Set on the cusp of the 19th century in Delhi before the British ruled in that region, the drama depicts the fortunes of the residents of Beecham House, an imposing mansion surrounded by acres of exotic woods and pristine lawns. Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair, Jekyll and Hyde) takes the role of enigmatic, soulful John Beecham, a handsome former soldier who has purchased the magnificent mansion, Beecham House, to begin a new life with his family. Wealthy and distinguished, John has witnessed profiteering and exploitation during his time with the controlling East India Company and has resolved to conduct his business as a trader in a more equitable manner. Determined to escape his previous life, John appears haunted by his past, but is inspired to become an honourable member of the region’s trading community. In spite of John’s good intentions his life is shrouded in mystery and when he arrives at the house with an ‘olive-skinned‘ child named August and two Indian nursemaids, Chanchal (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Maya (Trupti Khamkar), it causes speculation and gossip amongst the servants that he may be the boy’s father. One of the Indian nursemaids, the beautiful Chanchal, is overly protective and particularly fond of the child. Could she be John’s lover and the mother of August? Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) is John’s robust, interfering mother Henrietta who has travelled from England to India to stay with her son. She is accompanied by a young family friend Violet, played by Bessie Carter (Les Miserables) who she is determined to help form a union with John. The pair are accompanied by an old friend of John’s, Samuel Parker, played by Marc Warren (Safe, Hustle) who has also left the East India Company and has returned to India for a fresh start. Samuel helps John to find his brother Daniel who he has not seen for 10 years. John convinces Daniel, Leo Suter, (Victoria) to leave the East India Company and join him at Beecham House. Gregory Fitoussi (Mr Selfridge, Spiral) plays General Castillon, a French mercenary working for the Emperor at a time when the French are challenging the East India Company for India. Castillon is suspicious of John and his motives and conspires to stop John being granted a trading licence. Adil Ray (Citizen Khan, Ackley Bridge) is John’s neighbour Murad Beg who dislikes General Castillon intensely and agrees to help John secure a trading licence. Murad’s daughter, Roshanara, (Kanika Kapur) has an English governess Margaret Osborne, played by Dakota Blue Richards (Endeavour) whose beauty and intelligence catches John’s attention. However, when beautiful Chandrika (Pallavi Sharda) arrives at Beecham House with her entourage she is shown to luxurious guest quarters and immediately insists on seeing August. What secrets does Chandrika bring with her to Beecham House?
Alex Garland’s movie style really amazes me, he filmed the british countryside so beautifully. Wanna visa the forest of dean to see the tunnel now. Rory Kinnear got range, he can act every fucking thing, even a new born baby. Jessi Buckley is like made for these kind of movies. we lived under the patriarchy for so long. That birth scene.
氛围很creepy 剧情=没有剧情 所有镜头都是象征和隐喻这点不太喜欢 男性凝视也让人浑身不适 比仲夏夜惊魂差些 跟<我们><星之彩>差不多水准 不是我的type 视觉上很好看 下次别拍了 3.5
男权社会中，所有男人都是一个超级联盟，甚至他们扮演一个角色，他们使用暴力、精神控制、洗脑，为了保证可以一直吸女人的血，身为女人无处可逃。跟前段时间看的夏布洛尔的《爱丽丝最后的逃离》非常相似。
差点吐了。导演牛逼。这种又恶心又怪又疼又能共情到的感觉真的太久没有过了。
隧道里，还有生产那部分算是比较有意思的，其他都一般
循环产子是家暴男乞求和暴虐的轮换，是男人的爹宝二象性，是男权文化下男性气质一代代地直接产子。
卧槽加兰你在想什么?概念先行是没错，可这个概念本身就有问题，而且后半段女主完全落后于观众，太蠢了，越到后面越蠢，现在要做的根本不是展现伤口而是分析原因，加兰这次的投机创作显然是根本没有这个能力的，男导演拍所谓的“女性主义”电影（因为其实所有“男导演”拍的东西都不会是女性主义电影）最应该想的是以什么身份站在女性的身边，否则就会成为另一种关于话语权的暴力
风景很好，直白，但有一些新意，不过作品需要最终完成于用讨好女人的讨厌男人使男人获益。可惜的有两点：关于UI的吓人点子要么删掉要么更多一些；男人的外形过于单一，缺少代表最大利益集体的形象（直接地减少了表达的广度）（但同时提纯了所谓“女性视角”）
节奏缓慢、诡谲、晦涩，无疑是本片最大的问题，但在加兰创造的美学体系中显得非常融洽，由浅至深的几重含义也在荒诞恐怖的故事中完成表达
③捉迷藏，捉的人是主体，是行动者，藏的人是客体，捉迷藏一开始就不能再行动，只能被动等待，女主的反捉是一个觉醒
一开始还正常，最后就十分annoying，看着嫌烦，烦什么？Men！让Men试试怀孕吧～
摄影和音效很绝，一人分饰多角的设定，以及最后一层层剥离躯壳的视觉冲击也是极强了。表达的意思有点不明，但看的还是很震撼。
最后半小时牛逼！garland似乎一直有自己的一套能令人呕吐的美学 湮灭里腐烂的人体开出的花 本片里美丽自然场景中出现的腐烂裸男 看完整部电影回忆起来所有的男性角色都令人恐惧又恶心 这不就是女性生存的每一天吗
绝美田园自然风光片，配乐也很动听。高潮的套娃分娩非常cult，和女主一样整个看懵了。从头至尾蒲公英的隐喻不言自明，来自不同角色男人的凝视，洗脑，讨好式接近都带着目的性，而漠然麻木的警察角色也是这种恶意的帮凶。前夫的自杀式PUA更是成为根植女主心灵的梦魇。男人也好，女人也罢，就不要把自以为是的自我感动当成爱或者索爱的理由了吧。
a24的片子真是越来越难以下咽，故作高深、虚声靡靡、全是自以为的概念加上一点点视觉冲击力，感觉这样下去离倒闭也不远了…
别看，求求大家.太二臂了这片，真的无语.今年最无语的片子.直男导演就别拍这种题材了，真的无语了.
故事简单了点，不过起码比别的恐怖惊悚片好看有特色，白天惊悚的场面很多，挺好。

本片无疑是一部女性主义电影，写出了男性丑陋本性的普遍并将其具象化。男性总是竭尽千方百计地为了让自己占据道德高点而进行无耻又无理的诡辩，这个要点虽只是轻轻一点却入木三分。更可贵的是创作者利用了观众尤其是男性观众的生育恐惧而增强表达效果。
DNA FILMS制作，N24出品，节奏很慢，惊悚度和奇葩感挺强。
