青山真治
Jamie Russell of BBC gave the film 4 out of 5 stars, writing, "Shinji Aoyama expertly creates tension out of nothing, building upon his slightly off-kilter set-up with a series of languorous long takes that emphasise the film's disturbing stretches of stillness." Michael Wilmington of "Chicago Tribune" gave the film 3 out of 4 stars, stating that "its vision is unique and harrowing, its song hits to the heart." Amy Taubin of "The Village Voice" wrote, "What's so extraordinary about "Eureka" is that it makes one believe that intimate human connections are possible, that empathy is worth struggling for, and that propriety and hipster cynicism alike must fall by the wayside en route to unconditional love."
