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.
隔一段时间看一部这样甜甜的电影，能起到平衡生命的作用。
中规中矩的爱情片啰，感觉像一对普通情侣的恋爱记录，没啥特别感觉。
太平淡了 结尾是编剧写不下去了还是导演删了戏份啊😂
生活果然是个王八蛋，是爱情出现问题的最大问题。分开却能修补这种问题，也是个神奇的套路。
像是看了一个两个小时的MV 生怕别人不知道主演有演技似的一直怼脸拍
杨玏和毛晓彤各给一星，请他们两个原地结婚。
国产爱情片总是展现物质对爱情的阻力有多大，最后的和解也总是因为不用再为物质烦恼。借用一句评论，这样的故事我一天能编出十个。
故事不够电影，算加强版的电视剧
但是这些就在我们生活中会发生的事情 非常共情
我还以为男主开头这么好，后来肯定反转，万万没想到男主从头优质到尾，一直是女主在作。
“能不能 重来过 回到开始，
CP粉的番外，故事毫无新意。傅首尔连个正脸都不给，如果嫌弃就别用了，真的是（虽然我也不喜欢她）
我不知道跨年的这一晚究竟是开心还是难过更多，因为你在我身边陪我一起度过，可我们却只是朋友～
快餐式的现代爱情故事，流水账式的拍摄手法，很难不苟同这就是当下生活节奏下，年轻人的感情观。只是这个名字起的太唬人了，合着一年分手了，都能叫做以年为单位的恋爱了呀，当然毛晓彤是好看的。后排的小伙子抽泣的动静有点大，也太能带入自己了。
我是听了一场MV。谢谢你，石景山的66M，在2021年的日子里你是我的主语。
不是所有失去都能找回来，你朝着梦想加油的时候，是否看到那个以你为梦想的人，她要什么呢？
该片主要时间背景设定在了跨年那一天，以普通青年男女独自在外漂泊创业彼此相遇即是缘的创作为蓝本，这个影片并不是讲述的学生时代的恋爱故事，而是已经步入到有稳定社会关系的青年情侣的爱情故事。一次活动中让男女主角相遇相识相知，两个人在一起为了品质生活却忽略了情感之间的发展，真实的代入到了当今青年男女之间情感发展的真实写照现象，在如今快生活节奏的今天，真心未必遇到真心，各种生活中的酸甜苦辣咸都会尝试到，以年为单位，以你为中心，有你有我的感情世界就算走到最后不是很圆满，只要曾经拥有过的一切就是上天注定的缘分了！
女主就一工具人，男主设定是时尚女魔头里的海瑟薇吗？
最好的前任就要像死了一样，不要再打扰对方的生活。
超级低配及简化版的《花束般的恋爱》。优点在于情绪的起承转合逻辑是对的，但系列上完全经不起推敲，并且与现实中的男女关系，有挺大的不同。想要拍现实题材的作品，却用理想化的关系去包装，共鸣就不会存在了。杨玏的演技真不行，只会挤眉弄眼，两人的cp感起不来。
