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.
互相偷窥互相伤害，你家不拉窗帘我家也不拉窗帘。结尾的毒杀设定和复仇情节略显多余，降解了对女主情欲烧身又同情心泛滥的多面体内心的塑造，同时将伊索寓言的寓意也降格了。
这转折这结局也太扯了。人人都有窥私欲，不过要是终日沉迷于窥伺，早晚也会葬送自己的生活。这电影是不是想说摄影师都不是什么好人，尤其是那帮拍人体的，自觉远离保平安？女主的身材加分。
看《白莲花度假村》时我就想还有比奥莉维亚更令人讨厌的角色么？女主在本片中做到了！
搞上色影师
哎，毁了。反转一次就行了，偷窥与被偷窥，角色反转，就此打住，这是神作。然后再反转，女主知道真相把“心机男心机女”弄瞎，这其实完全没必要了。ps:女主身材颜值真好。
结局有点意思，你站在桥上看风景，看风景的人也在看你！
不知道为啥，这片看完让我有种怪异的感觉，引起了生理不适。。强行反转的剧情有点突兀。没看到什么深刻的意义，甚至可以当成三级片了。。
所有情色电影在jerkoff后失去观影乐趣 不过后面的剧情反转倒是可以 就是那种好又说不出哪儿好差也没有差到哪儿去的电影吧
情色版的现代<后窗>式故事，后面的反转反杀也还可以。西德妮这妹纸可塑性真的可以，开头符合年纪的甜，中段婊起来跟<白莲花度假村>也有所不同，最后又可以演出<夜曲>一样的黑化，过分的是还有这霸道的身材。（2年前演<大侦探皮卡丘>的J史密斯，现在变这样？）
掀开黑暗章节的沉重一页，被压迫、伤害、监视与利用；“疯女人”不是结束，是“塞勒姆”之后的上演，更或许为“得州心跳”的前续，所以这是个跨越数个世代并始终回荡着声量的故事
为了美好的身体加一分。最后倒地小黑是自杀还是他杀？
反转太多太过，逻辑是硬伤。导演不那么用力就好了，太用力反而拍成了爆米花电影。
到结尾之前都不错，剧情的反转很有意思。可惜结尾太烂了
恭喜刘承羽演了这么个刻板的chinese evil bitch，一个角色囊括“莲花宝贝”Lotus Blossom和“龙女”Dragon Lady，让我有种梦回90年前的感觉，以为自己在看黄柳霜。相信她以后一定会星途坦荡，接到更多这类角色的offer.
束腰那里，简直不能呼吸😭
法国女导演自编自导自演的女性反压迫电影，色调镜头音乐舞美都极为细腻和用心，两个女主的演绎也情绪饱满恰如其分。疯子很多时候是所谓"正常人”的迫害所致，而正常人往往都是集体发疯的“疯子”。这个结局说明了男权社会下的女人无论怎样都是某种悲剧。如果能把两个女主的情感焦灼再刻画的深入一些或许会更好。法国演员好像由内而外酒散发着某种特质。
第一个反转力道很足，意想不到，我以为女主会跟他没羞没臊的快乐生活下去，是我低俗了。到第二个反转的时候就有些画蛇添足了，本可以在此就戛然而止的，留给观众的空间会大一些。这样直接把答案抛出来了，就没有探讨的滋味了。
值得投入看的片子，情节最起码是脱离了小俗套。因为男女主的演技看起来不好，所以当成个很平常的片子，三心二意看的，最后的二十分钟后悔这样做了。推荐吧，慢慢看，品品人性也是好的。
看到中间这也太无聊了吧 后续反转还可以 加一星
偷窥者反被偷窥，女主白莲花并一直想把自己的责任撇干净。我一直不理解女主的男友生气的点，“有我还不够吗？”这个和偷窥又不是并列的，但后来看别人的剧评，理解了，男友已经知道女主在YY和对吗的摄影师ooxx了。女主臆测对方杀死了自己的男友，这个可以判定是假的，是女主撇清责任的一种表现。至于剧情的各种不合理，反杀这一块是有问题的，但前面的设置还不错。女主的身材terrific。
