Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.
果然是年末惊喜多，关于爱情的那些事被导演和编剧融进了台词和情节中，充分融合上海的市井气和知识分子的小情调，观感上很舒服，方言很加分。三位女性角色的塑造非常出彩，坏掉的高跟鞋用的巧妙，饭桌和画廊两段对话戏写的太猜彩，结尾老乌的故事既大方致敬了原版电影，还巧妙点了题，最后以看不懂原版电影而收场不落俗，没陷入自我感动的怪圈，作为处女作完成度非常好，推荐一看。（8.5/10）
最感动的是竹林里少女时期的妈妈被女儿拉着手往前走，一步步变成现在的妈妈，然后走向姥姥和七大姑八大姨……过于真实，多少人就是这样一路走来。其实理解甚至希望会有越来越少的观众对这类题材感同身受，因为意味着正在有越来越多的路，可以与心中的野兽同行。
平安夜太适合看这个电影了。太能体会老白了，哈哈哈哈哈哈哈，断舍离，不都是在上课嘛，活到老，学到老。我也想像老乌一样，跟朋友喝一场，然后安然死去（不过我好像没朋友…现在的唯一目标：健康活到四十，然后死去，捐献遗体。无双太美了～而且居然有红拂夜奔！还是要相信神话，为情绪加一星吧。
五个人在餐桌上一同吃饭的那场戏，互相试探，互相暗讽，言语游戏，配乐节奏一气呵成。
Turning Red用红熊猫来隐喻女孩的初潮真的好棒啊，尤其是作为一部动画片，用这种方式轻快地讲述这种题材，皮克斯真的好有心！妈妈辈对其（性）压抑，但美美选择与其和解，选择坦然接受自己的身体，成为一个女人并不是一件需要可耻的事情。不过其实就算不完全是隐喻也无所谓啦，包括初恋、追星等一系列事情也涵盖了这一叫“青春的烦恼”的灾难。作为一部北美华裔题材，本本土中国人其实都很能理解其中那种中国式完美家庭教育的辛酸，相信北美的华裔一定会非常感同身受吧
真的好“新”，每次看到那些国产悬浮片，再去看看同时间国外讲述都市生活的叙事，都会想如果不悬浮的话，那究竟到底应该如何去表述我们当下的生活呢，这部电影给出了一种答案，虽然明显法租界的独栋洋房、外滩18号，离普通打工人的生活也有点遥远，但是你会相信确实有这样的人生活在这片土地上。
这是一个妈妈不让我去BigBang演唱会的故事。
影片设计充满了巧思，很多隐喻，双关和有趣的细节。
拍中年人的没有那么“纯粹”的爱欲，很轻盈很聪明。名叫“爱情神话”，但电影中含爱情量又不高，跟普通人生活中“生活/爱情”的配比量差不多，由此电影的格外落地，不悬浮，真。导演私自夹带了一些元素：“红拂”杂货店、“夜奔”酒吧、“艺辉国际学校”，卖电子烟作为艺术从业者的副业，一个山西人迁移了自己与男友在上海旅居的经历用于创作，十分“私房电影”了。尤其喜欢最后聚众看碟的场景，大家先是正襟危坐，而后昏昏欲睡肚皮饿，揭示的真理是：爱情固然有神话性，但它亦兼有瞬时性，留不住太久的才美丽。导演在学校里学习、欣赏的就是费里尼的《爱情神话》，然后这么学院派的一个高贵的名字配上这部一个如此生活世俗的内容，十分有张力，四两拨千斤，就像好学生交出的一份模仿大师的优秀习作，结构精巧，工于制作，也能看出导演身上的大师天赋。
为人生的一小把糖，排了很长的队。为青春的一次邂逅，吹了很久的牛。没抢过剩饭的野猫是不完整的，没开过画展的杂家是不艺术的。不管神话还是笑话，总有人愿意陪你说话，不管上坡还是下坡，总有人愿意为你颠簸。离的太近就看不清楚，离的太远又变得模糊，灵与欲之间的距离，信以为真的人先迈出那一步。邵艺辉的沪上爱情本帮菜：下坡路也要穿jimmy choo，借一晚肉身也得尊重艺术，犯了错也敢理直气壮挽回，当不成艺术家也得开画展，拆开看没啥意思，摆在一起就立体了。邵艺辉善于捕捉场景和台词的多义性，有过短暂起飞的瞬间，但整体还是处于踮起脚往上够的状态。尤其是配乐太扣分，如同幕布一般把情绪间隔开，电影变成了情景剧。结尾处观众成为被观看的对象，影像的景深立刻打通：她们看不懂我们，是因为我们总把爱情当成神话。老乌的原型也许是李春平。
有爱情，有“神话”，也有《爱情神话》，但唯独不是爱情神话，就像徐峥的台词那样，仿佛是生活的笑话，而本质是对人到中年生活状态的细致描述，是对琐碎日常的高度总结，是由迷影元素串联的人生散文诗，些许彷徨迷茫，些许执著冲动，并借此辐射到一类都市群体，达成心灵共鸣。全程沪语为影片注入浓厚生活气息，不间断的上海街景赋予作为都市轻喜剧的本片以雅致小资情调。离婚局是最精彩的一场群戏，不按套路出牌仍旧满满爆点。片名大忽悠，不是直给的主流喜剧，而是富有嚼劲的暗爽佳作，甚至导演的电子烟梗用得都是那么精妙。最后想问一句，导演还卖电子烟吗，现在买还来得及不？
应该叫上海神话，也不是不好看吧，当喜剧看我还是笑的挺开心。只不过非沪语区的人确实是无法理解这种市侩又做作的生活，而且徐峥演男主给我一种哄抬猪价的感觉ˊ_>ˋ
北有柔情史，南有爱情神话，绝妙的文本，精彩的调度，演员到位，角色设计有对比而自然，格局超越华语电影太多太多，让我们触摸到了生活。
有作为工艺品的闪光点 合格的喜剧 但还是有些遗憾 想夸赞很用心 但努力的方向有些偏差
这部动画哪里辱华了，这就是大部分普通传统中国父母缩影，盲目、专制、控制欲，这个世界上本就没有完美的父母，但他们也永远在付出、陪伴和爱。但凡说点国人的缺点就看作是辱华，是民族的不自信。
怎么能差成这样：視角混亂、鏡頭語言一塌糊塗、音樂濫用、美學東拼西湊、各種段子和抖機靈、導演功力為0全靠演員演技支撐。
因为小贾去看的，结果很惊喜的电影。台词有趣，又颇具温情。比心倪虹洁姐姐！（顺便小贾弟弟演的美妆达人敲可爱，支持男孩子化妆）想做一只快乐的野猫。
几场群戏都很惊艳。观众顺着老白眼光来到展览馆看到李小姐和格洛瑞亚在一起宛若知心好友聊天时，老白荒谬的像个外人，那一幕简直了。
演员盘子搭得太好了，气氛非常小资，对话非常伍迪艾伦，观影过程妙不可言。这种叨逼叨的沪上中年爱情我愿意再看一百集。
唉，中年男人的困顿看得自己难受。爱情确实没有神话，友情一定有。配乐太考究了，没有想到之前打了个低🌟的八仙饭店，在电影里插入这么好听。
