Alex de Renzy (FEMMES DE SADE, PRETTY PEACHES) was one of the greatest directors of adult films ever, his career starting in the late 60's and preceeding well into the 90's. So saying that BABY FACE, stands as his crowning achievement is no small praise. This ranks as one skinflick that truly has it all, a complete storyline, fine production, and a couple of decent acting performances and some of the hottest sex scenes ever assembled in a single movie.
Big, lumbering Dan Roberts stars as the hapless construction worker who has to go into hiding following his seduction of underage but willing Priscilla (Lyn Cuddles Malone) which incurs the wrath of her religious fanatic of a man. After a near-fatal accident leaves him unconsciously drifting in the bay, he is saved by fan favorites Amber Hunt (FIONA ON FIRE) and Linda Wong (SWEET CAKES) who clean him up and then some. Hunt comes up with the brilliant idea of taking him to the Training Camp, a brothel catering exclusively for rich women and run by her aunt, affectionately referred to as the Champ.
This fancy cathouse provides the perfect backdrop for the movie's myriad sexual situations, nearly all of them handled with great style and enthusiasm by cast and filmmaker alike, shot through with a wickedly subversive humor. Standout scenes include gentle giant Roberts tender initiation of the eager Malone, their contrast in size providing an instant thrill all by itself, and the late great Kristine Heller taking on pretty much all the guys present in what has to stand as the single greatest gang bang sequence ever committed to film or video.
好奇女演员的导演处女作，看的时候屡屡想到费兰特，也在想这个片子的文字表达，看完发现改的是她的小说。
但不管怎样，孩子是无辜的，大可不必生孩子。剧本很好。
好至郁。女人如果能和男人一样过得自私点，可以省去一生中至少90%的烦恼
由单一角色内心外化的完全女性主义的影像
不喜欢那些闪回的过去，要是能用当下揣测过去的话会更有新意。科尔曼演技真是一流。
Struggling to decide whether I like the film, the entire casting, or Maggie Gyllenhaal. A bit rough at the beginning. The best cast credit card I've seen. The score is so good that even I noticed it, also Peter Sarsgaard's chest hair... I think I love this film.
其实都只能证明导演既没能力打造出一个完满的人物，也根本就不相信他们写出的人物。
好棒的电影处女作。the lost daughter 不如说是the lost mother。女人一旦成为母亲，这个角色就要背负一生，不管是爱自由爱学术天生自私，简直无处逃离。
除了青年勒达的歪嘴演技略显浮夸，剧本，女主，音乐，颜色，镜头，等其他一切都是五星的。
对于导演和演员确实觉得足够的肯定，也承认是好的作品。但看的莫名糟心（应该是无法共情和理解）
精彩绝伦的处女作。寇曼演得太让人相信了。可惜，过去的片段几个矛盾点拍得太具体了。
8/10。当你有了窒息感与压迫感，总要靠喘一口气来疏解，千万别憋着。
亲子关系本来就是欠债讨债，而且女主这性格居然会生第二个娃，也是神奇
3.5，虽然还没看《平行母亲》但感觉这部更适合叫这个名字，演员们的发挥都很棒，不过母亲角色的挣扎是不是可以拍的更深刻一点？再加上原本就有的细腻会更好
靠演员的演技撑起的一部电影，让出轨、抛夫弃女去婚外恋的女人看上去不那么讨厌了。决定怀孕前推荐看这片，可以提前知道自己将面对什么，付出什么。恋爱如果是生命中的必须品，生孩不是。
{★★☆} 叫做失踪的女儿，讲的其实是失格的母亲。强调失格对母亲造成的创伤，又对失格对孩子施加的影响避而不谈。我不是说这些做法都不对，不可以--但着墨精神体验的电影首先要让观众走进角色，Maggie Gyllenhaal眩晕的闪回和Leda古怪的行径都只让构思停留在空中楼阁。所有人都在夸奖Olivia Colman的演技，我坐在这一锅乱炖的粥跟前，一口都吃不下去。
演员找得真好，年轻时的样子和现在还挺像。三个女人一台戏，完全撑起了整部影片。Olivia很适合演这种“自私”“不正常”有点阴暗的角色。就片子呈现的这些，让我还没有觉得几个小女孩很聒噪，反而是身处那样的家庭环境下让我更觉得窒息。现实生活比电影呈现的难多了，所以母亲的痛苦才要更强调。
Trailer非常的deceitful,以至于当我发现这其实是关于the lost doll（like..literally!)的故事时还有点难以置信。除了Olivia Colman出神入化的演技以及Dickon Hinchliffe完美契合的score外，我却只能说Maggie Gyllenhaal作为auteur or storyteller都是刚刚及格的水平 ---我实在想不出一个比来自academia的中产白女haunted by the dark past regarding motherhood还contrived的设定了，特别是还选择这样一个故事作为directing debut，实在令人汗颜。故作高深的dialogue和editing背后，是人物的单薄和动机的缺失，令人无语。
继续补看奥斯卡提名影片，这部暗处的女儿获得三项提名，包括最佳女主角和最佳女配角，这部电影确实都是女人的戏，表演很细致，不过最终想表达什么最后也没看懂
故事梗概：一次糟糕的假期。看片名以及海报以为是海边的曼彻斯特，看了一段发现原来是佛罗里达乐园，想起我下这片的原因了。片中有不少让人炸毛的片段。
