Review from RamenLover (Asianmediawiki):
" "Josee, The Tiger, & Fish" is made more from the heart specifically for the regular folks and it is just brilliant. None of the wishy-washy Hollywood fairy tale endings in this one, but don't take this film to be an utterly depressing film. It's not. It reflects perfectly how the average person may respond to someone with a disability and regardless of how you feel towards their actions his actions strikes a nerve.
Beyond the story, you also have Satoshi Tsumabuki pre mega superstar giving as smooth of a performance as I have seen from him. But the person that will likely capture your heart in this film is Chizuru Ikewaki as "Jozee". You'll want to put her in a sack and take her home. As icing on the cake, and worth the price of admission alone, you also have Juri Ueno giving her only performance so far in her career as the evil bitch"

Review from za_kannushi (imdb.com):
"There are so many details that make this movie entertaining. The kid who glares dumbfounded at a naked girl waves at Tsuneo's little brother. The love hotel that turns into the inside of a virtual aquarium when you turn the lights off. The exceedingly delicious-looking food that Joze casually cooks. All these details make this movie a unique and fun experience.
When the movie was over, I found myself entertained by the comic aspects of the movie, but I was also deeply touched by the love story, that seemed so profound and real. This movie is both a light, romantic comedy as well as an intimate story about two people who develop and evolve through their relationship. In this regard, it is thematically similar to recent films such as "Lost in Translation" (2003), "Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind" (2004) and the Japanese "Vibrator" (2003).
"Joze to tora to sakana tachi" is a rare and unique film experience. I implore you to see it."

My Review:
To be frank after watch this movie i feel very disturbed. The ending, the beach, the grandmother, Josee, Tsuneo, and even Kanae touch my heart deeply. For me, this is one of the best movie I've ever seen.
My Rating: 10/10 (got few flaws here and there, but all are forgiven)
