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.
看评论，我觉得现在的观众，尤其是85后已经被反转片养刁了
额剧情真的无厘头 但是为了Acapulco打个五星吧 SH home
说实话观影的感受非常不好，铺垫了很多，却又不给出答案，让观众心里有些发堵。也许这正是电影想要的效果吧。在没有明确的表示下，我只能按照电影镜头里的都是事实来思考。那就是最初发生的事情确实是巧合，而女主因为愧疚也没有去兑那张支票。后面女主家人身上的遭遇留给观众正反两种想象空间，有可能是巧合，也有可能是作家精心设计的复仇。最后一幕透露作家与女主妹妹的关系，似乎让作家精心设计的可能性更大了一些。依稀记得片头作家老婆曾邀请女主带妹妹来玩这么一幕，可见作家一家对女主的家庭背景是很有了解的。尤其反复强调作家对以牙还牙以眼还眼的论调，让人更加笃定这里面并非巧合。也许吧，开放结局就是留下那么多想象的空间。
自大且不自知的庸才，拿着几个低级反转梗当成宝贝一样反复地用，在电影节揠苗助长的造势下，还真骗到了一群喜欢解读“烧脑”“隐喻”的“影评人”。这种只适合放在三分钟解说中的电影能受捧真是时代的悲哀。
如果是昆丁导，五星没跑 ，话痨，番茄汁，突突突，满屏硬汉都具备，可惜了。不过还是给四星，影片质感和剧情都不错，总结：骗子任何时候都别信，杀手除外，因为职业和诚信。
作家智商高情商低，女助手开放妩媚惹人误会。
什么啊是，全篇最好看只有女主指着太阳不要升起，然后主角三人在黎明时候奔跑那段。后面男主在风俗店做完哭着讲他多爱女主很扯淡，太隔应了，有病一样。
结尾还是有点出乎意料的，我一直以为一直在铺垫作家的死，为作者/路易抹杀做铺垫。开头一堆人惊呼closter，我还以为他被luisiana干掉了，结果.... 女主漂亮，作家贼像Al Pacino
影片并无宏大感和深刻性，但自始至终总萦绕着一股压抑感，上一次听到海浪声感觉如此压抑还是海边的曼彻斯特。
但此时，一个刺客的到来，引发了警察局的全面的混乱...
三星半。Tim Roth把一个不主动，不负责，无所事事的中年富二代刻画得入木三分
无所谓但就是很喜欢，除了最后医院的段落。羡慕这种自在随意的电影感和表演，这群人演的可真屌。
这部与本届威尼斯同场竞技的《暗处的女儿》有意想不到的交集，同样是（反）度假电影类型，同样以一位深藏不露的主人公展开叙事。导演将主人公塑造成陷于加缪式存在主义危机的角色，再次使出《慢性》中用过的隐藏叙事关键的手法，在反常规的情节里操控着观众的注意力。一闪而过的暴力刻画并未揭开墨西哥社会问题的症结，连其后的监狱戏也稍显潦草。生硬出现的动物镜头并非高级隐喻，有偷懒嫌疑；最后的揭秘毫无必要，立刻拉低了影片的好感度。
总是想逃离 却一直在这里 / 失眠就会熬夜
总体来说看的还算有共鸣，尤其蛮喜欢北村在风俗店的独白，插曲有蘑菇帝国的東京还有两人讨论rad 我已经满足了，真的有点花恋的感觉呢……
一个很有意思的故事。一位女孩与作家的故事，当亲人相继遇害，是意外还是有预谋的报复？作家就是凶手，从他向楼下使眼色暗示女主自杀的那一刻，就暴露了他的内心，他一直处心积虑的给别人心理暗示，以达成他的报复目的。
来看Maca！气死我了 搞半天自己去死了 一直以为开头是把逼男撂下去的！
有部分尚可的动作，节奏，画面质感，镜头语言等，前半部分铺垫稍长，且对后半部分的塑造作用有限，总体归于尚可一看。
虽然结尾的“陈述“让大部分点评觉得多余。但过程的缓缓延展已是不错。无望的沉默与郁郁和周围人形成鲜明比对，让我还是忍不住想到，沉默的就是会被无视。被绑匪，被家人。
3星半，很喜欢的度假题材电影，放松自由的度假却伴随着隐藏的沉痛秘密，以及面临着死亡的危机，意外与命运共同袭来，无人知晓，无所依存（自认为改成渣男的情节会更有意思一点 【立青映画字幕组翻译】
