Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.
哎呀，怎么说呢。白雪公主和她的善良妈妈、三个爸爸、钢琴王子的故事。亲情看哭、爱情互相治愈加一星，平行剪辑还不错。幸福全靠父亲丈夫爱的接力棒减n星～十元的角色真的无法理解，行吧，就当童话故事看治愈一下吧～
幸好没在sundance上买票看这部...
但我还真的蛮喜欢这种讲故事的手法的🥹 喜欢めい555
小女儿长大了，老婆依然美丽。故事很稀烂，纯为颜值买单。
不过，过去十年的两大日剧女神，都在荧幕演过永野的母亲了，也都挂了🤣，这下接力棒来到长泽雅美这边了～
各位爹妈＝导演实现自我感动的工具人❓
莫名其妙的情感，莫名其妙的剧情。（咩真的可爱治愈
豪华卡司 期待一个。呃到一半过后才发觉小女孩是女主。。。。剧情什么的就是为煽情而煽情，最后妈妈去世也在预料之中……所以说，不能太期待
永野芽郁和石原里美居然某些角度还挺像的，真是奇妙。毕业典礼那段钢琴的哭戏还挺感动的😢
然而在评论区里打拳大可不必。如果“爱意的支持与传承下塑造了当下的自我，并且爱与被爱在时空中交互成就”这一主题被简单理解成女主是接力棒被递来递去，那是作为观众的失败。
其实，这部电影的伦理逻辑“模型”就是错的，因为电影中的法律体系就克隆人问题存在太多漏洞，这居然是高等文明在深思熟虑后产生的制度，真是让小学生的我都笑掉大牙！至于本我和它我之间的纠缠，倒是能折射出一些社会问题，初时的谦卑与龚让很难坚持到底，这也间接说明了爱情为什么很难久远，你虽然还在眼前，可那个伊人已去……它我时日长久后，它我的“本我”又将抛弃它我……总之，有意思的想法，但很难表达的实态！
咩好美好棒😭前段的插叙看似是悬念，虽然有许多提示镜头，但其实会让人看不懂在讲什么😓 故事的魅力就在于：让狗屁不通的设定圆满画上句号
片子立意独特，但表现的却单调乏味，对人物内心逻辑，周边关系逻辑交待的不够。
一个人竟如此容易就被替换，甚至身边的人乐于把他替换为一个相对更符合大家心意的人。这好像看起来很残酷，却有一定的内在道理。观影过程中我一直在观察，并且小心翼翼，就怕突然掏出大宝贝把我吓一跳。但好在并没有发生。可影射的人际关系真的很赤裸，也很直白，更深的一层应该是那些银行家，资本家们肆意掠夺他人财富。
女士好适合这个角色。感觉只有她这个戏路才能让这个角色这么有说服力。
三星给永野 后妈自私、亲爹任性 故事的大前提垮掉导致整部电影除了永野的演技外一塌糊涂
来自三位父亲、两位母亲以及恋人对优子的爱的接力，一开始是被这个独特的家庭背景吸引了，本以为能像小偷家族一样感动我，不成想看完后无动于衷，只对咩酱的大眼睛和哭戏有感觉，连十元招牌式的笑容看着也让我有点出戏。
电影是美好的，如果现实也能这么美好就好了。
从三分之一处开始哭 虽然是如一些评论所说有些不合逻辑之处 但我认为这部电影 只突出了它的核心 就是父母对孩子的关爱 不是用大多数人抵触的说教 而且用一些有迹可循的小细节打动人 优子最后长成了一个美好的人 懂得感恩 知足 这么美好的故事 享受就好了
虽然故事有点离奇，好在最后给圆回来了。心存美好总是好的。一部赚走了我妈妈一大把眼泪的电影。
