A brief trip back home turns into a longer stay when Eric finds himself caught between catching up with his two sisters and conquering his old poker group. The more Eric extends his visit to prove that he is still the best poker player in town, the harder it becomes to steer clear of the old fault lines in his relationship with his sister Rachel. As their little sister Maggie attempts to recreate the intimate world they once shared, Eric and Rachel are faced with the divide between their childhood selves and the adults they have now become.
Displaying all the sensitivity and wicked humour of his previous works, Dustin Guy Defa’s new film is a shrewd study of the pitiless condition known as adulthood. After growing up in a family unit that constitutes your whole world, with its particular set of habits and a shared language, crossing the border into the realm of adults can feel disempowering, even terrifying. A sense of loss may be difficult to ever really overcome. The film’s meticulous structure and novelistic depth lay bare this fundamental fear, but also the resources that exist to fight it. Setting about this treasure hunt deep within as individuals and as a family is an admirable trio of actors whose interpretation is as nuanced as it is poignant.
虽然是小场景，小制作，但也不能吝惜5颗星，
哪来的那么多同性恋，异性恋，双性恋啊，归根结底还是爱而已。
剧情展开转折都还不错，但是跟踪那块有点扯（也太不专业了）…另外还纠结是掰弯还是深柜…男主怎么跟桑总这么像，还都叫Thomas…
这个国家一半的人都有秘密，在铁幕背后凝望铁幕
情节发展的处理方式比较简单，在大致呈现社会背景的基础上，清楚地表现出人物的情感与意识的变化。
总的来说，勉强能够及格，但片子还可以更好。
所以其实在这么一个社会里，忠于自己总是很难的。
这个国家一半的人都有秘密，在铁幕背后凝望铁幕
那种感觉就像有一天gay朋友给我说 如果他不是gay 他走在路上脚步都会轻快
陌生人不值得信任。
剧情很扁平很无聊，结尾太仓促。
简单，有效，计划实际，实施彻底，老炮儿就应该这样。
竟然是悬疑类型片 还挺好看的 就是主角实在是有些蠢 对华沙多了些冷冰冰的印象（看的时候会觉得在街头用枪杀人这些桥段是不是有些太随意了 一度以为是在看碟中谍 了解下认为可能说是在影射波兰当下的同性恋危机四伏的境遇）
不过也是因为罗伯特特别好看才撑着看完，甚至解锁了一个新的年龄段类型，介于青年与大叔之间，我流管这叫小叔（？）
一部意味不明，重点不明，甚至主题都不明的片子。东欧铁幕下的不自由与窒息氛围完成得很好，但是氛围下的人和故事却显得还是非常刻板与套路。chemistry是有的，但是铺垫完全不够。还有，本片题眼大概是，不要老是害怕，特别是不要害怕自由，但却完全没有在这个主题上有探索最后居然回到了爱情。我真的不是很懂。
美国佬继续搞意识形态输出…不过昏黄压抑的前解体东欧风真的好看啊！
节奏非常快，感觉像看了一部Neo-noir风格的罪案惊悚片。网飞选在这个时候发布，说没有政治考量我是不信的。眼看着波兰右翼越来越疯魔，80年代迫害性少数的风信子行动也改头换面卷土重来，用仇恨围剿LGBT。最近的宪法官司让我分外好奇欧盟接下来会不会开除大波波...
美国佬继续搞意识形态输出…不过昏黄压抑的前解体东欧风真的好看啊！
总的来说，勉强能够及格，但片子还可以更好。
这部电影是给无数像他们的人的悼词
