Perfectly animated, emotionally pure, 在世界的这个角落 is an outright marvel. ——莎拉·米歇尔·费特斯，电影怪人.com
An elegant reminder that we can never forget what life during wartime does to the human soul. ——布莱恩·塔列里科，罗杰伯特.com
[Suzu’s] life is treated as thoroughly unexceptional . . . 当然，事实并非如此. Besides a heart full of (hesitant) love and a soul full of (bashful) virtue, she has the artist’s drive to capture the passing world. ——马修·利科纳(《沙巴体育》
The painterly beauty of anime detaches the viewer from the terrible events depicted, but it also makes these cataclysms more accessible to the imagination. ——peter Keough，波士顿环球报
The quietly revealing tale from the director Sunao Katabuchi follows the childhood and arranged marriage of Suzu, 一个“普通,“但这是一个完全坚韧的女孩, 谁也有绘画的天赋. ——凯特·缪尔(英国《沙巴体育》)

评论:
Shinkai Makoto’s supernatural fantasy is a whirlwind of tentacled monsters, interdimensional portals and talking chairs, but the film is at its strongest when grounded in everyday life. ——杰西卡·江，《视线 & 声音
Suzume is Shinkai’s biggest and possibly most complex movie, and parts of it feel more personal due to the invocation of real history. -Sam Barsanti, AV Club
一部引人入胜、令人沮丧的电影. ——玛雅·菲利普斯，纽约时报
这很吸引人, 有趣的, bewildering work: often spectacular and beautiful, like a sci-fi supernatural disaster movie or an essay on nature and politics, but shot through with distinctive elements of fey and whimsical comedy. -Peter Bradshaw，卫报
It is a work of art which reflects on the loss of collective memory and the oblivion of the history of places, as well as on the complex relationship between nature and humanity. -Nicolás麦地那，蒙得维的亚门户网站
There is a poignancy to how the film depicts these abandoned spaces and how the means of bringing order out of chaos is to “hear” the past and remember all who once called them home. ——isabel Ong，《今日基督教
Suzume's plot is a testament to the power of storytelling and remains a beautifully crafted film that speaks to the human experience of grappling with grief and the possibility of healing. ——abhishek Srivastava，《印度时报

Secretary of State Henry Kissinger with millions of lives in the balance. Her tough leadership and compassion would ultimately decide the fate of Israel.
导演: 家伙Nattiv
表演者: Helen Mirren, Liev Schreiber, Camille Cottin, Rami Heuberger
评论:
There is no trace of Helen Mirren in 夫人, and that’s the way it ought to be. To say that she becomes the fabled Israeli Prime Minister is a mild understatement, and it should come as no surprise that she delivers a great performance. -Leonard Maltin, leonardmaltin.com
Perceptions may be colored by revisionist political opinions of Meir, but Mirren embodies a complex character of conscience and empathy, who feels deeply and acts decisively to preserve an independent state even as she herself is disappearing. 一颗宝石. ——塞尔玛·亚当斯《成人电影
Mirren portrays Meir in her darkest days at the height of the 1973 Yom Kippur War with empathy and loving subtlety. It’s hard to imagine anyone doing it better, and this is territory that was once mined by Ingrid Bergman. –G. 艾伦·约翰逊，旧金山纪事报
The film itself describes 夫人 as a hero outside of Israel and controversial in her own land, and it does well enough in embodying that very same controversy. ——萨维娜·佩特科娃，《一部值得看的好电影
Ultimately, 夫人 is an essential piece of cinematic contemplation on the value of war. ——本杰明·弗朗茨《电影威胁
Helen Mirren astounds as Israeli Prime Minister 夫人 Meir in a tense dramatization of the Yom Kippur War. The film juxtaposes her debilitating cancer treatments with the fortitude to make life and death decisions under extraordinary circumstances. ——朱利安·罗曼，MovieWeb
