Character Evaluation
Robert Douglas Benton is an excellent director
. In the movie "Kramer vs. Kramer", Robert Douglas Benton uses his natural and delicate approach to show the family changes of an ordinary American couple. The emotional conflicts and value disputes of the characters in the film have profound social connotations, which bring unlimited thinking and interpretation space to the audience
. The seemingly narrative style, but soft and rigid, contains multiple antagonistic relationships between characters. This enables a family ethics film to show ups and downs in a life-like presentation, reflecting the barriers to communication between people in social reality. Harmonize with the deep desire, loss, escape and guilt in people's hearts comprehensive review of Film Literature , "Popular Literature and Art").

Albert Denby:
Now then, Mrs. Spalding... in spite of the fact that I have great doubts about... this misguided attempt of yours to hold on to this place... as a Christian and deacon of the church, it's my beholden duty to... reach out the hand of charity to a human being in need. And I got to thinking, now what better way to help out this poor woman... than if she took in a boarder. Someone who could move in here, and by paying a modest rent, help her out. What if my brother-in-law was to move in here and rent a room from you?
Edna Spalding:
