    Birth, old age, sickness and death, reincarnation. How many charming past events left only a few photos in the end. The film reflects the life of ordinary people, but also the life of most...

    The chronicle of parents' love, the tenderness is always flowing. The life of an ordinary London family over the past century mirrors the magnificent journey of World War II. The hand-painted lines are exquisite, and the details are particularly well-drawn. Incorporating the parents' personalities, dealings with others, getting along with each other, and disputes over political opinions into daily life, the short 90 minutes seems to have witnessed the old couple's lifetime nostalgia. A lifetime...

    The hand-painted history, with a few telephotos, outlines half a hundred lives. Perhaps, most of our lives are enriched in countless first times, and then return to the last silence. I love you, the best definition is that I will always be here, with you, waiting for...

    A movie about the lives of two people, based on a true story, tells the story of Essel and Ernest meeting and accompany. It is ordinary and trivial, warm and charming. The hand-drawn animation outlines the details to the extreme and spreads the emotions to the most extreme. Jia, uses the time span to describe the changes of a family of three, and eloquently describes the era of the British working-class family, which is delicate and...

    It's amazing that the picture book style can be brought into the movie to show this texture. It is delicate, warm and bright. It can be called a massage for the eyes. The life of the old imperialist countries is really enviable. The historical span is quite large. The early stage is quite epic, but the rhythm of the latter part is obviously a bit rushed. Everything around is changing rapidly, only life moves forward unchanged on a line that can see the...

    The painting style is warm and beautiful. A milkman can afford a big house and a full-time wife and son. The wife also says that she is not a working class... I feel very...

    Maybe this is how we all live our lives. Nostalgic music, the taste of old movies, and exquisite picture book style pictures. Ethal is completely the typical ordinary housewife image we see in our daily life, pure and conservative. It is very interesting to witness the passage of time in the form of real news big events. It was the first time I saw an animated war scene in a movie theater. It was shocking and real. It felt like I could watch it together with the recent "Darkest...

    No matter how the world changes, most of us will live an ordinary life like this, and this ordinaryness is also a kind of luck. The pear tree at the end allowed me to finally understand the sadness and affection in the sentence "There is a loquat tree in the courtyard, which was planted by my wife when she...

    dream happy family

    I didn't expect to see an animated film before, and I also watched with tears in my eyes and warm heart.

    Ordinary and lucky life

    On the last day of the New Year's Day holiday, under the guise of hurting fingers, I was able to walk in a loose and fat house with peace of mind. On the not-so-cold southern winter afternoon, I stopped and watched "London Family", with tears in my eyes at the end.

Ethel & Ernest quotes

  • [first lines]

    Raymond Briggs: [voice over] There was nothing extraordinary about my Mum and Dad, nothing dramatic, no divorce or anything, but they were my parents and I wanted to remember them by doing a picture book. It's a bit odd really, having a book about my parents up there in the best seller list among all the football heroes and cookbooks. They'd be proud of that, I suppose, or rather probably embarrassed too. I'd imagine they'd say, "It wasn't like that," or, "How can you talk about that?" Well, I have, and this is their story.

  • [last lines]

    Raymond Briggs: [with Jean, looking at the full grown pear tree in Ethel and Ernest's back yard] I grew it from a pip.
