Frustratingly shallow, refusing to be about anything in particular. No, that's a lie: it's about a great many things, and it is horribly superficial about every one of them.

Reviews for Air Doll
1 - 7 (sorted by date; Australian critics are listed first)
Plays like a middling installment of some softballed international portmanteau like Paris, je t'aime, but maddeningly inflated to at least ten times the recommended scale.
10/07/09
This follow-up, despite having been in the works for years, feels a tad rushed.
05/16/09
Although the bill may be too ambitious and Kore-eda’s approach too diffused, Air Doll does offer food for thought.
05/15/09
Air Doll looks beautiful, and even though it bordered heavily on pretension, I went with it and was happy to give Kore-Eda the benefit of the doubt.

Top CriticThe urban fairytale about an inflatable sex doll come to life gradually unfurls as an achingly beautiful meditation on loneliness and longing in the city.
05/15/09
Recut to a trim 90 minutes, this fragile yarn would work perfectly and have a chance of an afterlife as a specialty item. In its present form, pic may not get much farther than the fest netherworld.
