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.
apple google amazon都没想着冠名赞助一下这部电影吗？语音助手从来没以这么正面的形象出现在电影中过吧。。最恐怖的看来还是人心
这年头还有人信奉以身相许？啧啧啧，真是当代“僵尸”
拍喜剧的演员说我们拍的又不是万尼亚舅舅，这部拍片场比滨口龙介拍得好玩多了。
化妆真的堪比特效，返老还童了（in a good way)
后面可能开始精彩吧，看了35分钟真坚持不下去了。
剧情说实话并不怎么好看，全是男女主演在飙戏，真的很过瘾
这部电影怎么说呢，索德伯格对镜头的运用以及女主角的表演是非常精彩非常好的，但是剧情又是很平庸很肤浅，完事后没啥可回味挖掘的。主要着力点在社恐黑人极客妹不敢出门这个人设上，然后她发现了一桩谋杀案的音频证据逼得她不得不出门，然后卷入是非，差点把命搭上。剧情属于一马平川没有多大转折的，也没什么悬疑，都不用你猜就会交代凶手是谁以及他要怎么对付女主。全片的精彩部分在于女主出门时刻那一段镜头描写，通过演员的步态以及旋转的镜头把女主那种畏缩恐惧的心理状态描写了出来，这段可以说大师级的镜头运用。
与时俱进、优雅流畅的类型佳作，思维-意识-阐述的现代媒介/人类行知学标杆。窗口视讯间的友邻是相互拯救的彼此，人工智能的指令是呼唤求救的讯息，桌面通知是大脑优先级判定的进化更迭。人们自由穿梭在破碎空间后的虚拟世界，网路的便利却比疫情更能封闭现实的活动范围，它加固了现有安全稳定的秩序统治，也解放了人类使其拥有化身造物主的全能视角，在这个当下比任何时代都更熟知并贴近窥见监视资本主义的权力集团、游荡在光明黑暗面的两端。这些魔爪埋藏在侵犯用户权益的长长的使用须知中，也躲避在判定用户现实主体的习惯喜好中，更尾随于用户行动位置的人身安全中。人们在零和一的世界中得到升级进化，却被更为广阔的恐惧阴霾所笼罩，让本就惊恐受伤的个体进一步暴露在病菌培养皿中，唯有迈向现实的勇气才能带领我们去打破单线程运算的程序闭环。
访谈+7天戏中戏，看完反应，就这？浪费时间。
几个感想 1.当今戏剧舞台上，除了“中国人”就是“美国人”，性格特征无需区分，立场必须明确。 2.艾伦索金对于文字的迷恋与玩弄，也算是编剧的原初创作力之一了，文字的所指与能指关系，哲学气息。 3.唯有在戏剧舞台上才能感受到感情的女主，倒也真是浪漫过头。 4.所谓演员，到底拥有多么恐怖的可塑性，可被完完全全的样板戏化，也可完完全全的被间离。
这种标准冲奥传记片，还是关于好莱坞自己之前那些破事的，我真的看腻了，索金现在是不是越来越执着于奥斯卡了，连着来导演，剧本打磨都没有以前好了，机关枪台词加几个倒叙，也不新鲜了啊。妮可表演不喜欢，但还是看出来不错，巴登和西蒙斯这奥提真就没啥必要了
虽然糙了点，还是吊打《窗里女人》。索德伯格这两年状态回升，前一部《切勿擅动》更好。
Literally cliche that could be happening everywhere in the world with a totally opposite ending. Fighting back for freedom and democracy is a fantasy, just as the final scene of the film where nobody wears mask under the morning sunshine.
3.5 “i navigate male egos for a living, bud”
7.4(3⃣️)，疫情背景下互联网时代特殊的后窗偷窥者，以精简的有效的方式呈现于密闭空间中，用声音营造恐惧，再展开一场猫鼠游戏一样的噩梦博弈。晃动的手持镜头和倾斜视角将恐惧感通过画面投射至我们身处的大数据围剿中，而影片巧妙又毫不费力地呈现了一个酣畅又骇人的故事——对抗自我，对抗权力和体系，对抗真实的恶
艾伦索金还是有想法的，至少不是单纯的走马观花式的人物传记，一条线采用人物访谈+闪回的形式展示了主角几个重要的人生历程，一条线聚焦在一周时间的情景喜剧创作，不过除了结构上的些许花样影片整体缺乏闪光点，剪辑混乱又臃肿无趣。
摄影棚之突发状况的一周，看过发现想拍好一部情景剧并且成功的剧集并没有那么容易，电影最后着力点还是有些浅，妮可还是贡献了很好的演出，但电影本身而言就中规中矩
提到好莱坞，与之挂钩的总是阴谋、坠落、糜烂，这部电影通过真实的人和事展现了好莱坞人较为端正的一面。身在尘世间，不可避免地受各种利益的制约，有不尽人意之处，有各种困惑与烦恼，甚至还有意识形态的桎梏，但这位女演员内心执着、沉着应对，将自己的目标逐一落实，最后成为一位极具影响力的大演员。尽管片尾的字幕告诉观众，几年后这对男女主人公离异了，但从电影看，他们对爱情也是认真的。
这类好莱坞往事题材似乎都是这种节奏：一件小事中女主感受到男主出轨，并在此期间不停寻求验证，但男主的各种做法都是向着女主，然而最后高潮来了，男主也承认了出轨。妮可巴登提名最佳男女演员毫无质疑，但是故事的套路化也很是焦心。个人觉得巴登最有希望得奖。
我觉得挺好，第一次看见把疫情这个要素用的这么妥帖的电影。楼上的声音也很好，包括各种受到惊吓的设定——我懂！另外不觉得这是“桌面电影”，这片子还是更现世的。它的路径是“向外”的，像女主要从房间走出（这不也是一个远离电脑屏幕的过程吗？），总觉得桌面电影的靶向相对地更向内，是文件夹似的一瓣一瓣的深入。二者差别还是很大的。令我特别感动的也是这个向外的过程，一个深受心理障碍伤害的人决定去揭露另一个女性受到的伤害（虽然这个剧情在很多人看来没什么大不了的），这过程中需要多少勇气！尤其是在了解到对方所受的伤害时，她的恐惧也再次被唤醒。索德伯格真正拍出了“克服”，及克服中的恐惧，它与很多家庭片里的“和解”不同，不是虚假的，而是真实的。
