Reviews in German: «Der Kampf eines aufrechten jungen Ritters gegen eine brutale und intrigante Mönchskaste endet mit dem Sieg des Samurais über die geistlichen Ausbeuter. Im 12. Jahrhundert spielender Samuraifilm, hervorragend fotografiert, insgesamt jedoch nicht von der hohen Qualität anderer Filme des Japaners Mizoguchi.» (Zoom)
