Don't miss it.

Though Kippur seems a creature radically different -- more nakedly autobiographical, more naturalistic, more forgiving -- from Gitai's highly conceptual and stylized body of work, there are clear thematic continuities.
80
At once shockingly vivid and overwhelmingly antiheroic.
79
Formally astute, visually arresting, and fearlessly horrifying.
75
Shot mostly with a hand-held camera and in the gray hues you expect from the gruesome landscape, Kippur is highly sophisticated in its action scenes.
63
Undeniably powerful, grimly fascinating.
60
Immerses you in violence and agony, but it may leave you with a curious feeling of detachment.
