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.
「我喜欢的是」/我们依然需要更多更多的这类电影
她喜欢的是bl和安藤
这片子是甜甜的青春爱情片
看错误题材了...以为是个标准套路故事...结果是腐女把弯男掰直的故事...
过于刻板印象，太局限。整个影片似乎只想表达出男同的举步维艰，并且没有达到很好的效果，还将腐女的加入变成了一种混乱。同样还带着一种男性化的视角，来表达整个影片。被欺骗的女生好像是一个圣母，她什么都像唯独不像一个活生生的女生。而欺骗他人的男生，没有通过足够的镜头和语言来交代出他的痛苦，莫名其妙且突如其来的跳楼更是让人不知所云。依我来看，该跳楼的恐怕是😅可怜的“同妻”女孩。
年纪大了吧，中二和理想化的部分不是很舒服。但“腐女爱上了男同，受伤后，与男同成为给蜜”的设定挺好。它给了我从没想过的角度：被腐女成天YY的童话，其实是男同的痛点，很令他们困扰的好吧。喜欢结尾半分钟，“你要是去了BL星球记得叫上我”“我还是在地球活着吧”，喜欢极了。
男同学和男主之间的“一辈子都是朋友”难到了我。为什么仅仅因为一个或几个部分，我却总想其整个的在我面前呢？为什么总盼望着：我的身体望着她的身体？
开头男主的内心独白让我想起了《唇膏》里的牧村纮毅（洼冢洋介）。。。说实话青春期的男同自我探索再怎么包装也改变不了他把女人当工具的本质。话说伤害他的一直都是他的同性（恐同与深柜），凭啥转嫁伤害到认同他的腐女身上还要人家包容他的一切。首先学会道歉和自我认同吧，凭什么让努力理解他的人去承受他的迷茫与痛苦。啧啧。竟然还从BL世界寻求认知。女主那段发言根本不是真正的性向包容，简直就是厌女而不自知。这部片根本不是对同性恋正视自我的探索，而是为那些鸡贼厌女的男同开脱。
为真实加🌟 「我明明希望全球的男性都是同性恋 但是唯一不希望是同性恋的男生是同性恋 」
站在女性视角来看这部电影，感觉有点糟糕……山田妹妹演得挺可爱的
偏见是无法消除的，因为同理心并非人人都有，每一段感情无论对错，最终目的是认清自己找到自己。
节奏非常好，角度小得恰到好处，并不想看到太多说教和大道理的启发式电影，这又不是公益宣传片，苦涩的生活里看一部这样流畅的小甜片让人感到很治愈。
嘶，到底是在侮辱homo，还是在侮辱腐女，我也分不清，但是真的，看完不知所云。283和神尾意外的和谐。只希望这种青春疼痛文学少点儿吧orz

神尾枫珠还是很适合这个角色的，帅还是很帅，可惜哭戏实在不咋样，导演还不停怼大脸，哭得好着急好尴尬，可能因为时长的限制，整体没有剧版的细腻动人
该有多好
男主他妈也有过同性的遐想，这一家人真有意思，我喜欢山田杏奈，但她的穿搭，以及后面的剧情烂到不想看
细节刻画的很好，中规中矩的BDSM科普教育片子，给3星鼓励一下，如果最后能不谈恋爱就好了……
三浦最后的那幅《初恋》真的太戳我了，怎么会有这么好的人🥺前半段真的一直在一边感叹神尾的颜正点，一边愤怒まこと就是在骗婚/出轨。希望有一天大家都可以不用遮掩，他人的歧视也都不存在。
比起剧版，真的好烂。没看剧版前有3星，看完后只能给它2星
