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.
因为看过刘毛宁导演的上一部作品，特别喜欢所以慕名而来，这一部虽然依旧有所感触，但没有上一部那么爱，可能是个人经历原因共情的部分不同吧。另外其他作品也都各有各的可爱之处，可惜又有家长不做功课带了吵闹的小孩去，自己也不以身作则，影响了观影体验
新年第一部电影，还不错，独立篇幅，小小的篇幅意外的暖心，难得的平凡中见温馨，有种人间烟火气，最暖凡人心的感受。确实是电影名，动画风格挺喜欢的。
影片后劲儿非常强！属于那种值得反复推敲、细细咂摸的类型，每一个小故事、小篇章，都有着满满的小细节和小格调，总是能最快的调动起大脑里的情绪。
剧情感人，看完以后感触良多，非常适合带宝宝一起来看。画风清新自然，很有味道，看完还可以买上一本绘本给家里小朋友。赞👍
虽然有的故事有些“个人”。但是看到不同画风不同地域的方言就觉得太棒了。
《外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅》6岁以上
我最喜欢糖水铺，娃最喜欢哼将军和哈将军，是一次新鲜的尝试，身为给孩子看到电影比喜羊羊之流更有余味。
七个故事画面感真的很好，没有小朋友是不知道小朋友会不会喜欢这样的剧情，但是身为成年人来说太平淡了，可作为一部动画电影，它有它的可取之处，我愿意为它多打一分
有趣的绘本短片集，画风真的很美，有水墨画裁纸画等等，可见创作者的用心，每个主题不一样，但共同点的都是一个温馨治愈的小故事，适合孩子一家人一起看
比较适合小朋友去看的电影，手绘动画其实在当今的国内电影市场上还是挺难得的，尤其这部短片集还集合了多种动画制作方式，可以看到现在年轻动画导演们的功力。几部短片剧本的水平还是比较参差的，有的很有感触，有的就只适合小朋友，边上的大哥在后半场已经鼾声大作了，映后说最喜欢的部分时小朋友的选择和成年人完全不同，倒也算是全家欢的另一个维度吧，大家可以各取所需。
有时候我就想啊，世界是一个多维度的立体空间，每一部电影都能开启我们对这个立体的更新维度的探索。不是所有的动画电影主角都是小孩子，起码在《向着明亮那方》中，好几个篇章的主人公就是中老年人，这样的动画向孩子们展现的是一整个世界，而非夸张低幼的无脑作品，一味只顾着嘻嘻哈哈哈。
好几个故事到后面甚至要看哭了，童真童趣总是能直击我内心深处，就算故事呈现是虚构的题材但总有现实在里头，这也就是为什么动画片很能打动人的地方。每个故事都很完整，有几个甚至很出色，转场音乐都很棒，有几部的配音还是带有方言的就更亲切了！
我希望国产动画能将商业和艺术表达有机结合。像迪士尼的电影盒《你看起来很好吃》那样就很棒。
那年夏天，光透过弹珠，总觉得里面有整个世界；
画面感优秀。每章节都让人感动，所以，我拿走了一颗星。
《翼娃子》6岁以上
最喜欢第三个故事《小火车》和第六个《外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅》，都哭惨我了🥺……前者是被巧妙却残酷的设计戳中了，后者是因为克制的叙事。
看完点映有了蹿到隔壁城市二刷的冲动！这部影片太有魔力了，画风虽然简单但细节是真的真的赞！看的时候某个场景的出现瞬间把我拉回童年，那一帧帧往事历历在目，深陷回忆中。同时也引发了不少问题进行思考，那时候的梦想有没有完成...童年的发小们都在干什么。童年是最美好，最真挚的，就那么短短几年时光，一去不回也来不及道别。
个人最喜翼娃子，很有烟火气。
第一次带儿子一起看动画片，七个根据绘本改编的小故事温暖又感人，小时候的感觉又回来了。真实，而又靠近心灵深处的一面，似乎被掀开。天真，无邪，童趣，自由，成长，陪伴，感悟。父母和孩子、亲人之间感情深厚。
