平静又不平淡的电影。感觉不像在看一部电影，更像是读一本小说一样。画面与剧情缓缓呈现，犹如味增汤一般清爽却又回味十足。镰仓真是充满日式气息的好地方。剧情其实很简单，就是三个姐妹和一个同父异母的妹妹住在一起，从表面上相处融洽到各自敞开心扉，最后温暖收尾的故事。影片中幸和铃背负的东西更多一些，幸像母亲一样但起了这个家的重任，她付出所有就是为了维护这个家。铃作为“外来的”也有很大的压力，父亲和她在一起的时间比姐姐们都长。她对父亲的回忆以及父亲的特征要比姐姐们了解的都完整，这反而让她觉得自己不那么会受欢迎。铃自己也知道自己是母亲和有妇之夫结合的孩，心底里也会质疑存在的价值。这一切在最后幸和铃的山上呐喊后，仿佛像一层薄纱，终于被扯掉了。在一个不完整的家庭中成长起来的四个女孩让我们同样感受到了家庭的温暖。惜用面庞，多用躯体，少特写多中景全景远景，可能在自杀事件后导演的心境变得更为淡然从容，再加上拍摄期间经受的苦炼和修行，使影片风格质朴而博大，秉持自然本象，限制艺术加工，淡化了日本作品中较强的说教感，让一种无关利害的普世化情谊的光芒照耀并温暖着观者。笔触的详略浓淡密疏是大师之手，悠远遐思和精神纵深处的固定机位长镜头让时光在自由流淌间凝定驻留，天津老人在篝火映照下的怀乡身影蕴含人生百般滋味令人感慨万千，惊险段落如冰湖迷路割草自救和激流救援 ，节奏加快，更显剪辑和调度功力，配乐和声效对气氛的烘托也恰到好处。一直觉得将人类的恶劣心性归结为兽性是一种无耻的诋毁，这只是加倍印证了这种恶劣是人类专属，在德尔苏脸上看不到烂熟的文明的负担，纯洁的动物性使他在城市的尔虞我诈中毫无防御力。又一种高贵的动物，灭绝了Prom Pact is set at the height of prom season. High school senior Mandy Coleman and her best friend and fellow outsider Ben are surrounded by over-the-top '80s-themed Promposals. However, Mandy keeps her eyes focused on a different goal: her lifelong dream of attending Harvard. When she finds out her acceptance has been deferred, she is determined to do whatever she can do to get herself off the waitlist, even if that means asking for help from the one person she abhors - popular all-star jock Graham Lansing, whose father is a powerful senator and Harvard alum. Once Mandy becomes Graham's tutor, she begins to realize there's more to him than she thought and perhaps something more to life than Harvard.
