Critics say Sumo's promising comic premise gets wasted on flat screenplay, body-shaming humour, and melodrama, though the Japan segment and sumo fight scenes land as passable highlights.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 3 readings; 1 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
