- Excerpt: Of the shorts, I found [The Dam Keeper] to be the most emotionally satisfying since it used its simple, broad style to dig into themes of loss, loneliness, creativity and friendship. I found it to be profoundly moving, and while I don’t think it will win, I’m immensely glad that I got to see it.

- Excerpt: [Aya’s story is] the sort of rom-com plot that would have been openly mocked by critics and made $100 million if it starred Julia Roberts 15 years ago. I can only assume that it was nominated because at least part of it isn’t in English.
