Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.
古语“洗尽铅华”，NC在这部电影里是“玩转铅华”
所有人物的状态都比较悬浮，剧作上细节也不太自然，甚至会让人有些模式化的感觉，
画面很韩影，人物设定像极了是枝裕和的《小偷家族》，是一群底层陌生人互相支撑走过人生之中一段的故事。故事本身有更深的可以挖掘的，本来那个卖淫杀人弃子的母亲有非常非常多的发挥空间，但是演员比较木。另外一些台词有点尬。
陷入创作惯性的庸常，好像是所有作者型导演无法逃开的绝症，只要一旦染疾，病情就很难好转，更别说痊愈；即使想换个环境调理一下，也是治标不治本的事，这是其一。坚持自己的审美与风格、维护自己的创作习惯，和陷入单一叙事迷恋、沉迷某种创作情怀，不是一回事，这是其二。
最后30min内只有摩天轮和宾馆内熄灯两场戏3.5星。除了裴斗娜，其他人的演出看起来都像周五下午五点四十五分看似认真工作实际上只是在脑内放空等着打卡下班的社畜。以《奇迹笨小孩》为例，模式化的剧作本身并不会是问题所在，但如此模式的电影十分依仗观众的共情，如果牵引不出情绪，基本上意味着失语。同样的母题下与《晨曦将至》相比，是枝裕和被河濑直美爆杀。
好久没有沉浸式看完凯奇的电影了，虽然是类型片但笑中带泪的感觉还是很好，支持一下
3.5分。 是枝裕和的“非血亲家庭”系列，只不过这次是把视角放到了韩国社会。所以题材虽然类似，但本片比《小偷家族》的步调和节奏还是要差了一截，文化的差异的确不可小觑，滨口龙介可以完全忽视，但是枝裕和还是忽视不了。 不过，我并不认为这部电影到底多差劲，它在剧本层面和宋康昊的表演上，做的依旧不错，阶级固化下的家庭破碎，人们对于血亲家庭的绝望，这些显性的现象其实都藏在隐形的社会痼疾里。
本来我觉得这一部电影，是值不上五星的，最多四星，三星是正常。但是当我看到了摩天轮以及关灯说话那部分，我就知道我的情绪和泪点不允许我打低分了。对于我而言，只要可以真切地打动我，那么就值五星。
虽然不能成为合法受保护的家庭 但各种形式上的责任分摊与舍我付出早已超越血缘了
色调和配乐，故事，确实是是枝裕和。太过童话了。现实更像是《新鲜》或者那部没有条目的红颜色海报纪录片。这是一个骂丢弃孩子的母亲，而从不骂让女人怀孕单身生育的世界。这是一个让女人生育，然而不保护女性和儿童安全生命和健康的世界，这是一个把全部资源用来保护加害者的世界。着实的地狱是看了是枝裕和这部电影只觉得童话感十足的割裂的世界
看完预告片后满怀期待，看完正片后稍许失落，这个时代变了，不是20年前那个各行各业皆是天才的年代，那个时候导演，剧本，演员皆天才，球星，歌手，漫画家一个个的才华横溢，现在再来看，全是扶不起的阿斗，电影行业如此，其他行业都一个怂样！
是枝裕和怎么这么拉了，如此轻佻的剧本，真是几乎找不到一点好
很多人抱怨是枝裕和在重复讲故事，父母子女的关系都不再新鲜，反复剖析来去也只是新瓶装旧酒，但这是一个致命的缺点吗？自我重复并非错误，艺术家一生中感兴趣的事情毕竟也有限，他们能够将自己的兴趣耕耘到其他人难以企及的深度，就已经是很了不起的事情。
是枝裕和来韩国这趟旅行看起来比于佩尔那次好玩多了，想问他要来攻略参考一下，就是食宿差了点儿。至于电影本身，观感如同批阅了一本写满正确答案的小学三年级习题册。
作为男人，有些好听的话就应该这么自然地说出来。
回来了，哈哈。凯奇看来必须有一个好的男搭档才能拍出好片子啊
用很粗的针管笔勾线之后又用很淡的水溶彩铅上色的不协调感。
调侃自己过气的现实
说实话又老套又无聊，特别各种各样的情感升华尬死了转变也很突然，但是几个笑点又确实让人吐了吐气，如果是凯奇老粉可能会感触多一些吧。。。
电影主题自然是关于生命，关于新生生命的意义，关于抛弃生命的动机，这些重复的母题显然在是枝裕和的其他作品里屡次提及，但由于上述原因，让观众很难代入角色产生共鸣。
