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.
除了故事很差，剩下的我全都喜欢。男女主挑逗暧昧的氛围营造的太妙了，景也拍的很美，看得我全程心砰砰跳。
西语片真的看一眼就知道是西语片，热烈直球，西班牙男人好帅！想起小时候迷恋的皇家马德里哈哈哈哈
俗套的🇪🇸电影，又是富家男主爱上傻白甜女主
en……纯爱电影也不能出现侮辱智商的剧情！
男孩的富豪父亲告诉他们兄弟三，男和女可以随便玩，爱情无益；女孩的妈妈鼓励内向酷爱写作的女儿出去派对，相信自己。很欣赏女孩妈妈的教育方式，片尾女孩发言说是男孩鼓励的，我倒是觉得妈妈鼓励的比较贴切。
看至1小时弃，男主平头帅哥，但是剧情太傻了，不得不说预告片剪的太好，落差高
6.1分。我觉得还行啊，起码比美弟的校园片好看。男主是真帅，女主太矮了点，不过脸还是很漂亮的。西班牙校园爱情，看着挺舒服的。
看这种青春片不能带脑子。ps：女主的肉腿让我印象深刻
哈哈哈哈小甜片。剧情真的很无聊诶就单纯看脸看身材。寸头浓眉猛男我可！短发女主整个造型好像伯德小姐，好看捏。
对十七岁来说有些幼稚了 对七十岁来说刚刚好
天哪天哪天哪，被预告吸引过来，结果就是说，这是一部和《五十度黑》《之后》一模一样的玛丽苏…偏无脑…一言不合就xxoo的剧…
当无人机比赛的世界冠军操纵起搭配上RED科莫多影视级摄影器材的穿越机，在洛杉矶天际线上空自由变换角度后俯冲切入剧情的运镜布置，前后衔接以超高强度、超快节奏的手持式、运动型蒙太奇碎剪；
这就是迈克贝的一贯水准啊，其实他连托尼斯科特都不如。
PSS：为了爆炸让那么多警车毫无节制的自己撞飞也是够了。
一星给男主脸，二星给女主屁股，三星给居然看完的我自己😅
反正就是说和wifi关系不大和太阳之子倒是有点关系
不用带脑子看的电影，选用几个高颜值的主角其实是非常明智的。
杂糅
满屏镜头光斑+使命转镜头+剪辑狂切+撞了又炸
大银幕Dolby版。迈克尔贝回血失败。看得让人只想把迈克尔曼Heat里的街头交火翻出来洗洗眼睛。太累了，拼命的追求速度感和那些满屏的视觉污染物，熬得观众也气喘吁吁。还借角色之口提了两嘴自己辉煌时期的前作，就开场一个近似的表达去回想一下当年The Rock是什么样的吧，怎样的高效、声画处理和配乐又是怎样… 一声叹息，无力吐槽了。
