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.
挺有趣的，即可以看到当时美国社会又可看到情景剧的幕后工作（也可以看做话剧舞台剧的幕后工作吧）
广告大片的气质，疫情+人工智能，索德伯格真会玩儿！
我去扒评论了
【3星半】她想用那部付出了一生的电视剧来挽救她的婚姻，终以破碎失败落幕，观看体验和《塔米•菲的眼睛》如出一辙，建议艾伦•索金还是老老实实做黄金编剧吧，想表达很多但没表达好。
Lucy just wanna move on, and she did it.
任何有关AI、监控、编程、大数据之类的题材我都无法感觉到神秘感和恐惧，这可能是我的“黄金年代”症候群吧，也可能是因为我真的很讨厌现实生活里接触到的那些程序员。作为惊悚片，本片不够恐怖，算是个放大版的“桌面电影”吧。一开头女主的人群恐惧症就足够让我smh了，程序员的厌世和第欧根尼那种厌世完全不同，数据飞升什么的真的很不浪漫。
6.5分。这算是新时代的《后窗》吗？整个电影前半段还算有点意思，但后半段是什么鬼？社恐属性突然就没了，然后就开始暴力怼人了？ 这都啥和啥啊？？这AI音响靠人工来处理问题，这得处理多少数据啊？ 这种能记录所有信息得设备家里可不敢放呢~~~
以小见大，还是有当代视角的，所以索金才会对准这段往事，你要说可看性那比漫威的电视剧还是强多了
纪录片的方式，追述一段冷战时代广播秀的往事。
一般般，心疼Lucy，但确实是个boss ass bitch
艾伦·索金的剧本能力是可以的，不过导演能力实在是？
精彩极了（为什么脑内哈维尔巴登和帕西诺的脸开始逐渐融为一体…
时间线很混乱，叙事也平淡，就看看Nicole养眼吧
大概是疫情场景下看到的有趣的片了……小品，小剧情。看看装修也挺好的😆
要耐心看到后半段，前面部分太多线头了，让人觉得混乱又理不清，但到后面会发现这一切混乱都指向一个聪明又美丽但却蒙蔽的女人。妮可基德曼太棒了，她完美塑造了这个女人，一个极力想要相信谎言，把所有焦虑投射给除了自己丈夫之外的周围所有人的女人。可以说妮可的演技拯救了这部电影。
P.S1：三个干脏活的应变能力实在太差，2022年能让一个语音助手整不会了，你喊一声小度小度滚犊子不就完了。
强迫症和社恐演绎的也太细节太可爱了吧hh
两位主演演的好，故事结尾的一行字完全没有说服力。
妮可基德曼大概是复制不了(前)竞争对手芮妮的盛势了。这路角色她已经演过很多了。再加上今年有打击命题作文的趋势，估计提名都悬啊。
抑郁症+白作+女quan师+黑人男友+挑战quan威=流量密码？烂片！反胃！
