I agreed mostly with the reviewer KT. As a native Japanese speaker, she wondered how non-Japanese would understand the subtle communication & culture to truly appreciate the film. I am not a native Japanese speaker, but I am half Japanese and speak very limited Japanese. Spending some of my growing up in Japan, I was still raised by a Japanese mother in the US and felt I still understood most of this subtle communication. I am sure some is lost by non-Japanese viewers, but the film passes cultural barriers and can be appreciated by all. In many ways I feel others can better understand Japanese culture by watching the film. The reviews were so good that I paid the high price to buy the film instead or renting it. I have no regrets. This is a film you can watch more than once.

I knew it was going to be a good movie.
Why?
All the critics raved, yet they had a hard time explaining why it was so good.
This was a good sign for all things Murakami Haruki.
The novelist whose book the movie is based on is a master of drama.
I saw it at the movie theater with great expectations
Found the movie to be surprisingly moving in the most unexpected moments
Take the scene where the speech impaired Korean actress auditioned for the Sonya
Why it brought me tears, I don't know
I wasn't expecting that
I bought the amazon video before leaving the theater.
Still it is quite surprising it won best picture for foreign films.
This movie is very anti-Hollywood.
No screaming, no blood
Everything subtle, only implied
Yet the film runs on plot twists & emotional undercurrent
As a native Japanese speaker I wondered how anyone reading subtitles will be able to pick up on the subtleties.
This is a story about communication (or lack there of).
Epitomized in the theatrical performance “Uncle Vanya” played in 5 different languages.
Words yet spoken, emotions unexpressed.
Lost opportunities.
Regrets and healing.
The protagonist uses an eye drop, it trickles down his cheek.
He looks as if he’s crying in the car.
This forecasts the trauma he’s about to experience in the next scene.
He's always sitting in the back seat of the car
Only to move to the passenger seat
When there's an emotional development
Bringing him closer to the driver.
Drama can exist without explosions/screams.
Life imitates art.
There are so many instances in life where a flickering gaze equal thousand words.
And most of us go about missing so many of things hidden.
This movie is about that.

Worried about the length for 30 minutes but it draws you in. A play with a play - all of it tragic. I don't know Checkov but I guess Uncle Vanya also ends with an acceptance of the past and thus, a little sputter of hope for the future. Some powerful performances and brilliant writing kept me engrossed the full 2.5 hours. As an aside, I got a glimpse of the multi-culti Asia of today.

And another Beatles title like "Norwegian Wood" (HATE them!), Haruki Murakami, the author who with his "Sputnik Sweetheart," "Wind-Up Bird Chronicle," and "The Rise and Fall of Sharpie Cakes" gave me the impetus to start writing at age 35 -- there was no "Doolittle" or "Nothing's Shocking" in print when I was younger, no "Trust" "Slacker" or "Simple Men," and Coover Leyner Coupland and Harold Jaffe weren't enough -- is on a roll. Maybe his short stories adapt better. As with "Burning," there's certain Gen-X tendencies, like younger people dealing with older people they don't like, like relatives and workplace acquaintances who are unhappy with their own lives and probe to take it out on them -- funnily enough, like another Beatles fan, John Hughes (see "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"), who felt his own generation wasn't ceding the stage to the new one. And most people don't even recognize this is a *problem* ...
A very good movie.
And certainly deserves the Oscar™.

"Drive My Car" is surreal, weird, thought-provoking and conversation-inducing. It shows the reality of relationships and of inner conflicts. I keep hearing the car voice talking to the main character every day, not really hearing, but yes, remembering it! The driver is very interesting, and the relationship between the main character and the driver is sugoi! The actress who is deaf or who is playing a deaf person in the play is really interesting. I may be wrong, but I think she really is not deaf but actually learned sign language and lived her everyday life like a deaf person would...in order to play the person in the play well. I don't know enough Japanese to know if I am right or not. We will watch this movie again and again as we learn more Japanese.

Acting and directing were superb and script was powerful but subtle. Sad yet beautiful.
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 3, 2022
This looked like it would be an engaging drama/romance set in Japan, with the added bonus for Saab aficionados: a red, mint -condition example of the iconic Saab 900 SPG in the starring role. The Saab held up its end of the promise. But the scenes with humans in them were tedious, with a plot intended to echo Anton Chekov’s Uncle Vanya. I hadn’t done my reading to prepare for this, so the point off the story was lost on me.
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 28, 2022
One of the main ideas highlighted in this film is loneliness by not being able to connect with someone else; therefore the best way to try to understand someone else is to understand yourself, and you do this by sharing your thoughts and feelings to someone else. I would say this is the main plot point and this film encapsulates that perfectly. If you are someone who's into stories based off that concept, than you'll love this film and even find it therapeutic (like I did.) If you don't like films based off that concept, than it will be a big waste of time. One of the best things to learn in the arts is the purpose/meaning of your art and the audience for which that art should be marketed to. If you go into this film thinking it's going to be another Hollywood story about a guy and a girl, you'll be sadly mistaken.

Long But Rewarding, “Drive My Car” is Achingly Beautiful and Worth the Hype
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on October 18, 2022
This film is nearly 3 hours long, but those with the patience to let the story unfold will be rewarded handsomely by Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s “Drive My Car.”
The soul of the movie are the performances and Hidetoshi Nishijima, Toko Miura, and Reika Kirishima are electrifying on screen in the main roles as the director, his chauffeur, and his deceased wife, respectively.
The film is an achingly beautiful meditation on grief, loss, betrayal, forgiveness, healing, and art, and it is deserving of every accolade it has accrued.
One of the most stunning, evocative and gorgeous films I’ve seen this year!

The minimalism, the mysticism, the romanticism, the tao of inanimate objects: everything I admire in Murakami is here. Truly a lovely film.

Came scratched, with no refund available.

Pre-ordered, and when it came I left it in the case for a couple months, not taking the disc out. When I finally did take it out the disc was incredibly scratched around the edges.
