It’s a dreamy, unexpectedly rigorous debut that starts frustratingly slowly but ends with an emotional bang.
Odagiri doesn’t give us many answers. They Say Nothing Stays the Same is enigmatic and, in some ways, frustratingly elusive, yet also affecting.
The New York Times by Nicolas Rapold
The landscape can go only so far in expressing Toichi’s mind-set, and the movie turns hokey when it dramatizes Toichi’s inner thoughts.
They Say Nothing Stays the Same is a melodramatic, stately and beautiful Japanese period piece.
