	Author	Review
United States	Richard Kuipers Variety	"[It] hits the sweet spot where grindhouse meets arthouse (...) Performances are uniformly energetic and effective from a vibrant cast"	POS
United States	Kevin Jagernauth IndieWire	"Sono is investigating a variety of cinematic languages at the moment, and in that sense, 'Tag' is somewhat primitive on the surface (...) but with some serious smarts the deeper you look"	NEU
Japan	Mark Schilling The Japan Times	"The film goes beyond standard run-for-your life thrills to a mind-bending questioning of identity (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS

Canada	Andrew Mack Screen Anarchy	"If intended as satire, 'Tag' is hamstrung by Sono's own well developed tendencies towards fetishizing women (...) Disappointing"	NEG
