The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
It's potent stuff, delving into pornography, incest, murder and mutilation in the company of alienated men and unhappy, sometimes cruel women.

Total Film
A touching tribute interweaves with tough storytelling.

Village Voice
If the structure sometimes disrupts the story of his life, the strong lines and melancholy sensibility of the illustration form an anchor that keep the power of Tatsumi's work firmly in view.

Empire by David Hughes
A eye-popping visual treat and a journey into the creative spirit.

The Guardian by Peter Bradshaw
The slightly slushy tone of celebration rather obtusely fails to engage with the nihilist, pessimist nature of Tatsumi's work. Anyway, an intriguing event.
