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.
相爱很容易 相处很难
这跨年的氛围剧 前面真的过分甜！就真的好奇恋爱是如何一步步冷却的 它的转折点 关键事件是什么呢？ 在上帝视角下 不过就是生活这些细细碎碎 其实他俩都没错 也都为了彼此 可是人的感受就或许如了那句台词“ 感受比真实重要 ”。新年祝好～
除此之外电影真的讲的是在北京谈恋爱吗。感觉剪的短一点放在dy上播出比较合适，总感觉中国的导演们像是没谈过恋爱一样。跨年夜、看雪、北海道，浪漫不是辞藻的堆砌，但浪漫是什么我也不知道。
不记得上次看到这么无感的爱情片是什么时候了
以年为单位的恋爱，真好。生活中那些柴米油盐，真的很幸福。要多沟通，多交流
可笑吧，我们在一起一年，好像从来都不了解对方。
3分给女主，男主太老了，再怎么化妆也没有少年感
国产爱情片总是展现物质对爱情的阻力有多大，最后的和解也总是因为不用再为物质烦恼。借用一句评论，这样的故事我一天能编出十个。
情侣之间，你能度过三年之痒还是七年之痒？在这个快节奏的时代，爱情的新鲜感和保质期越来越短，在最初的心动褪去以后你还能度过哪怕是一年之痒吗？目前的速食爱情，一夜情过后或许就是冷却的热度和逐渐沉下去的通讯录列表，在浮躁的社会下有个人能和你吵一场以年为单位的架是难得的一件事吧。2021年经历了太多，郑州暴雨洪水以及疫情，在跨年的时候，和朋友看了这场温暖的电影，想着以后能像电影里那样布置一个舒服的小房子，养一只法斗，如果能还遇到一个不错的他，我们彼此相爱，偶尔争吵，能一起扛生活中的苦，没有比这个更好的事了。
跟朋友一起看的，向她那段电影行业的用研经历致敬。
最感动的地方竟然是旺财…其他我看得好累…手指皮都没得撕了…刚打完狂犬疫苗竟然在喝酒…“乖”PTSD了…
竟然电影里面主角用的是锤子手机，除了这个觉得亲切以外，电影本身真是平淡如水没啥意思。
从《三十而已》到这部，两位的化学反应一直良好。
很肤浅，老套的剧情，男主就因为看到女主一个笑容，就无脑喜欢她宠她，前半小时强行撒糖！因为男主工作忙，有女性合伙人，女主没有安全感，争执，吵架！2022年还有这种老梗！所有人物都很标签，没有深挖当代男女爱情的痛点。最后结局也是莫名其妙，强行回忆杀，强行洗白，按头哭，女主缺乏安全感这个问题并没有解决，男女主怎么就和好了？人物成长在哪？
分手的时候还挺好看，但是最后的复合确实太理想化了，其实男女各自有各自的生活才是常态，在两个人关系渐行渐远的时候表现的太平淡了，没有深入的讨论有点可惜
需要安全感
怎么说呢，不能说没一点浪漫的感觉，估计小说文字充满想象力的表达会更动人些，只是转换成丰富的电影语言后，这个浪漫的力度就差口气。撑起电影感觉更多的是男主主角之前“三十而立”的CP人设。另外，片名改的有点长，也没太值得体味的寓意，如果作为贺岁片，看看无妨，还是有动人之处。
奔着养鱼cp去的，但剧情略空洞。就临睡前的电影吧。
海报可以改改喜庆点。虽然注水，但是就当三十而已的番外看看。
无功无过的爱情片，展示了热恋、疏离、分手、复合的过程。提醒自己，以后等CC工作忙碌起来后，还是要适应那种落差，都是正常的。都要平衡好工作和生活，要信任对方、经常沟通。
