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.
像是詹姆斯古恩拍了低配头号玩家
我曾经梦想成为一块石头。现在看到有人替我去做到了我真的很激动。这好像是我的一种渴望！but当奖杯出来后我第六感就感觉它可能是什么意思了、果然那么用了。后三十分钟吧、不太喜欢，最喜欢石头，直接泪目了…有创意有表演，核心易猜但到底还是用各种创意和小故事去穿起来，但符合多重宇宙的逻辑。因为太放飞，秀莲人物的神没聚到一块去，因此情缺点儿真，反倒没有彻底B面的女儿真实痛快。女儿cue出场后就感觉是另一表现的《青春变形计》，同样是东亚家庭在美丽国。fine午夜看精神了、、我想继续追我的it狂人了…我会不会笑癫在床上流一床口水进另一个世界里呢、、谁知道呀
知道会爆笑 没想到会爆哭 直接在影院里用口罩擦鼻涕😅
一个ABC一家三代其乐融融的搞笑片竟然被定为R级，下三路真没必要。
1⃣️一小时左右便开始哭个稀里哗啦2⃣️即便还是传统“和解”故事的内核（我不喜欢），导演却天马行空赋予哲学/黄暴/无厘头的想象力，让故事爆发新奇的活力，导演玩疯了，这是创作者的热情与诚意，永远respect3⃣️电影给我一种解题之感，看主角一步一步往下做，导演害怕观众等待的答案不够震撼，于是拿来了甜甜圈/石头/塑料眼拔高4⃣️多元宇宙概念好火5⃣️挂念两块石头和树上的Evelyn&Joy娃娃6⃣️细品老公演技，不仅要帮助女主搞清状况，还要告诉观众目前是哪个宇宙的人格，演的太好。
感觉是把能想到的元素都用上了，中间还cos了一段王家卫（虽然剧情挺晋江的），一度要被打戏看到疲累时，又进入下一个温柔的反转，一度以为要和解时，又进入下一段关系的激辩。完全因为最后母女之间的对话，让我多打了一星，because敢相信我一个30多岁的人，现在依然就像电影这样和我爸不断争论，然后往往以我的一句“你别管我了”结尾，然后俩人互相沉默，看到这里我真的爆哭。但是过一段时间，对方遇到什么问题，又像没有发生过一样，继续互相照顾，然后继续争吵，然后继续和解，真的就是不断地这样在重复（前提是我已经不再跟父母同住，但每隔一段时间还是会见面）。虽然一开始觉得编剧把结局写成大和解，太不现实了吧，现实中站在各自立场的双方，怎么可能和解？但写到这里，我发现这个结局不过是阶段性和解，过一段时间后，电影会重演。
最好的部分都在前十分钟里，之后垮得无可救药，把疯癫玩成俗套，无休无止地折磨观众的神经。但凡亚裔电影必有干涉一切的大家长，剑拔弩张的家庭关系，而编剧还挣扎在和解的泥淖里。
弗洛伊德执着于意识的世界，忙于梦的解析时，电影还没有诞生，任由他纵贯以往昔，他所仅能知道的是：人是梦的奴隶！而他所不知道的是：电影发明以后，人，成为梦的缔造者。每一个电影，都是一个梦境，晚安，好梦！
病好了第一件事就是冲到电影院看电影！片如其名，天马行空星空脑洞大开，不愧是A24出品。母女之间那种相爱相杀，想在一起又想逃离的关系真的太能理解了。看到石头滚下去的那一刻哭成泪人:(
杨紫琼能遇到这部电影确实是一种幸运，这部电影能遇到杨紫琼是一种更大的幸运
太精彩了，啥都好，但是最后为什么一定要和解呢？用爱解决一切问题本来已经够烂了，结果还是用嘴炮让对方缴械。我在看什么日本动漫吗？
打着动作片的旗号讲了一个所谓“以爱之名”的故事 片中时不时的煽情说教很生硬 浪费了那么多特效 很无聊的一个故事 拜托 american chinese不是只有永远的父权可以讲好吗
脑洞大到离谱。这电影为什么可以做到明明我没太看懂的前提下却感动得一塌糊涂？是不是有什么情绪是无法用语言形容的，但却可以通过画面和音乐直达内心？
三星不能更多了，PPT炫技和低级打斗场景，恶趣味的设计，眼花缭乱的场景和近乎苍白贫瘠的内核，用母爱胜过一切来淡化内在的冲突，最后让这个母亲心甘情愿她所扮演的角色，而不能对爱有任何质疑。完全浪费了本可以有的深入空间，平行宇宙的设计如果只是为了说人有各种可能，那这近乎是在说废话。
看的时候狂轰滥炸，回想起来趣味无穷。例如设定：彻头彻尾的失败，才能诞生出多个成功的平行宇宙，她的潜能仍旧有被借用的机会，多么振奋的后现代叙事疗法。例如人物：中年妇女的碎片生活，青少年的虚无主义，男人的心软战斗法则，审计员缺爱才尖刻。例如关系：母亲的控制让女儿虚无，女儿的世界渴望被倾听，同性只是冲突的爆发点之一，背后是情感交流的阻隔。例如美式食物细节：过量的芝士，桌板下的口香糖，空虚的甜甜圈。我的“中产阶级”审美不断被挑战，直到石头安静的哲学对话抚平我的烦躁。结尾这么多线索居然也能收拾完好，惊为天人！这才是#the worst person in the world
这电影很绝，绝在用了几乎所有我对影视创作最讨厌的元素，集结拍成了这样一部混乱（自说为天马行空）的电影。电影从头到尾用了无数人物平行宇宙中的人脸特写剪辑成一堆，急速跳越企图做到瞬息全宇宙的概念，却不好好沉下心讲好任何一个宇宙里的故事。男主选角失败，插菊花大战、头顶干脆面大战，以及les情侣之间变成柔软的香肠双手，用脚弹琴等令人看得坐如针毡，最后来了两块石头，对白又苍白无力，看看《红楼梦》中的石头记，曹雪芹早在两百多年前就抒写得更富有哲理和想象力了。如果要小成本和比创意，不如从头到尾就拍那个山崖上的两块石头，从头到尾出字幕对白，讲好故事讲好人生大道理，倒也是一种新意。这样一部讲述家庭和母女关系的奇幻片，它本可把该讲的故事讲感动的，比如外公抓住gf的手用粤语说“女朋友”时多美好啊！
有点惊喜，虽然本质上是一个母亲的自我审视，但其丰富的脑洞和精彩的视听语言还是觉得眼前一亮，石头的那个段落堪称精彩。不过这种优点也是缺点所在，后面剧情的疲软反而觉得有些审美疲劳了
中年妇女发疯文学，虽然最后还是 Love&Peace老套路，但真的让我找回了小时候热爱电影在录像厅激情澎湃又哭又笑的初心。

制造了黑化女儿的母亲在拯救女儿的过程中黑化，被爱人拉回来又在原生家庭中反复，最后合家欢的喜剧。
