Matthew Fox (WORLD WAR Z, I, ALEX CROSS, "Lost") joins with Academy Award (R) winner Tommy Lee Jones (LINCOLN, NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, THE FUGITIVE, HOPE SPRINGS), newcomer Eriko Hatsune and award-winning Japanese star Toshiyuki Nishida (GET UP!, TSURIBAKA NISSHI 14, TSURIBAKA NISSHI 6, GAKKO, DUN-HUANG) to bring to life the American occupation of Japan in the perilous and unpredictable days just after Emperor Hirohito's World War II surrender. As General Douglas MacArthur (Jones) suddenly finds himself the de facto ruler of a foreign nation, he assigns an expert in Japanese culture - and psychological warfare - General Bonner Fellers (Fox), to covertly investigate the looming question hanging over the country: should the Japanese Emperor, worshiped by his people but accused of war crimes, be punished or saved? Caught between the high-wire political intrigue of his urgent mission and his own impassioned search for the mysterious school teacher (Hatsune) who first drew him to Japan, Fellers can be certain only that the tricky subterfuge about to play out will forever change the history of two nations and his heart.

Review For Emperor
A stodgy movie that mixes dubious history with a clichéd, Madame Butterfly romance story, set in the period immediately following Japan's surrender in 1945.
Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail Emperor falls prey to the temptations endemic to historical docudrama: the desire to pack a miniseries' worth of events into one feature-length film, with romance tossed in for added appeal.
Peter Howell-Toronto Star Half crinoline romance, half crusty military-history lesson.
Peter Debruge-Variety Just a dull procedural, with the bland Matthew Fox driving around in a jeep and asking questions and not having them answered.
Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger The epigrams fly, but the movie never really takes off.
Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer Director Webber and the screenwriters, David Klass and Vera Blasi ... largely [waste] Jones and some very nice period details.
Lou Lumenick-New York Post Emperor seems to have been tailor-made for high school history classes whose teachers like to give themselves a break by popping in a DVD.
Margot Harrison-Seven Days ...probably the most disappointing 2013 film I've seen so far.
Philip Martin-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette ... contains some potentially intriguing subject matter compromised by a formulaic approach that renders the periphery characters more compelling than the central ones.
Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com Director Peter Webber, who found a more elegant balance between history and passion in Girl With a Pearl Earring, has turned Emperor into a stagy and hollow kind of story.
Jay Stone-Canada.com Emperor missed the opportunity to become an engrossing procedural of historic minutiae, like Lincoln.
Nathalie Atkinson-National Post This is a movie that tries to be that great war film, as well as a star-crossed romance and a political thriller, without really succeeding on any front.
Tyler Chase-Paste Magazine If you can't take this movie for history, what may it be taken as? As romance it's not believable. Much of the history is censored, including the rumored "Operation Blacklist" involving the pressure from above to clear the names of the royal family.
Richard von Busack-MetroActive Offers a labored treatise on the Japanese national character, with endless speeches about honor, devotion, loyalty, and the people's reverence for their emperor as a human deity.
Mike D'Angelo-AV Club Other than the restrained romantic flashbacks, there's nothing in this movie that hasn't been done better before.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express The real criminals are the screenwriters ...
Brett Michel-Boston Phoenix A decent history lesson--even if one told with a major dose of dramatic license--that's dragged down by a sappy, clumsily played romantic subplot.
Frank Swietek-One Guy's Opinion Powerful and brilliantly acted. Tommy Lee Jones is remarkable as General Douglas MacArthur in a side of World War II that has remained hidden.
Pete Hammond-Movieline However turgid the storytelling, "Emperor" makes its historic points about a widely unknown 1945 wartime episode that played out in U.S occupied Japan after its surrender.
Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com It comes off as a fairly boring and on-the-nose experience that only history buffs might find intriguing and/or entertaining. (Complete Content Details for Parents also available)
Jim Judy-Screen It! A modestly budgeted, respectfully executed post-WWII drama, the film is also entirely edgeless, and aside from a couple of swear words is ready to be shown in classrooms and on the History Channel in endless repeats.
Kevin Jagernauth-The Playlist The mealy half-truth director Peter Webber...screenwriters Vera Blasi and David Klass settle for just winds up a waste of everyone's time.
Peter Canavese-Groucho Reviews Emperor, however, is so sophisticated in its ambitions, mature in its narrative, and expert in its execution that the film's failures are more honorable than fatal.
