    The Hong Kong translation of "True Love" is quite appropriate. It is an interesting and delicate little film. Intertextuality and reflexive play are very enjoyable. You can feel that the director is trying hard to find the subtleties that may be common in French sketches and Japanese family films (the truth and memory). dialectically, depicting the hidden power struggles in family relationships). The casting is really good. In recent years, Deneuve has also played a lot of sly and jealous...

    I saw the director's Q&A session in Melbourne. It was Hirokazu Koreeda who was really easy-going and humble. He kept bowing to everyone and answered every question with a thoughtful expression. Moving from Japan to France, he is still talking about family, misunderstandings between generations, biased memories and preconceived prejudices. I love sci-fi movies within a play, Anna's voice is really charming, and that gift dress is really beautiful. I love Grandpa's character the most, probably...

    The plot is similar to "Autumn Sonata", but the filming is much worse, because it is really obvious that in many scenes, Hirokazu Koreeda has no way to control the actors (really the original sin of the foreign language director), and it seems that he can't control it at all. But is this "real" really the real movie? If you can't even do it accurately, don't mention it later... But what's interesting is that Hirokazu Koreeda could have chosen an ordinary play within a play, but he chose to...

    The combination of European-style scenes/subjects and Japanese emotions presents no sense of violation. Although the entry point and the harmonious ending of family conflicts still have the characteristics of Hirowa, but overall, it is closer to the warmth of "Autumn Sonata" (Mother-daughter misunderstanding/confrontation + identity setting of mother as a star), and the film itself is not clearly recognizable. Whether it is subjective memory or what you have seen or experienced, the so-called...

    This kind of movie is a bit like waiting for a French terrier and a Shiba Inu to have offspring. Cute must be cute, but who has stronger genes has to be born to know - it still looks more like a terrier...

    [Busan Film Festival Screening] Japanese family drama + French background setting, for Shie Hirokazu, it was just a not-failed internationalization attempt. It's not bad that there is no sense of contravention by mechanical methods. Except for a few scenes of light music that create an atmosphere, it is difficult to see the traces of Hirokazu Kee. It seems to be just a fairly modest French film with female subjects. The subject of mother-daughter reconciliation is not uncommon. The setting of...

    A typical bad movie that looks good and has an empty inside. It is not a fatal problem to express Japanese warmth out of the Japanese context. What is fatal is that the sense of reality and record quality that Shizhi's works should have been washed away. How does it feel? Probably just watching Deneuve and Binoche in a morning drama. When the small fresh accompaniment sounded, I felt nauseated. And Ethan Hawke please answer what's the point of you taking this...

    Under the skin of the French, what flows is still the essence of the director's personal charm. It is Kee Hirokazu who still chooses to use small-scale family dramas to delicately express his thoughts about family and affection; the feelings in his movies can never be weakened by changing the language of expression. After all, this feeling is universal in the world....

The Truth quotes

  • Fabienne Dangeville: I was a bad mother, a bad friend, but so what? I prefer to have been a bad mother, a bad friend and a good actress. You may not forgive me, but the public does. Why am I telling you this? You can't understand what actors feel.

  • Fabienne Dangeville: How can you put up with a woman like her? Hats off to you. Save your energy for your acting. It's not a job you do halfway. The daily grind doesn't matter. You know what I think? When actresses start getting involved in charity and politics, they've lost vis-à-vis the profession. They've lost the battle on screen, so, they dive into reality. They pretend to fight against reality. Understand? It's not the contrary. I've always won that battle. That's why I can withstand solitude.
