Max is a real jerk. A long time ago, the successful lawyer had turned over all the routine duties of family life to his wife Nathalie.His comfort and leisure time were a far greater priority. Sell the roadster and buy an efficient family car? No way!But then, Max’s fast-paced life suddenly screeches to a halt when Nathalie is hospitalized for several weeks with a complicated fracture.Alone with their two children and the dog he hates, Max quickly reaches the boiling point.As if having to play father was not bad enough, he is shocked to the core when he discovers passionate love letters written to his wife and signed “From G. in love”. Feeling that his life is slipping out of control, Max’s first impulse is to find out who his rival is. Then it dawns on him – could the way he has treated his wife be the reason why she has sought out another lover?Now Max attempts to see his situation from a different point of view. Last week he was ready to plan the yearly guys’ vacation he takes with his best buddy, but now things have changed.Max recognizes just how much he needs Nathalie’s humor, her organizing talent and her optimism, but also just how important to him she and his family really are. Max tries to discover the mysterious lover’s identity, but because of his new insight, he takes an additional step.Unfortunately, when he learns that the mystery man is Gregor, Max realizes that not only does the man have all those qualities - he is very attractive as well.

But turning his life around is far more difficult than he had imagined.To make matters worse, Gregor turns out to be a loving, family-oriented man just what Nathalie needs. Max is desperate – he knows there is a real chance that he might lose Nathalie and the children.Willing to put everything on the line to keep his family intact, Max makes the biggest sacrifice of his life. Then something happens that is the very last thing he could have ever counted on…
Jon 这个原型人物采取 Monologue 的方式代入他曾经的几部剧中台上台下 融合生活困境 友情挣扎 创作焦虑 爱情平衡 看到对角色保留了好坏两面 没有所谓的纯净化当然不错 可惜还是很难产生接近感 拍摄不易 很多因 covid 的原因无法做到更好的更逼真的效果 让很多百老汇的传奇人物都出场表演也棒 但是 Larson 的真实一生与他的几部作品都让我很疲惫 个人问题 应该是天然对 musical 的一切都太疏离了 听感视觉两个层面完全不欣赏
【B+】不负期待😚加菲的歌喉让人印象深刻了！
三星半。不错的改编，某种程度上的元音乐剧电影。有了乔纳森·拉森的音乐剧，才有了电影，而电影讲述的又是音乐剧的起点，两种艺术借助不同的载体从形式到内容各方面完成呼应，好几幕都不乏动容时刻。
爵士春秋的自述融合爱乐之城的切出切入，音乐剧歌曲还是蛮好听，歌词内容比较脱口秀。
传主乔纳森在他那部传世之作《吉屋出租》首演前日去世，他的良师、一代音乐剧巨擘桑德海姆近日也与世长辞，由此本片算是双重祭奠。我以为我会哭，但是我没有。作为一个Rent粉+LMM粉，得到的却是双重失望。虽然电影有个不错的结构，将《倒数时刻》的表演现场与乔纳森的现实生活交织穿插，宛如他本人以上帝视角审视自己的创作心路、注解自己短暂的一生，但段落融合性不强，跳进跳出反而出戏，高潮缺席又令累积的小情绪溃散一地。
Don’t know which is the worst, the music, the singing or the story #134
论游泳的重要性；叙述挺有意思，剪辑手法让故事生动有趣，节奏流畅。3.5
迷你剧和第一部都没看过，不影响对内容的理解。剧情的安排和设定像流水一样自然铺开，感觉像是英式贵族传统与新兴平民媒介的冲突与融合，庄园的未来发展暗含更多可能。
老妇人年轻的时候一定是个非常有魅力的lady啊
Mary will become her.
That's life: getting past the unexpected, and perhaps learning from it. // Marriage is a novel, full of the plot twists along the way // I hope you’ll be as happy as our cruel world allows. // Don't steer me, I'm not a racing car. // Stop that noise. I can't hear myself die. 临终都带着幽默 //真实拍摄地Highclere Castle 的确因为拍电影才有资金进行维护
近年来为数不多的好歌舞片之一 加菲卖力卖唱 LMM delivers a stellar show (okay I do wonder how much breaking the fourth wall with musical numbers makes this piece less of a film)
hope you’ll be as happy as our cruel world allows
但事实更多是终其一生努力活成一个普通人。
没有共鸣 唱的也感觉不咋好听。 6.5/10
演员和服化道依然是最值得看的部分，除此之外杂乱的镜头，无意义的运镜，还有乱七八糟的剪切真的都欣赏不来。前一小时真是灾难般的体验，本就不扎实的剧情还被剪得七零八落。结尾老夫人逝去还是有点泪目，即使新生命到来也阻挡不了衰落的大势，这次可能真的要说再见了。//在影院听完片尾曲才离开，算是好好告别吧
但事实更多是终其一生努力活成一个普通人。
赢了表演，输了情感。歌舞编排强是强，大多时间都是舞台与现实来回转换的优秀演出。 但本片跟“下限高，上限低”的万金油作品有什么实质差别吗？当然没差别，故事模板，影像表达，又亦是情绪渲染都被主创方和资本彻底锁死。 也基本跟电影里的人物所说，“引人入胜，却难以让观众跟随故事的情感主线，太多细节让我们分心，也同样难以产生共鸣。” 所以第三幕的高潮与其说是佳章倒不如说是正常发挥，毕竟［倒数时刻］本就未真正存在过，一部精彩却又扁平无奇的传记片。
看完会发现，好像男主身上并没发生什么事，把一个作品交出去，等待被发现或者被埋没，自己并没有什么可以做的，剧情的很大一部分都靠身边人的故事在推动。
明明是个与创作者本人无关的故事，却莫名透露着浓烈的自恋味，纯属剧院玩家自娱自乐自我感动。最重要的是，能不能先学会电影剪辑和调度再来染指歌舞片……？今年颁奖季电影的质量简直太恐怖了。
