Max is a real jerk. A long time ago, the successful lawyer had turned over all the routine duties of family life to his wife Nathalie.His comfort and leisure time were a far greater priority. Sell the roadster and buy an efficient family car? No way!But then, Max’s fast-paced life suddenly screeches to a halt when Nathalie is hospitalized for several weeks with a complicated fracture.Alone with their two children and the dog he hates, Max quickly reaches the boiling point.As if having to play father was not bad enough, he is shocked to the core when he discovers passionate love letters written to his wife and signed “From G. in love”. Feeling that his life is slipping out of control, Max’s first impulse is to find out who his rival is. Then it dawns on him – could the way he has treated his wife be the reason why she has sought out another lover?Now Max attempts to see his situation from a different point of view. Last week he was ready to plan the yearly guys’ vacation he takes with his best buddy, but now things have changed.Max recognizes just how much he needs Nathalie’s humor, her organizing talent and her optimism, but also just how important to him she and his family really are. Max tries to discover the mysterious lover’s identity, but because of his new insight, he takes an additional step.Unfortunately, when he learns that the mystery man is Gregor, Max realizes that not only does the man have all those qualities - he is very attractive as well. His struggle to become a better husband and father suddenly becomes far more difficult.Hoping to knock Gregor out of the picture and get back in Nathalie’s good graces, Max makes an appointment with a successful life coach. But turning his life around is far more difficult than he had imagined.To make matters worse, Gregor turns out to be a loving, family-oriented man just what Nathalie needs. Max is desperate – he knows there is a real chance that he might lose Nathalie and the children.Willing to put everything on the line to keep his family intact, Max makes the biggest sacrifice of his life. Then something happens that is the very last thing he could have ever counted on…
比想象中喜欢 被诟病的冗长第一幕是最喜欢的部分 用马戏团奇幻世界建构出的阴暗童话 （去年看佐导在油管上算塔罗牌 今年读到卡尔维诺用塔罗牌创作《命运交叉的城堡》加上这部的倒吊牌 对曾经很排斥的塔罗牌产生了兴趣
哈哈哈，有趣到谈不上，一直挺替这些人着急的，最后才是老板该有的样子嘛，而阿拉伯人才是一个员工的角度该有的样子啊
看完也没什么值得回味细究的东西，就是一个名导演的作品看完罢了，没啥惊喜
8.2/10 这种故事必须是大起大落，必须是悲剧收束。影片的立项就注定了它的悲剧性。但我确实喜欢这种奇幻的故事，喷薄的张力。另马戏团的骗局总是让我想到费里尼，自然是互相造就。

影像考究且精致，但解构层面的表达不尽如人意。剥离了原版的内核，硬生生的灌注了吉尔莫德尔托罗的恶趣味作者风格。
没看过原版，但两个半小时的时长太拖沓！开头悬念，男主放火烧尸，中间回忆几度闪回，尽管有因有果，可男主性格有着说不出的别扭，感觉是剧本强行让他走向geek之路。《卡罗尔》两位女主几乎零互动！啊！宣传照骗人！
【我通灵，却只看到自己荒唐的野心】
妈耶..这无聊透顶的简单剧情 不过大魔王还是好美好美...
脆弱心理的下岗人员，心机婊的实习生，混乱的同事炮友网都让观众同情哈登。
没差那么多，就差一点点——骗老头失败、医生处翻脸本该是最高潮处却差一把火，否则起承转合会顺畅许多。另外就是简中译名非常不行还带误导性。
7分，摄影、服化道和表演很出色，视觉上非常漂亮，有40年代惊悚片的味道；但抛开技术来看，这就是个白手起家的简单故事
就说这个译名吧 一直在想谁是玉面谁是情魔 看困了给我
60/100 前面马戏团部分铺垫太臃肿，两年后的诈骗才是正题，而且没有什么惊艳之处，依旧是陀罗的黑暗哥特式的色调/服装/装饰/艺指/光影在支撑着，人物仅停留在疯魔之上，悲怆感被冲散（大魔王和鲁妮·玛拉居然近乎零对手戏啊，被这卡司骗到
本意是讽刺资本家，但是看前半段我只觉得员工一个比一个不靠谱，后半段的讽刺力度也很弱，真实的职场要比这部片子讽刺多了。
这也太长了，节奏慢，实在看不下去了。58分钟弃剧。
从看戏的变成了唱戏的，从旁观的变成了参与的，从二流戏子变成了下三流的怪物。偷鸡不成蚀把米，你欲情，我故纵。瞒天下所有人之心，藏不住低俗下烂的把戏。穿梭于世界上如行尸走肉，只为可怜的一点点爱，一点点名，一点点利。陀螺美学一次大行为爆炸，把戏与心理斗法过程好好看。玉兔cp只是个幌子，不过全方位被库珀帅到惨绝人寰，快来🌿我。
故事比较老套，结局中途就已经猜到了。有趣的元素很多，但最后呈现出的故事却有点无聊。心理医生的伤疤由来没有交代，老头究竟干过什么没有交代，pete的死到底是怎么回事没有交代。影片一开始的镜头就让人出戏，一个男人费力把一具用袋子装起来的尸体拖到屋子中间，翻进屋中间的坑里，然后……他点了把火把整个屋子烧了！？？？？你既然要烧屋子，你为什么还要挖坑，还要把尸体装袋，还要把它扔到坑里？？？你就直接点不就行了？
看一看中国互联网上遍地生长的大胃王吃播，畸形且阴森，行尸走肉一样麻木地啃噬食物，不自知表演自我伤害的同时，对自己也感到冷漠，回过头来再看陀螺此次经典翻拍，确实不太行，对吧。
太拖沓了，完全没必要拍成两个半小时，看完只让人想看原版
