	Author	Review
United States	Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter	"A refreshingly unbiased look at a real heroine."	POS
United States	Lisa Kennedy Variety	"Deceptively delicate and quietly tough (...) Well-paced, artfully shot and edited, '37 Seconds' mixes anime and illustration with live-action to tell the story of the 23-year-old aspiring artist seeking liberation.	POS
United States	John Serba Decider	"A winning character study about a woman coming of age way later than she probably should."	POS
Canada	Barry Hertz The Globe and Mail	"Hikari’s work is well-meaning (...) Eventually, though, the film loses confidence in itself, overloading its last third with needless family-secret twists (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Kimber Myers Los Angeles Times	"[It] offers a rare, authentic view into life with cerebral palsy"	POS
Canada	Glenn Sumi Now Toronto	"An insightful and moving look at a young disabled artist's coming of age (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut	"A heartwarming crowd-pleaser about a young Japanese woman with cerebral palsy which builds to an unconvincing — albeit touching — climax (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	David Nusair Reel Film	"A heartwarming, special little movie (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
