	Author	Review
United States	Russ Fischer IndieWire	"Even a passive comparison of Tarantino’s work and the first 'Lady Snowblood' film betrays that it had a significant effect on the filmmaker."	POS
United Kingdom	Time Out	"The story is simple but the imagery more than compensates (...) this is beautifully controlled, almost sedate action cinema."	POS
United States	Katie Rife AV Club	"A pulpy, violent tale of revenge based on a comic serialized in a popular Playboy-esque men’s magazine, Lady Snowblood didn’t have to be art. But director Toshiya Fujita treated it as such"	POS
United States	Jake Cole Slant	"A rape-revenge narrative so streamlined that even the gimmick of its achronological editing never muddies the progression of Yuki’s journey."	POS
