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.

Feeling that his life is slipping out of control, Max’s first impulse is to find out who his rival is.

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…
烂片有技术层面和心理层面的，这部片子算是全占了，开头的语言让我以为是八月，但之后打破预期一路下跌，浮夸难看，情感层面故事太过差劲，感情抡不圆，跟着时间走…
片头这彩色全景拍的和商场里卖电视的地方放的风景片似的，还有到处不合时宜的bgm 真的想说就这呀
可能是看得不太认真？很多情绪我没有看出来，感受不到。
装腔作势地跟拍一段无逻辑的运动，随后的大全景自曝其片场实质，电影小镇级别的置景完全僵死，人物在各种精致构图的钳制下如同木偶。为什么要对标《罗马》？几乎和国产片水平差不多，报奥斯卡之前不如先来春节档走一圈，让大伙看看北爱版《我和我的父辈》
黑白历史，彩色戏剧。人们总爱怀念历史，总爱留恋家乡，总爱在不安的时候浪漫一下。#6.5分#
for the ones who stayed
贵国的故事要是能拍 不知道会比这令人心碎多少倍
无论摄影，布景，构图，转场，还是演员的表情，肢体表演，都很棒，但也都透着刻意的设计和机心（也可以说虚伪），把这些放到一部讲述童年往事的电影里，让人瞬间出戏。
pop说，“你是贝尔法斯特15区的巴迪，无论你去哪里变成什么样，这永远是事实。” 所以故乡是离开故乡以后的身份证，也是漂泊在外的一份安全感，像牵着风筝的线一样。好像很多导演最终会拍一下自己的故乡，让我想起贾科长说的回望故乡赋予我们获取看世界的最初的经验。
喜欢孩子和他的爷爷奶奶在一起的对话！画面很精致，但总有种在滤镜下画面有点奇怪的感觉！ 老人看着看着自己的儿孙们离开贝尔法斯特：go, go now, don’t look back!I love u son ,萌生出一些感动！其实我们的一生一直都在告别！
导演的童年回忆改编 60年代宗教信仰导致北爱尔兰内乱 有人留守 有人离开 走上不同的人生道路 有罗马的影子 也是黑白电影 剧情太平淡了 冲突也不够激烈 并没有觉得时代变化对小人物产生了影响 而且用小孩子的视角看上去 更显得没有事件感和年代感 总之 我不喜欢 看得昏昏欲睡
谁说黑白没有好滤镜，这不就是光鲜亮丽的黑.肯尼斯指导的片子看一部骂一部啊.
刚开始的调度让我想打一星，和罗马比就是个渣渣，后面统一的孩童视角，离开故乡的情绪也能让人感动。最大的收获就是发现性感的多南也会演戏了。但是仍然在提名里是最差一级的，比理查德好那么一点
天真可爱的儿子，十分恩爱偶尔吵架的父母，爸爸负责讲大道理带全家娱乐，妈妈负责教正直做人，再加上两位睿智老顽童和欢乐的姨妈一家，真的是理想家庭了。有这样的家无论在哪无论环境如何都不会迷失自己。
个人较为无感的状态之一源于我本就没有归属的漂泊，但严格来说剧情的设置也撑不起离开和留下这所有选择的症结，另外演技真的就一般，观看后的记忆点竟都是配角
私人乡愁故事。go, go now, don't look back, I love you
工薪阶层家的小男孩的成长故事，亲情和懵懂的小爱情。黑白调调配着那些有年代感的歌曲音乐，视觉听觉上还是很享受的。不过大概是过于追求画面的极致了，反而犯了中国电视剧常见的毛病：街区暴乱再乱，发型妆容不乱。
小男主角可爱又幽默，染上黑白色也不能和罗马相比，太过匠气
把一个告别故乡的故事建立在宗教冲突的背景下，给留下的人一个离开的理由，给离开的人一个安心的原因，给迷途上的人一条僻静的道路。身处万里之外的我，虽无法感触其中的挣扎与无奈，但也从中得到了对在不久后离开故乡的些许慰藉。配乐是艺术。
想起狗脸的岁月和昇哥的《美好的哲学课》
