is a 2010 Japanese comedy film directed by Koji Fukada.[1] [2]
Ben Sachs of Chicago Reader called Hospitalité a "charming comedy",[3] while Chris Cabin of Slant Magazine called it "Essentially timeless".[4]
Maggie Lee of The Hollywood Reporter said that the film is "bizarre" and compared disguised Japanese xenophobia as a "house intruder" motif to that of Yoshimitsu Morita's Family Game and Max Frisch's play The Fire Raisers.[5]
Ronnie Scheib of Variety was quoted saying that "[the film] maintains a marvelous tension between a prim comedy of manners and unbridled slapstick".[6]
