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.
有点《真爱至上》的意思，但几条故事线都没有太出彩的。
抛开又长又臭的故事不说，仅仅是野蛮女友的炒冷饭，吃相未免难看了。另外，我很气将允儿的角色设置成只闻其声不见其人的人设，要到最后才能见得到漂亮姐姐的身影就很离谱。
不知道说什么好
剪辑不好，剧情也不真实，不过还算热热闹闹，过年的时候看还挺温暖就是啦。叫醒服务允允！！！
平遥目前为止看到最惊喜的片子，泪点很多，抓心挠肝又不矫揉做作，关于生命尊严这件事其实关乎我们每一个人，直击现实，打到你的内心深处！
#PYIFF 看之前对片子不太了解 看的过程渐入佳境 长镜头＋松弛的表演＋阿兹海默症话题 最后超现实来的有点晚了但总算是等到了 想起来哈内克的《爱》低成本加一星鼓励。
“至亲离去那一瞬间，通常不会使人感到悲伤。而真正让你感到悲痛的是，打开冰箱的那半盒牛奶，那安静折叠在床上的绒被，还有那深夜里洗衣机传来的阵阵喧哗。”
比起《玩家》，这片成色和深度上了几个档次。虽然片头玩的伪长镜头有点刻意，但是很好地呈现了苏乌交替那段时期的纷乱和癫狂。劈友部分的暴力程度可见一斑。总体是一部充满宿命感和因果报应的片子。
或许我们应该直面它，才能更好的向前走。
剧本老套，情节错乱 不值得一看
影片聚焦阿兹海默症患者和家人的困境，关于生与死的命题、临终生存的尊严、现实的艰难。爸爸和妈妈演的很棒，中间几场爆发戏，尤其是浴室洗澡和爸爸自杀的部分，真实又直击人心。映后刘导交流说，两位老演员的表演很大程度上是现实本真的表现，对两位肃然起敬。整部影片感觉想表现的内容太多、有时候会显得过于复杂和连接不畅。最后一段“故土废墟”的表现形式稍微有点突兀，不过也符合导演想表达的故土和寻根的情怀，很有山西导演一贯厚重的感觉。加一星给导演的处女作。
来处是归途，人总是绕一个大圈又回到原处，就像女主与同学一次偶然的相遇。
典型的贺岁片，浓浓的圣诞风味，确实很《真爱至上》，群像戏，cp很多。最让我大笑不止的居然是姜河那，最让我鼻酸不已的居然是李光洙，也挺意外的。韩剧式的错过和巧合，当作故事来消遣也挺好，算是很治愈了。
和《新年前夜》半斤八两的水平。这种比较适合找电视剧的导演来拍。
乌克兰社会人的成长和陨落，讲的是故事，反映的是心情。谢佐夫加油
大杂烩式的莫名其妙，没有一条线的剧情是合逻辑的，根本就是想到什么就写什么。新年快乐，根本是强行快乐。
我要被李光洙笑死了他真的为什么那么好笑宝藏boy啊，姜河那已经很棒了但搞笑还是要论光洙第一啊哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈～
事实证明 这么多年过去了 真爱至上只有一部 其他的不是邯郸学步 就是狗尾续貂 不管故事逻辑 所有的关系都因为年末的气氛加上爱这一个字 变得美好甜蜜 小时候看还觉得浪漫 现在只剩下虚假了 所以说长大是不是好事呢 连童话梦都做不了了 允儿还是很美 但戏份也太少了 而且这个颜值气质 怎么也不像个没人关爱的接线员 韩智敏和李栋旭的两条算是最主线的剧情 也是最老掉牙的套路 只有屋里光洙在爱情电影里也只能谈工作 两星半 只当看个热闹吧
李振郁就打了个酱油，然后还给了张单人海报？害我白期待
思考（反抗）着生活的行动派是真正的tuff guy，可惜结尾还是草率了。
