Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.
想吃饭，想和互相喜欢的人一起吃饭，想给喜欢的人做他喜欢吃的饭，想让我喜欢的人给我做饭，马德……想和喜欢的人一起走进柴米油盐……
少了点剧版做饭的感觉.但还是甜甜的.好羡慕
很细腻，细水长流。果然不婚不育，青春永驻。
还是被贤二弄哭了。即便他浮夸起来是那么的油腻，作为一个gay也能接受gay我都有点觉得，会不会太过啊，但这本来就是漫画人物的设定。所以细想以后才更觉得他厉害，和西岛这个CP感是能让我认同的，太羡慕这两个人的恋爱方式了。而且爱真的就是对对方的奉献啊！
前半部分的情愫暗生、悸动和拉扯都拍得太好了！是要倒回去看两遍的程度 耶和华的教义太没人性，喜欢黑人小哥和阿姨的包容善良
以Jamie一个外来者的视角去审视宗教团体内对情感和个人的压制，或许有一些真实的背景在，同性之爱成为了一种既定道德的反抗，Marike是矛盾的中心，也是大多数LGBT群体最真实的写照。
影片情感细腻，化学反应强烈，在拍摄手法和剧本方面不是很成熟，但是整部影片观看下来氛围感挺不错的，个人不是很喜欢宗教题材的影片，有点过于压抑。影片前半部分糖分满满，充满了暧昧与悸动，亲密戏份欲值拉满，后半部分世俗的套路使这部影片大打折扣，但是导演在某些小细节上抓的还是很可以的。
三星半，演技很舒服，就是吃的篇幅有点少，不过时长限制可以理解
好难看好无趣好荒唐。受够了用宗教烘托禁欲感的同性恋电影，没冲突都能给你编个冲突没爱也能硬给你制造一段爱出来，荒诞又敷衍，难看至极。(如果显示生活中有这样的故事，那我只能说没脑的人生活活该完蛋)
青少年的爱情电影容易拍得轻浮，多数角色不能说服观众他们的happily ever after。这就使得他们的海誓山盟像过家家的道具，他们的聚散离合不过是一次对成年生活的模拟。这部电影保留了青少年电影的青涩和单纯，但是借由信仰的差异把二人的爱情塑造得超越了年龄。Marike和Jaime跨越了宗教信仰的相互吸引拍得太真，Jaime以旁观者的姿态疏解Marike压抑的家庭生活，却是一步步沉沦，直到幸福与信条再无可能共存。克制和激情结合的背德感，真的是狠狠上头了
同性恋这块对我而言一直就是个自然的存在 我会换位思考一下 大概能够感知了 事实是 我没有 我没有那样的境况便也无法领悟到他们所处的各种境地 本想本能说“抱歉”但却不知这二字缘何出口？
怎么感觉是剧版里的重新拼成电影，还是我记错了，感觉都看过啊
温柔的人之间总能产生很多很多很多的人间清新剂
影片开头，女主乘车去阿姨家，随声听的音乐响起后，一道光掠过她的脸上，音乐是她的救赎。后来，女主认识玛丽卡后，她们一同弹奏钢琴，影片用大量钢琴曲来展示两人关系。整部电影有个始终没有出现但影响巨大的人物～玛丽卡的母亲，一个在她六岁就消失的女人。最后，希望女主和玛丽卡在一起的人不要悲伤，结尾有反转，有反转，有反转。
演的实在快进去也看不下去，特别是二人同框。单独一个人还能看一点点。爱情片最怕两个主角无任何化学反应。用镜更是iphone水平……快进之下竟然还看到了bug和穿帮…这…
大概就是做个正常人就是世俗吧。。那为啥结局这样搞。。不好
没办法理解宗教人的信仰。。。。两位女主真配，爱时的眼神给个高分。

7.5/10。两个人关系的试探、拉扯、升温还蛮细腻的，但大部分时候我处于一个“我不理解大受震撼”的状态。远离邪教再谈恋爱好吗！M还让J也结婚这样她们在新世界就可以永远在一起（？）M满年龄了就被安排结婚，也没上大学吧，迅速有了孩子 每天开荒做饭洗衣服。看家里那个小男孩推测M姐姐也是这样的，可能巴不得妹妹跟她一样，sisters forever。要是生活是这样也意识得到这不是自己想要的，也许只有舔舐曾经拥有的美好才能继续活下去。
东亚三个好同性恋的名额应该被史朗、贤二和小日向占完了吧。
