  • "Director Tai Kato visually embellishes the film with great moments, maximizing the setting and themes, while the cast carry the characters through...."
    Matt Reifschneider, Blood Brothers
  • "With "Red Peony Gambler 3: Hanafuda Match" Tai Kato stages the darkest, most complex and ultimately also the best part of the series so far."
