This movie has it all. It had me laughing, crying, shocked, upset, and enthralled. To bounce from hard hitting emotional scenes to incredibly jarring and crazy action scenes and have it effortlessly flow is extremely difficult, yet Yamazaki did it...

4/5

Godzilla: Minus One succeeds as both a powerful post-WWII drama about bringing people together to overcome adversity in the face of impossible odds, and as a suspenseful, thoughtful Kaiju creature feature.
