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.
光影和色调都好，缓慢地讲一个故事。“人生像一条夜河，你在其中湍急而过，任你如何努力，都无法在最喜欢的地方停留。”
摄影很美，截屏收藏了不少，剧情欠佳不够吸引人，人物感情生硬。
故事叙述完成度很高 虽然中间桥段有杀人回忆既视感但也圆回来了主题 最喜欢的是画面 构图色调很美 很文艺
还可以，值得支持一下的，有点点拖沓。配音处理的不好，总感觉想在录影棚而不是现场，让人出戏
如果接受了这是一部文艺片的话，或许也就能接受它在案件细节上的一些bug了。
「女性悬疑」确实不咋悬疑 虽然力求细腻但故事有点莫名其妙 首席教库管女孩跳舞 首席被害后女孩决定替她活下去 额😓 三次身份置换 感觉在故弄玄虚 陈年旧案的引入也是离奇又随意的 整个做得很虚
食材对口味了，盐和酱油多放少放点也没太介意了
故事叙述完成度很高 虽然中间桥段有杀人回忆既视感但也圆回来了主题 最喜欢的是画面 构图色调很美 很文艺
画面很好看，故事内容不能过于仔细想，会有点欠缺。总体蛮好的
剧情很不合逻辑。三星给林音的扮演者，气质拿捏绝了
年代感十足，布景很用心，湖北80年代的县城。演技在线，故事讲清楚了。
文艺大于悬疑，很值得细细回味的片子，bgm也很好。很难想象这是一部网大？
现在的死者是当年的凶手，那现在的凶手是当年的……
拼命换来的，风一吹就没了！世界众生百相，哪一条路好像都能走，但你只能选择做一种人，无论成为谁，都要有勇气！
包袱反转设计的还不错，摄影和音乐也很赞，就是故事打磨的不是特别好，当然也算网剧里比较出色的
-跟随叙述改变影像设置悬疑，很有层次感。
华语近年少有的经典，有时代的衰落，有人物的挣扎，也有舞蹈者的绝代风华，更多有流畅的剧情推动，满格的案情推理，精致的人物扮演，丰满的人物塑造，到了最后的反转，大赞
众生百相，每条路都需要勇气，摄影加分，结尾拖沓，但算是网大良心了
从画面和色调等工业角度来说，优于一般的网大。剧情故事讲得挺用心，也有些小心翼翼，但毕竟还是有些单薄，说是犯罪悬疑，其实更多的还是对特定时代的描写，重重顾虑之下，可能也就平平淡淡了。
摄影 剪辑没问题 配乐 演技 故事配不上 就越发的显得短板明显 看在网大的份上多给一星
