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.
垃圾垃圾垃圾，你们花钱买别人子宫的人真的好屌哦，孩子说要就要说不要就不要，拍这种题材还洗白代孕夫妇的就是垃圾，尤其是洗白这种代孕不满意还随意让别人引流拍屁股走人的更是垃圾，这种随意买卖别人人生的人也根本就不可能做好父母教出好孩子，垃圾垃圾垃圾，洗白共情代孕的片子不管打出什么鸡汤标题也是垃圾。
大卫耶茨和罗琳阿姨可真有你们的，让我花钱进电影院又看一遍《权力的游戏》大结局。
结尾有点心酸，每个人都和爱的人在一起了，只有邓布利多和爱过的人失去了最后一点羁绊
故事工整，运镜流畅，林静这个人物可以多角度挖一下的
這樣的劇本很明顯不合格
2.8 绥靖政策下一路风光的格林特勒遭遇直播事故，克雷登史密斯突然上台居然不是为了扇耳光。就是说谁都特么不要随便对神奇宠物进行无害化处理，动物的事情处理不好会出很大的问题，尤其是舆论上的问题，网民的眼睛是雪亮的。镜子里公然展示”GV”，镜子外都是琼瑶言情剧，音乐一起都有点故意卖腐了。真以为会正经拍点政治惊悚的德式谍战类型片？在这个躺平时代不存在的，就像这假普选，所呈现的都是些空空的魔法奇观和不讲逻辑、过目就忘的全息作秀短视频罢了。
I fell in love with u，这也删！难怪从头到尾没看明白老邓的谜是什么谜！原来是出柜之谜啊！太多小细节没看懂了，总有些莫名其妙的东西
你要完全没看过原著和电影，会说这什么破玩意，你要是原著和系列电影都看过了，会说这什么破玩意……
如果格林德沃了解一点东方文化或者来过中国，经过哪个王府门口，也该知道麒麟是双生。
向婚礼现场投去的羡慕的目光，独自一人落寞地离开，前方是不得不面对的至死方休的对立。I was in love with him.
说真的，随便从霍格沃茨选一个课程（魔法史除外）拍两个小时的录播课拿电影院一播都比这好看13倍🙄️。以及麒麟下跪认王这个设定确定不是偷《十二国记》吗？？？
货真价实的巫师都是第一时间看的！超级宇宙无敌好看，and邓布利多这一集全面出柜了，且看且珍惜
题材不错，故事讲得太一般。本该立意批判代孕黑产，结果被拍成了八点档狗血剧
全世界的安危就系在一只毫无法力的动物身上，而且这只动物还是单性生殖。魔法世界也从没有任何的保护措施，这选举体系管控能力脆弱到像过家家游戏。映射借鉴二战德国一点都没什么新意，不过纵观2022年世界各地的民粹主义，一百年过去了倒却也没什么变化。主线缝隙间的同性情感流露惹的周遭小女生们频频发出姨母笑，只想说真的很没必要，真正的同性情感都是苦涩而隐忍的，猎奇的腐女们倒不如在影片最后对着邓布利多孤独的身影发出一声叹息更合适。
这是什么美印建交电影吗？这稀烂敷衍的结尾…哪怕让把拉杰带回美国后因为太想米米不忍心拉杰难过送回米米身边我也能容忍，直接半路捡了个女鹅皆大欢喜 无语😓
8.不要再卖腐了感觉不出一丝一毫的爱意 要我硬磕就有点过分了吧
女主儿子成长的那一段音乐非常好听,就是不知道歌名是什么。
全片最想哭的地方是霍格沃茨伴随着海德薇奏鸣曲出现的时候…….
理想的部分真的太多了
新的时代新的发展，势必会因贫富的差距和人性的存在，而引发争议和突出矛盾。与其争论“三观”问题，不如跟进相应的制度，让法律尽快照亮阴影，这才是当务之急。至于电影，用喜剧闹剧的形式呈现揭露阴影，离谱的背后，有郑重地审视与思量。
