A powerful Japanese drama worked out with such careful attention to details that one feels that for the time one must be in Japan. Staging and costuming have been carefully done, and the closest attention was given to the study of the details of the picture. Dramatically it will rank with the best of the week, and the actors perform their parts with skill and discretion. So far as the average person can see it has no flaw. The sacrifice, which is the basis of the story, is graphically represented, and one is disposed to feel a sense closely approaching gratification when it is accomplished and its necessity is comprehended. The actors deserve commendation for the sympathetic manner in which they interpret the play and one will want to see the film more than once. - The Moving Picture World, August 6, 1910
