- "A bleak, but lavishly animated marvel. "
- "What begins as a comfy film about an old (if stubborn) British couple in their twilight years becomes a scathing attack on apathy."
- "Political documents from prior generations can't help but lose their force, and yet this is just as powerful now as it ever could have been."
