with the youthful indie energy and forgivable pretensions of an artist who believes that filmmaking matters. Hamaguchi is still a student but already finding his voice. Apr 13, 2023 Full Review Chuck Bowen Slant Magazine Passion already finds Hamaguchi Ryûsuke to be a superb orchestrator of moods and tones. Rated: 3/4 Apr 9, 2023 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Gender stereotypes, acknowledgement of self-worth, and resistance to the demands of adulthood are some of the issues examined in this thoughtful drama. Rated: 3/4 Nov 19, 2023 Full Review Kathy Fennessy Video Librarian Magazine For all its imperfections...the film is remarkably self-assured for a thesis project. Over the next decade, Ryûsuke Hamaguchi would make great strides, but Passion proves he was a gifted filmmaker right from the start. Rated: 3/5 Nov 11, 2023 Full Review Diane Carson KDHX (St. Louis) Throughout the film’s two hours running time, these twenty-year-olds grapple with contradictory emotions as they vacillate between an external persona designed to protect themselves and an internal one of insecurities and emotional need.
