Reception

Diego Semerene of Slant Magazine rated the film 3 stars out of 4 and wrote that "With stinging precision, Hayakawa Chie reveals a culture that seems almost mobilized to destroy its own soul."[6] Stephanie Bunbury of Deadline Hollywood wrote that "Stylistically, it looks a bit like a training film. What this means – the brilliance of this film – is that Hayakawa is able to make the idea of wiping out a generation seem drably normal within about quarter of an hour, something to ponder in itself."[7] Tim Grierson of Screen Daily wrote that the film "may seem like it’s about ageing, but more accurately it is about the importance of community".[8]

James Hadfield of The Japan Times rated the film 4 stars out of 5 and wrote that "as the film progresses, a sense of numb resignation sets in. But Hayakawa refuses to end on a resolutely downbeat note — and in its haunting closing shot, “Plan 75” achieves something close to an epiphany."[9] Clarence Tsui of the South China Morning Post also rated the film 4 stars out of 5 and wrote that "throughout the film, Hayakawa implies rather than explains, and this tactfulness instils Plan 75 with the power one expects of a bitter denunciation for our troubling times."[10] Jaden S. Thompson of The Harvard Crimson also rated the film 4 stars out of 5, writing that it "upholds the inherent value of human life with its introspective writing and performances."[11]
