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.
7分。剧情走向和反转都在意料之中，除了真正的强奸犯这个设置。这十年来，女性议题在印度的社会类型片里占比越来越大，也体现了我们邻居的社会意识和公民意识在慢慢变好。
很久没看过印度电影了，或者说是几乎没有完整的看过一部印度电影，如果贫民窟的百万富翁算印度电影的话，自那以后就没看过了，百万富翁之前都没印象了。星期四，还可以吧，除了一些人物刻画比较单薄和没有说服力外，其他都还可以，最主要是没有忽然冒出来的歌舞，矮子里拔将军，有进步是好事，值得表扬一下。
主角和Ron之间的各种互动其实很戳我，他虽然是机器人但比主角身边的同学都更像一个真人；在设定和逻辑上其实是有瑕疵的，不过整体脉络很清晰，剧情有优有劣吧，确实后半段剧情有点牵强结局意料之中；映射现实的同时也还是留有很大的想象力空间，电影还是很好看的
不管怎么样结尾有一个案例被判死刑
前半剧情比较慢，印度的公检法体质臃肿缓慢早有耳闻。悬疑反转剧情还是太平庸。
黨呐喊都聽不到，無動於衷的時候，只能采取極端行動了。之所以極端是因爲是唯一的出路。
7.0 还是一样的故事，但这样的“发声”片不嫌多。
感谢中国共产党我国是不发达国家最早实现男女平等的国家。
很类型片了，印度议题下包着非常西方的外壳，虽然很多细节经不起推敲，太过幼稚和情绪化。但已经在讨论了，再往后不知道是否会进化的出人意料。
扯个闲话，幼儿园还是别太乖，闹一点老师就会第一个就放出去吧。嫌吵，耽误事。。。。。
一部意义远远大于电影本身的电影 尤其是结束后的黑白字幕出来时 深深让我感到作为印度女性的无奈与悲哀 而这样的问题也远不止只在印度发生 女主很勇敢 令人佩服
昨日周四，支持五星。本来觉得结尾太过温和、理想，转而回想，也只有在电影中才能得偿所愿。保留一丝光明，为这人间的悲苦。
2022年3月20日存想看，4月3日下载，4月4-5日看完。剧情的表面是一位印度女老师绑架所有孩子的故事，但是深度下面则是再次敲击了印度女性权益的问题。故事的套路借鉴了很多电影，但是结果不算俗套。只是女总理来现场这里的逻辑有点崩溃。这是在疫情状况下拍完的一部电影，很不容易的印度小品电影。存于硬盘8/其他地区电影/2022看过。
那一瞬间有被震惊到起鸡皮
印度电影的bgm有点魔性了，剧情一开始抛出了太多悬念，以至于后面就是人物悉数登场，简单的答疑，没有了叙事。没有不好看，也没有特别难看。生肉版增加了太多笑点😂
一直搞不懂为什么印度男的那么喜欢强奸，既然这样犯了强奸罪就该判死刑。
导演的叙事能力很欠缺，拖节奏，情节推动很刻意，演员的演技也比较生硬。。。唯有的我比较喜欢房子的装修风格，带有一点温情的Casa Cook 侘寂风。
主题很好，反转设定也很好，但填充的细节不足够丰满，总觉得哪里差了一口气，所有出场人物好像都是必须的，但没有人得到了设定之外的骨肉支撑
没懂前几天这动画怎么冲到8分以上的，这么套路化又浮夸的剧情和设定，让人尴尬得抠脚。主创想讽刺的东西太多了，又只能用浮于表面的形式强行表达，呈现的效果就是整部动画里除了主角机器人(不是主角本人)之外全员智障。剧情推动看似有逻辑，但硬伤更多。这动画唯二亮点是最后服务器场景的设计和没有强行大团圆，除此之外这就是部在及格线边缘徘徊的无聊动画。
很多不合理，合格的商业片，希望有机会……算了……
