For 27-year-old Ben (Josh Lawson), life couldn’t be better. A well paid job, friends, parties, girls and nothing to tie him down. But when he is invited back to his old school to join several other ex-students including Alex (Rachael Taylor) and Jim (Ed Kavalee) in talking about their personal achievements, something goes wrong. Ben is the only speaker not to be asked a question by the school kids. This triggers a year of soulsearching and looking for answers in all the wrong places.
From his best friend Andy (Christian Clark) whose solution is that they both take another holiday, to his mentor Sam (Lachy Hulme) who loans him a sports car in the belief that there’s nothing like excessive speed to resolve emotional turmoil. Not even Ben’s father (Rob Carlton) or friends Nick (Daniel Henshall) and Em (Felicity Ward) can offer much in the way of meaningful guidance.
Of course, it’s not easy seeking enlightenment in nightclubs, or on the ski fields of New Zealand, and when you start dating a Russian tennis star things can get really complicated. As the poster boy for a generation desperate to tick every box, Ben begins to suspect that the meaning of life may well reside in the things he's already doing - and a girl he used to know.
多让人肃然起敬！
最近两年印度各种觉醒的片子拍的都挺好
被片名耽误的好电影，不要拿误杀2这样的烂片来做对比，至少也该是跟迫在眉梢一个级别。印度QJ案频发的现状已经让人望而却步，电影以此元素开展的剧情之紧凑完全让人挪不开眼，这一次没有歌舞，没有超长片场，层层递进，高潮频出，真相浮出水面之时就是你大感震撼之际
故事太悲催，她的人生充满失误与伤痕。★★★/6.8
和前作一样，抛出一道无解题，然后对同一个情绪点进行集中猛攻，这种方法确实是适合颁奖季的。然而芬沙伊德是个执行力过强的导演，滥用对比，每场戏的目的都过于明显，人物状态生硬得不像话。当然这也和原本迷你剧体量的剧本有关，等到电影后半段，情节突然增速，一堆没头没脑的单薄角色接不住情绪戏，故事就彻底陷入胡言乱语了。
像韩影那类意义大于电影本身的电影，聚焦印度的社会问题，新闻媒体和官僚体制的探讨也只是浅层次的，更多是女性的控诉，以及这一控诉也因为前奏过长而显得无力，结局更是过于理想化了。角色必须伟光正的规则也使得影片走向了模式化的类型片，没有被逼入绝境的疯狂似乎就失去了批判的力量。当影像之外的观众没有看到行为只听到了枪响，也就等于把真相告诉了观众，因此展开的情绪是多余的，这也是电影的局限性。
女主演得好，故事有点狗血，不太能理解女主，为什么不说实话。7/10
昨天才看了她的生死时速，还很靓丽，今天再看这部感觉是俩人了。
好故事，但却不是一部好电影。但是片子的诚意在这儿。
如果没那么多慢镜头回放就能更好了！这手法现在实在太过时了………
对于犯过错的人来说，社会只是个大点的监狱，而偏见是围困他们的铁笼。7
一方面剧情狗血，一方面女主深沉内敛的表演和人物性格，真的一点割裂。尤其是镜头语言上突然的暖光突然的虚化，真的就是风格不统一。
这部影片的作用究竟怎么样不得而已，不奢求改变，起码能够被注意到。
印度所需要的觉醒，远远不止一个星期四。
因为印象更加深刻
8 women have been raped in our country.
为什么他们非要说英语啊，这英语听的我头疼，印度片说印度语不行吗～
对Naina的一句话印象深刻: Do we just deserve a fucking candle march? 当悲剧发生的时候，政府又做了什么呢？不负责的警察，惩罚力度欠缺的法律，对受害者的忽视，只追表面报道误导大众的媒体……
中间剧情实在有些幼稚，但主题鲜明，还是值得一看
