Critics Consensus

Tokyo Tribe's wild mishmash of tones and genres isn't always as much fun as it ought to be, but it'll hit the spot for filmgoers in search of something different.

The nearly two-hour run time starts to feel like a concert where the hype men won't get off the stage. Go to Full Review Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture 10/25/2015
There's a strange power to Sion's filmmaking that goes beyond the midnight-movie oddness of the plot. He likes the silly and the strange, but he has the style of a Spielberg; he can work wonders with a camera and make the dumbest ideas work. Go to Full Review Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times 10/23/2015
It's as if the American hip-hop culture has been fully lost in Japanese translation and skewed as something cartoonish. Go to Full Review Justine Smith Vague Visages 06/06/2024
It’s pretty amazing when you consider Tokyo Tribe was adapted from a manga series, since the identity of the story seems forged into the flesh of the music. Go to Full Review C.J. Prince Way Too Indie 05/24/2019
8/10
No one injects more insanity and ideas into their films on a moment-by-moment basis the way Sono does. Go to Full Review Frank Ochieng SF Crowsnest 11/09/2018
2.5/4
Outwardly frivolous, frenetic and fueled with a bizarre combination of opulence and outlandishness, Tokyo Tribe will indeed stimulate the senses with its hodge-podge of hedonistic heft in the realm of instantaneous insanity. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Andrew S @Malasita Jul 6 Fun hip hop musical. Based on a manga this film is like a live action anime. See more 09/02/2018 I'll let the speakers do the talking. See more 08/23/2017 I enjoyed the passion and I could see the effort the cast contributed to the art style. I was especially happy to see Shokotan playing her favorite cosplay, Bruce! Bonus points for that! See more 04/03/2017 A delight to all Sion Sono fans. Weird and noisy yet entertaining and pumpy. See more 11/24/2016 Fantastically mad! Definately worth watching... again and again. See more 11/19/2016 Sion Sono + Japan gangs + Hip Hop + swinging cam = Dizzy + Noisy + Headache. See more Read all reviews
