Ac.colaJuly 28, 2024This film can be called cinematic animation, genuinely observing the downtrodden and capturing their struggles and joys. Kiyoko's miracle reflects the kindness and goodwill of humanity. Christmas here isn't about loudly proclaimed gospels but about the journey of three homeless people searching for a home.

9 The production is quite careful, and the plot is connected with each other before and after. Miyuki was still slightly fat before leaving, but now she has lost weight. The introduction of the life experience of the three homeless men also strives to be novel. Although the transitions in the middle are a bit blunt, and the ending is a bit disappointing, but it can be attributed to Kon Min’s personal taste, and maybe he only wanted to make an alternative road movie with a comedy effect, and the touching feelings are just incidental. Barely get five stars and 9 points.

Entertainment OverviewOctober 6, 2024Una historia maravillosa construida a través de casualidades que termina en un milagro y un acto heróico. Es así como describiría esta película, además de: uno de los mejores filmes de anime.
El trabajo de Satoshi Kon debería ser más reconocido.

Chloe_LawAugust 3, 2024A través de pistas contradictorias y detalles, el director mantiene una estructura abierta, lo que le permite a la audiencia experimentar vínculos dobles. Cada parte de la película (el comienzo, el medio y el final) tiene finales abiertos. Los espectadores pueden interpretar abiertamente las pistas y los detalles, lo que puede llevar a varias conclusiones.

Arturo_GriffithAugust 3, 2024Esta película podría describirse como una animación cinematográfica que genuinamente presenta a los desamparados y captura sus desafíos y alegrías. El milagro de Kiyoko refleja la bondad y la buena voluntad de la humanidad. Aquí, la Navidad no trata sobre evangelios proclamados fuertemente, sino sobre el camino de tres personas desamparadas que buscan un hogar.

Wayne_CarterJuly 28, 2024Este filme pode ser chamado de animação cinematográfica, observando genuinamente os oprimidos e capturando suas dificuldades e alegrias. O milagre de Kiyoko reflete a bondade e a boa vontade da humanidade. O Natal aqui não é sobre evangelhos proclamados em voz alta, mas sobre a jornada de três moradores de rua em busca de um lar.
