Sixty Glorious Years is an exercise in the creation of iconography, both for Victoria and its star, Anna Neagle (who subsequently became known as 'Regal Neagle'). Just as Elizabeth I commissioned artists to create flattering iconic images for public consumption, so this film performs a similar function, for Neagle is more beautiful than the real life Victoria. Controversial events (such as the 'Irish problem') are omitted and unpleasant aspects of Victoria's character (her petulance, arrogance, favouritism and 'right to privilege') are glossed over as endearing little 'whims'. Albert acts as a moderating influence when she goes too far.
The film followed a year after the highly successful Victoria the Great (d. Herbert Wilcox, 1937). Again the screenplay is by Miles Malleson and Robert Vansittart, and many of the supporting cast (the cream of acting talent of period) repeat their roles, this time for the colour cameras. This was the first full length Technicolor film of cinematographer Freddie Young, who captures the spectacle of royal weddings, grand balls and opulent interiors, with scenes actually filmed at royal palaces. Vivid battle scenes, set in Alexander Korda's empire territory (Sevastopol and the Sudan), rival those in The Four Feathers (d. Zoltan Korda 1939).
The title music sets the tone: a regal choir sings over a shot of the crown. Elgar's 1901 'Pomp and Circumstance' march is heard during the diamond jubilee celebrations and, as Victoria's coffin lies in state, the film concludes with Anthony Collins' stately music accompanied by the text of Rudyard Kipling's 'Lest we forget'. Combined with the emotional appeal of scenes of Victoria connecting with her 'ordinary folk', this is stirring stuff.
The film connects with contemporary events of 1938. The release of two celebratory royal films was intended to boost public affection for the monarchy in the wake of Edward VIII's abdication. Anglo-German relations were another touchy subject. With another war on the horizon, influential voices wanted appeasement, and the film could be seen to fit that agenda. Victoria herself was of mainly German descent, nicknamed 'the grandmother of Europe', while Albert is a 'good German', charmingly played by Anton Walbrook as a cultured, decent man.
Sixty Glorious Years now seems unduly formal and reverential. Had movies existed during Victoria's reign (they only emerged at the end) this might have been the kind of film produced. Unlike Mrs Brown (d. John Madden, 1997), it is all so very 'Victorian'.

虽然这部电影一如既往的是枝裕和，但观众似乎对导演的这种换汤不换药的温吞技法审美疲劳了。
比《小偷家族》更温暖的故事 节奏、人物和可看性什么的都没得挑 但对是枝裕和来说 故事结构上自我重复就算了 重要的是连他对于社会系列狠辣的挖掘都没了 这很难让我满意
是枝裕和热衷于组建临时家庭…但这组有点塑料味…当然，也有一贯平淡中突然惊雷戳中泪点的小温馨…探讨领养与贩卖的边界，有需求就有市场，不是法定程序太苛刻谁会去花重金买…母亲亲自当人贩算代孕了吗？这么负责的掮客现实中又怎会存在，警察的执法方式真的ok？
宋康昊的表演在他自己的作品里好像算不上出彩，甚至没留下记忆点。
不像是枝裕和拍韩国电影，倒是很像大陆翻拍《小偷家族》。
倍速看的，带了些滤镜，导演说和《小偷家族》是同一时期构思的，内核相似也不奇怪。善意是发自内心的，社会这么残酷，可能我们还是想被温柔的故事治愈吧。
不太理解为什么宋康昊通过这部没啥发挥空间的片子拿了影帝
迟到的mark~和《小偷家族》近乎是一样的配方：非血缘关系下的惺惺相惜，人性黑白之间模糊难以被评价的灰色地带，彼此的相互救赎……实话说有点审美疲劳，起初也感到韩日文化差异和是枝裕和的本子的不适配之处，好在后期渐渐完美融合了~也有不少（其实也能对应小偷家族）的佳章，如洗车误开窗、黑暗中的真心话剖白等，但整体观感不如小偷家族，警察线也有点乱（想讲的东西还是稍微多了点），看完全篇印象最深刻的反而是，iu真美啊……
有点假，有点温情。最令人动容的一幕是，黑暗中IU躺在床上，喊每个人的名字，说谢谢你出生在这个世界上……这个世界上，有的人很幸运，一出生就在光里；有的人很努力，再加一点幸运，可以一直向着光奔跑；可是，素英、东洙，还有这世上绝大多数的人，都在光照不到的地方千辛万苦地活着，这样的生命，也值得感谢吗？
有《小偷家族》朱玉在前真的很难有超越，而且这部电影整体太单薄了，最后的结局又太梦幻，是非常是枝裕和，但也仅此而已。！
是枝裕和+韩影阵容最终变成了不伦不类，虽然同属东亚文化圈，但是日本那种不可名状无法形容的清淡和哀伤强硬塞进戏剧冲突与社会讽刺性极强的韩影中时还是稍显违和。或许韩语和日语的发音之间的区别与印象也是阻碍我理解本片的一大原因。
和是枝裕和之前所有的电影不同，他们从来没能好好地吃上一顿饭。
李知恩長得像松岡茉優，看來是枝裕和真喜歡這一型。
是枝裕和的功力还是在的 只是同样的故事挪到韩国 少了些日式的精致温情 显得有些水土不服
其实还好 没有多差 生完宝宝九死一生 看到这部电影其实心生挺多感慨。
镜头，音乐，演员都很好，可就是喜欢不起来。
是枝裕和最惯常的在生活的残酷中找感情的温暖。但无论如何，人贩子是不值得同情和怜悯的。6
怎么说呢…..口下留德的说法是“偶有华章”，summary的说法是“可以 但没必要”。iu的演技哪怕是在平均水平也一般的本篇中也是肉眼可见的脱节啊….
还是是枝裕和熟悉的风格，不过把相同的内容换上一个韩国外壳就显得很别扭了。IU完全无法胜任是枝裕和女主角一职。
每个人都透着骨子里的良善渴望得以救赎，
