"R100" suggests that extreme and perverse films allow the everyman to seek thrills in his otherwise-monotonous life.

Martin Tsai, Los Angeles Times

Matsumoto works overtime to keep this vital once the basic premise has been established, but the cultural subtext is so potent that he really can't go wrong.

J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
Rotten

A little punishment goes a long way, especially for the rest of us, yet on it drags, torturously, slap, kick, slap, kick.

Manohla Dargis, New York Times

Matsumoto says he wanted to make a film that transcended the idea of genre, and in that respect, he has succeeded admirably.

Katie Rife, AV Club
Rotten

You'd expect more yucks from the country that bequeathed tentacle porn.
