"Savage, bawdy, and darkly funny, Vengeance Is Mine is a striking journey in the mind of a killer that will linger on in the viewer's consciousness long after the credits have rolled."

- Kevin Thomas, L.A. Times

"...the film's formal audacity impresses the most, as Oshima fiddles with odd-kilter compositions, gorgeous flurries of imagery, and a playful chronology that anticipates directors like Nicolas Roeg and Richard Lester."
