"While Brad Pitt's accent comes and goes, he still delivers a great lead performance in this well-crafted historical epic." - Glenn Howard, Total Film
"These kinds of fish out of water historical dramas have been done to death. Director Darren Aronofsky gives the film a unique look, but it the story ultimately doesn't add anything to the genre." - Clark Davis, JoBlo.com
"Director Darren Aronofsky, star Brad Pitt and the superb supporting cast deliver a rare historical epic film from Last Resort Films. The details and characterization in Shōgun are incredibly rich." - Lisa Winger, Newsday
