The style of the film is very British, very warm - this kind of warmth is not intuitive and direct, but seems to be brought about by the inadvertently passing but really long fifteen years in the film - like wrinkles on the face or tree rings. The formation process is unobtrusive but real. When it comes to time, the director's blurring of different time segments (clothing, styling, and environment) will make the viewing process tiring and awkward (you will have to brush twice if you don't pay attention), which is a drag on narrative, especially such biographical stories. In fact, there are also, for example, there are several transitions between Allen's family and Allen's mother's family and so on. I like the director's grasp of long shots (like the scene at the Allen's neighborhood gathering) (the filming is interesting and compelling) (the director is very good at capturing the actors' performances). In the end, Maggie Smith's milk is really distressing, so soft-hearted that I can't watch it for a minute! Good night. British elegance. Mary the boy with the black earrings.../Goodbye Love the scene where Mary slides down the slope in a wheelchair. I like the scene where Mary plays the piano in the day centre. Well done at the end.
