"Tokyo Rose is not the most exciting film in the world, but it tells a compelling true life story in a completely competent fashion." - Richard Park, Globe and Mail

"Sonoya Mizuno is given her biggest role to date and she mostly rises to the occasion. With Steven Spielberg behind the scenes, Cary Fukunaga behind the camera, and Chad Taylor writing the story, it's hard to go wrong - even if it isn't a masterpiece." - Henry Stewart, Chicago Sun-Times

"The film does not have the scale or scope one expects from a Steven Spielberg-produced WWII film. Sonoya Mizuno has done good work in the past, but with the tricky role she has in this one her acting talents are pushed to their limits. It's not a terrible film, but it was definitely under-whelming given the subject and crew." - Justin Rodriguez, Detroit Free Press

Rated PG-13 for thematic elements and some language
