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.
刚好前几天看到一个类似的新闻，女孩以为自己肚子长了瘤，结果……作为温子仁的作品，只能算正常发挥吧。完整版的几个血腥场面还是挺凶的。后面有些许大卫柯能堡的感觉。
电影本身并没有那么多值得多加回顾的点，但想到现实中的事情，还是忍不住哭了。
带着些许期待看的，但还是一部中规中矩没有意外的催泪绝症片。最感动的是茉莉在妈妈肩膀哭的那段。
去你X的删减版，这是部数一数二的砍杀电影！温子仁对镜头和氛围的把控依旧登峰造极，片头配乐气势十足并一酷到底，观感爽快一气呵成，绝对是最近必看的恐怖电影。剧情上，不得不说，这部电影其实算得上是对斯蒂芬金The dark half的重新解构，从核心点子到凶杀元素都极其相似，只是在是真是假上温子仁选择走了另一条路，也非常不错。但如果看过The dark half的话，该片的剧情就略感乏味了，最终结局的反转虽更合理，但也谈不上让人意料之外。另外温子仁这部电影有着大量其他恐怖片的影子，恐怖片影迷非常享受。
当下电影环境，看到这种成色电影不得不拍手叫好，不愧是恐怖大师啊，即便拿来或者致敬的段落，都能跟自己的风格融合的密不透风，鬼片式的招牌神秘莫测+怪奇畸形的视觉冲击，整个丧心病狂的cult杂锦，强烈的镜头游移和回旋式的动作戏跟随，超级浓郁的沉浸感溢出电视屏幕，“招魂”里的“阴风阵阵”，医学研究室“摇篮里的恶魔”，虚实交错的今敏式文风，“血溅警署”的酣畅飒爽，真相逐渐明朗，局势却开始失控，简直是恐怖迷的狂欢盛宴，虽然故事细节经不起推敲，能力和动机还有待商榷，但节奏掌控的如此的好，视听调度堪称极佳，温子仁恐怖大师的称号又坐稳一回，气氛与反转，思维意识的变现，无一不在佐证，他是最懂恐怖片的。★★★★
期待值太高了反而有些失望，洋次郎的声音出现时才真正有了想哭的情绪。当人生开始倒数，“爱情”对于我们来说，是多么幸运而又奢侈啊。
色调清新，选角养眼，音乐加分。然而这样的故事已经看了太多遍了，叙事手法也很传统，没有新鲜感。 好像这是第一次看小松菜奈出演的影视作品、但这个卡司表里熟人可真多哪，不妨当做东京都旅游宣传片看？
逼人太多，恐怖片拍成这样你还想咋滴？装逼犯们，说你呢！
感恩有你 2022年还能看到如此老套狗血的剧情 所以都看颜去了 小松菜奈好好看噢!!
也不能说多好看，但就是一直哭一直哭 完全停不下来。
想起了好多【人就松了】的时刻啊，冬天，再看一遍。多的一星给摄影老师，让人看着就想哭的摄影。
活着真好
故事本身就是催泪的，虽然剧情并不出彩，但是很多情节都设计得很好，声画出色提升氛围感，几度泪崩。
2022年了，还是日式绝症+纯爱片，且120min，果然预告+歌曲+剧照就够赚票房了。落樱飞舞、DV视角、跨年、旅游、逛街、滑雪、看日出、买菜做饭、放烟火、过生日、求婚、开房...基本该有的都有了，蒙太奇堆叠，构图摄影很炫技，以及加上洋次郎的配乐，氛围是真烘托出来了，我甚至有点感觉在看真人悲剧版《你的名字》...本子真的改编的很弱，情感线很失焦难自洽，仅有突然的片段，成PPT质感了，主要还是看颜吧。

在《招魂》与A24风格主导之下的好莱坞恐怖片中，温子仁尝试突破自身所创造下来的风格，拍摄了一部向诸多B级大师致敬的反类型片。《致命感应》可以说前80分钟和后40分钟是两部电影，当Gabriel在90年代风格的Videotape之中出现，如同柯南伯格化的体变，影片随即走向了一部女性复仇的Neon Noir。然而《致命感应》的优点也是缺点，我们可以在影片之中找到温之前所有影片的影子，却在好莱坞A级作品的”规训“之下，其代价是讲述了一个女性觉醒或超级英雄起源的故事，失去了其恐怖电影本身蕴含的多义结局。
但是故事俗套，这个男主看了就让人生气。一个对生活无比热爱，抱有期待的女主拯救了一个废柴男主。这男的从聚会第一眼就看上女主，一直死缠烂打。🤮我只能说你配吗？小松菜奈也拯救不了这烂俗剧情😓
如果你的生命只剩下10年，你会想要怎么度过？
仿佛一个两小时的mv…只有歌能听，颜值画面不错…日式青春片什么时候能跳出死人纯爱…可惜nana和坂口的搭配了…
eemmm，确实没啥记忆点，但每一帧美如画，跟拍画报似的。
