Critics consensus

“Deliriously manic and gleefully tasteless, Why Don't You Play in Hell? delivers infectious genre fun.”

A minor character at one point buoyantly asks, "What's 35mm?" Sono's mission is to create a film that answers this vacant, if innocent, question.

Why Don't You Play in Hell is a frenzy of joy and colour, held together by an unrelenting disinterest in narrative logic.

Alternately exhilarating and tedious, Why Don't You Play In Hell? is Sono's tribute to moviemaking.

The director, at the expense of his sanity, has completely transcended these needs and wants, attaining a higher power by way of cinema.
