It’s telling that the freshest portions of Noriko’s Dinner Table are the flashbacks to Sono’s previous film.

TV Guide Magazine by Ken Fox

Neither a prequel nor a sequel. Nor is it really much of a horror movie: It's a bizarre, bloody family drama that puts its predecessor into a larger social context.

Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas

Through a barrage of fragmented images of lurid events, escalating hysteria and sheer madness, Sono holds up a cracked mirror to modern life, inspiring the viewer to think with unexpected seriousness about what it means to be a human being.
