"Just a few years after the commercial release of Pathé Baby equipment [Mori Kurenai] was already a master of his craft, using a variety of trick shots, special effects, stop-motion animation, colouring processes, dialectical montage... Kitchen Drama is a vivid, fast-paced, and delicate portrayal of female domestic labour." - Anna Briggs, Michele Manzolini and Mirco Santi, "The Making of 9 1/2," Journal of Film Preservation, 108 (April 2023): 73.
