“It is insane to go back to this and see how strong Miyazaki already is with scope, size, and purpose. This is such a big story but it is masterfully controlled and focused.” –

Jacquot (1991)

“Every moment of this film is filled with love. The love one can feel for their husband, the love a child can feel for their parents, the love an audience can have for cinema and storytelling, the film is one of Varda's most beautiful and moving projects.” –

“How rare to find a film so expertly crafted while also being so playful in form and style. Undoubtedly, this will go down as Alice Rohrwacher's strongest effort.” –

“Mufasa: The Lion King is constantly scratching at a story that could be so much more. The limitations in story, technical ability, character, and direction consistently pull the film down to only show small displays of its actual potential.” –
