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.
在韩国片里拍的算一般的，但影片中要传递的价值观是在社会不是非黑即白，为了目的可以游走在规则的边缘甚至打破原则？或许吧
抠图效果明显，作为童话大王世界男一的皮皮鲁没什么存在感，不过小孩子还是挺喜欢看的。
这是郑渊洁作品首部改编电影。
很简单的童话故事，电影院里的小孩子基本上都能看得懂，大人也能看得进去，只是里面那个“绿茶”小女孩的角色安排有点过了，完全没必要用大人的视角来如此描绘一个小女生。
小崔和后备箱的关系就是 他生来就是会被关后备箱然后被拍下让我流鼻血的 韩国人 你们真的很懂😳
2.近年来韩国政治题材的电影质量真的很差，《辩护人》《恐怖直播》这种每个镜头每个台词都发人深省的影片已好久没出现了；
说实在的，我是冲着宇植去看的，可是我感觉自己没看懂甚至以为看到了删减版…很多地方都说不通啊…唉……是我的原因？
好喜欢这种平静叙事，节奏紧凑的的调调，叛逆的警察真是自带爽感，还有那张面无表情但是神他妈像sehun的脸。
不是吧不是吧这电影竟然上不了七分？这不比那什么你好李焕英强多了！我忍不住打满分！鲁西西小朋友又好看又可爱 ，剧情也都挺有趣的不低智，反正童心永远在的我很喜欢。
不痛不痒的剧情，之前有看到说反转什么的，看的时候还挺期待，结果怎么拍得那么平淡啊……
男主卧底卧得……不知道的人都是傻子吧😂总的来说剧情没有那么吸引人，凑合看吧
很难得把一个日本小说拍的本土化 而且没有崩坏～ 故事讲的很完整～ 看得清楚，细节可以查询其他人的影评～
三星半，好像过于复杂又过于简单的故事，再加上镜头节奏，最后更让我云里雾里了…
朴刚尹说，如果我是恶人，那我就要把所有比我更坏的人都抓进去。我忽然明白，警察都是站在这个世界上黑和白之间的灰色地带最偏黑的那一条线上才能保护我们
有一部分韩国警察既不做白，也不当黑，游离于警察与黑帮之间，警匪不分，为了破案不惜一切代价。像“延南会”之类的组织应该是存在的。
鲁西西好美，小时候看小说的时候没觉得来着……
郑渊洁爷爷永远站在我们这一边，但是电影拍的真不好
无聊的故事，无聊的执导，无聊的表演。低端韩国商业片流水线产物，演员们之间的配合也毫无化学反应，每个人都是一副赶紧拍完好收工回家的样子。感觉赵震雄和朴熙顺选角互换一下可能更合适，不过这种片子嘛，无所谓了。
整体来说一般，世界不是非黑即白，灰色地带很多，不过大多数都是权衡利弊的产物
看到最后我睡着了，好像，我的童年是没有郑渊洁的。
