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.
真的太棒了。Alan is a puppy.
剧情的漏洞就不说了，很难想象电影院里的观众是怎样把这么一部爱情电影看成喜剧的（虽说有些地方确实很狗血）
7.0 复印机的设定还不错 对反派扮演美杜莎毁灭证据和主角在天台撒单页这两段印象很深
要命的无聊，倒是很喜欢本性善良的雇佣兵×神经病娇老板这个组合，我已经脑补好了。原本为了tatum看的结果发现了恐怖点：长发的tatum，比惊悚片还吓人 Brad Pitt倒是不错
不应该被粗过的一部印尼电影，不是青春疼痛片.一个普通人一步步自证三番五次差点被打翻人生信仰，不管哪一国，都有网约车，校园暴力这些事情，要命的是代入感很强，说实话很感谢女主没放弃走到最后！！！身处黑暗也要仰望阳光☀️
虽然一开始以为是部有👻的恐怖片，两个多小时耐心看下来还不错。
網路霸凌題材最近很多，這部加入很多印尼在地原素。可惜節奏慢了些。
反映校园内偷拍行为的，本来有个不错的故事框架，但导演却不满足于只是一个简单的故事
每日一催：男女主什么时候现实在一起 :)🙏🙏🙏
奈飞的确能帮助一些小语种地区的电影能有更多的曝光，但是电影本身的悬疑设置有点老套，同时除开所谓的地域外壳，其他的也只是让我记住了印尼不能够喝酒这件事情。最后总的来说电影的节奏再紧凑一点，可能悬疑感能更强，同时电影还是让人看到了很多当地的风光和开放的宗教氛围，以及当地传统家庭元素的展现。
反映校园内偷拍行为的，本来有个不错的故事框架，但导演却不满足于只是一个简单的故事，想让影片更加丰富，因此不断地将许多的东西填充进去，又要突出某种主题，而编导的手法又很稚嫩，故事讲述得累赘而不聪明，再加上女主角根本不会演戏，永远只是一个姿势一种表情，更让影片显得冗长而无趣。从剧情来看，女主的遭遇与其性格密切相关。她的许多行为及处理问题的方式，都显得她相当的幼稚与涉世不深。人生总是充满险恶，尤如战场一般。这就是残酷的现实。保护好自己，是让自己人生少风险的基本要求。
原来是家庭伦理连续剧 感觉故事挺多的 线也很多 为啥不直接拍成电视剧 下一部什么时候来啊
忘说了…第一部在女主和高中生分手回到宿舍之后，竟然很磕女主和她舍友。

虽然故事无比胡闹，但是还是很喜欢两位主演之间的化学效应的，大笑姑婆和肌肉智障，笑料很足，很典型的美式风味。
点进来之前我不知道会这么好笑。“僵硬”的桑婆，憨呆的钱老板，二人合在一起那种直愣的喜感十分戳我的点。就连皮特的客串也很有趣。豆瓣5.6分太低了，加一星鼓励。
就很好奇船戏和前两集比是怎么做到毫无火花的？剧情莫名其妙已经说腻了还玩琼瑶也太没创意了吧！唯二能夸的只有Hero和Jo毫无瑕疵的颜值，特别是Jo的小脸，果然好看就是要瘦（跑题了
你侵犯了我的隐私，所以我也要用侵犯你隐私的方法来看看你是否侵犯了我的隐私🤣
my life is not your porn。开局故事还是蛮吸引人的，后续剧情的发展显得有些一般。影片的最后一幕，越来越多的人走上高楼，走向勇敢，走向希望，带着些理想主义，却又是超越现实，给人希望。
竟然还有tbc。。。而且我竟然还想看😅结尾那块配乐梦回vd就是说🤧
