Reviews

Peter Debruge of Variety wrote, "If you see just one new Sion Sono movie this year (and you potentially have as many as six to choose from, considering his current rate of output), make it “Love & Peace,” the wonderfully daffy passion project it reportedly took the appallingly prolific helmer more than two decades to make [...] though “Love & Peace” is endearing in its own scrappily uneven way, he’d do well to slow things down in the future, lest he end up permanently labeled as the country’s next Takashi Miike."^[3]
