The great maestro himself would be proud of Ron Howard’s epic documentary as it hits all the right notes. Much like Luciano hitting 9 high C’s in one performance, Howard manages to find an incredible amount of warmth and humanity to put on display here.

"It’s a great meditation on how we treat and mistreat ‘the other.’ A magical, thought provoking film that I saw at a time in my life when I was questioning a lot of things about the nature of humanity and how we react when we come up against the unknown and unknowable."

"Ernst Lubitsch’s profoundly moving and charming recreation of a microcosm of commerce-hunting humanity in an idealized, bygone Budapest. Jimmy Stewart and Margaret Sullavan are brilliant in their roles as the letterwriting non-lovers — but it’s Frank Morgan’s plight as the lovelorn, betrayed shop owner which gives the film its heart and weight."

"Ozu at his best. Everyone can identify with the family in this story as they suffer the loss of a parent. This is a deep and thorough investigation into our humanity, and it has stayed with me for years. It strikes a very deep chord that makes us recognize our true commonality."
