Accomplished and moodily atmospheric, if somewhat bleak and lacking in the emphatic pay off that a fable of this kind tends to require.

The staid tone can feel monotonous after a certain point, even if the performances are solid, and Mountain Woman never picks up the pace or mood enough to break from its shell of strife and persecution.

Yamada’s performance, her strength is what powers Mountain Woman and makes it a film worth watching.
