Reception

The Girl from Nagasaki received mixed reviews from critics. Marshall Fine in his review for Huffington Post said that the "staging is avant-garde, bloody and surreal, with elements of modern dance, classical tableaux, kabuki and opera, as well as conventional melodrama. Comte returns often to that staged version to emphasize the action or outline it in a more symbolic way." While, Dan Schindel in his review for Movie Mezzanine said that it "Feels like every derisive joke about art house cinema brought to unironic life."
