The 2026 ‘Street Fighter’ reboot’s arcade-game aesthetic
IndieWire’s review calls Kitao Sakurai’s film narratively incoherent but entertaining, with an eclectic cast and bold visuals.
TLDR
IndieWire critic Christian Zilko gives Kitao Sakurai’s ‘Street Fighter’ a B-. He says the film follows Ryu and Ken while favoring neon colors, surreal humor and an eclectic cast over coherent plotting. Several tournament fights end in offscreen forfeits. Despite those complaints, Zilko finds it entertaining and predicts it could become a cult classic.
