Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
瀑布这个概念太贴切了，既是幻听、也是幻视，家庭关系的洪流，生活的洪流，时代的洪流，生活中这些到处涌动的暗流，轻轻的卷起来，就能够吞没普通人的幸福。婚姻失败、疫情隔离、家道中落、思觉失调……罗品文的故事就是一道无情直落的瀑布，是不断下坠却无计可施的人生。影片的最后，那个拉了好久好久的蓝色防水布终于被掀开，这座建筑的施工终于结束。阳光顷刻间，重新洒进了这个房间。生活恢复如常。“不要再问我你还好吗？我答应你，我会努力好起来。”
像电视剧，直觉告诉我钟孟宏可能是个会关注比特币、NFT and 元宇宙的人。
大楼戴着「口罩」，人戴着口罩，心戴着口罩，距离成全困兽们的空间。阳光透过帆布，撒下带有氯气味道的蓝，像游泳池水底，水面上的喧嚣越发显出耳畔的死寂——疫情在故事构建中的最佳运用范例。
已经习惯钟导的节奏了，看得十分亲切。电影最后女儿幸免于难，其实与导演听说的那个故事结局不同，《好莱坞往事》式的温柔。现在6.4，看看得奖后会不会升。
结尾突然的山中泄洪，贾静雯从绝望逐渐到恢复希望的过程，给这部从离婚破产抑郁的母亲到最终重获阳光的电影剧情做了收尾。母亲患病后母女相互依靠的细腻温柔，还是能看到电影里的人情味的。其实每个人都有难堪的过去啊。
画面很不错。有点阳光普照的影子。但是剧情的起伏和演员的演技弱了点。贾静雯的演技不错。
钟孟宏所有作品都着力于生活的脆弱和不堪一击，想必给公司起名甜蜜生活也是种反讽。有钱的没钱的，相聚的离散的，最后都被生活之苦冲刷干净了。
我还是很吃这种路数。你脑中的瀑布，变作一场无预警泄洪将我淹没。不要再问你还好吗，我会努力变好，我们一起好好生活。Don‘t sweat it。
在母女關係中的人才能共情吧。賈靜雯最後那句呼喚值10000分。
钟孟宏的电影有种小说感，一些对白，如牛排店的对话；一些镜头，如夏日的空境；一些转折，如真实的抓蛇。既戏剧又诗意。即使相同的剧情，这边的电影也不容易营造这样的镜头效果，那边的配乐和气候经过几十年来的积淀已经被人为地赋予某些意义。
情感如瀑布宣泄。两小时左右的电影需要耐心看。
整体的电影色调是那种很舒服的明亮感，画面很通透，人物打光很足，故事是传统讲述和细腻表达，不过整个框架太平缓，没有太多的冲突，总觉得少了些强烈的主题，延续富有特色的清幽配乐，贾静雯和王静演技可以的（里面口罩大小不合适，总是不贴合面部；台湾的房产中介这么良心的吗，让人直呼666。）
从阳光普照，再到这部，我彻底认同钟孟宏了，电影背景是疫情下台北一对母女的状态，瞄准女性，确实空间更大，因为女性身上更有东西说。演技方面也很有展现的空间，很多场景都是带着口罩的，只能用眉头和眼睛来表现。最后母女在不同空间的对话很精彩，母亲担心着女儿，女儿的衣服上的字是don't sweat it。生活一定是最艰难的，可是未来怎么样谁能知道呢？
这种类型的片一不小心就会陷入个人演技的表现上，最后就有种为了得奖而制作的感觉。整体上说贾静雯的表演是不错的，但是无论是对防疫也好，经济也好，很多外界因素的表现都有点表面和刻意，而对于人物本身其实也是做得比较浅了，结尾的瀑布绝对是莫名其妙大烂尾，只能讲从电影的角度有点一般了。
病院德加赛马，卖场同事牛排BGM疗伤
迟滞而舒缓的镜头，忧郁沉闷的蓝色，精湛细腻的表演，把观众带入一个精神疾病的内心世界，随着她的悲喜而起伏。贾静雯和女儿的表演都很到位，配乐尤其出色。
口罩高概念的蓝色滤镜有种另类美，钟孟宏基本盘的摄影还是很稳。疫情背景下的女性阶级跌落故事，母子反转的惊悚过后，回归治愈的家庭故事难免有点落俗套。喜欢结尾泄洪来的那一段，茫然无措的女儿听到类似“瀑布”的声音，在那一瞬间身体也感受到了母亲的思觉失调。台湾这些演员来来回回客串，陈以文“你考过驾照吗”有点好笑。
前半部分有些压抑，后半部分就打得很开了顺。瀑布可以变成溪水，但无预警的泄洪也可以让水变成急流。有苦难也有自愈，放下生活里的执念，还有更多可珍惜的东西不是么。
失调的家庭生活，柔和的光线与并不刺眼的色调之下却是一个在内部溃烂是家庭关系。原本以为只是一部更内敛更狗血的家庭惊悚苦情剧，直到发现贾静雯有病的时候，我内心欢呼“GOTCHA MOTHERFXXKER！”
7.2 像一部60分钟的四星短片被扩张成120分钟的体量，内容够了刻画深度不够，特别是父亲的角色薄到可有可无。中介的戏份突然的高大上，魏如萱的角色突然很治愈，都是表现上不够细腻的处理。
