A Samurai in Time isn’t just having fun with fake swords and chonmage wigs, as it also provides a lot of gentle reflections about history, modernity, and our place in it all.

A Samurai In Time is a beautiful and genuinely endearing love-letter to the chanbara genre.

Yasuda knows that he has something special in his hands, not only as a love letter to the jidaigeki but also as a deeply heartfelt examination of what happens when time is taken away from you and how one begins to find oneself again.

Despite... being a little distended in runtime, A Samurai in Time ends beautifully, guided to a safe landing by Yasuda, who capably balances genres and references with considerable amiability and skill.
