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.
我也为此一直困扰，这会不会是哪里搞错了，我什么时候也能喜欢上女生，我自己才是最期待的。
感觉好像节奏有点慢
还是觉得不太得劲。最能表达主题的两场，一是女生领奖后抢过麦克风的宣言，一是男生躺在病床上对母亲的哭诉。都是用长段的台词来自陈自我剖析，很不爽这样的表达。
最怵目驚心的是，跳樓的那一剎，把所有在漫畫裡的美好幻想或意淫，在醜惡殘酷冷漠的現實面前擊得粉身碎骨。可是電影就是電影，他倖存且未毀容，還能為周邊所接納甚至鼓勵，也又回到漫畫二次元去了。鐵道晚霞之下，少年的愛太過純美。喜歡到想要成為他的程度，可謂心有戚戚焉。
明明是个很棒的题材啊，但真的拍得好平庸啊。异性恋秩序下，同性恋和腐女之间复杂关系真的展现地太一般了。至少去探寻一下为什么会有腐女这个异性恋群体却以同性恋为迷恋和消费对象啊。同性恋那头就是自杀跳楼自毁式报复社会。头大。最后又在什么毕业表彰会上抢话筒大表白，尬煽到群演们一起动情，然后在眼泪中大和解。
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。
现实就是这样，嘴上说支持谁都会，但实际遇到了又有几个人是能做到不去避而远之的。理解的缺乏是一个很大的问题。另外山田杏奈真的巨无敌可爱，可以说是我对JK所有印象的结合体。3.5。
骗婚gay可怜，同妻就不可怜了？愿世界对异性恋好一点。
如果这个世界上没有摩擦，我们可能再也不会前进
小说＆画画 拍成电影啦
看简介已经想翻白眼，实际比预想的好，如果拍成披着同性噱头的BG我会想杀人，而且也再次证明了gay is gay。
男女主选的很好，磁场很舒服，神尾这个角色意外的很适合他，女主也很招人喜欢，真想看二位更多对手戏
被形容为开头很恐怖，中间很搞笑，结尾很悲伤，故事是这样的：从前有一个鬼，他放了个屁，然后就死了...这部电影也可以这样三段论：开头很搞笑，中间很悲伤，结尾很温馨
好怪哦又感觉拍的挺好？？？ 女主真的好好哦(இωஇ)
这样的恋爱轻喜剧就是很好看啊！男主棒啊！学到了学到了！
同性恋不需要被理解，只需要被尊重，和人与人之间的相处一样，尊重差异。就像不需要去理解为什么有的人喜欢吃桃子，有的人不喜欢，有的人喜欢逛街，有的人不喜欢。同时不喜欢男主和女主的人设。非写实向，半fantasy，是个无法让我相信和享受的故事。
今年毫无计划地看了好多山田杏奈
虽说尺度，但是清水。忙内演戏路线越来越广了，冲颜值给个3星。
关于DS的轻喜剧，看的时候有一丢丢尴尬。可是狗狗能有什么坏心眼呢！
开局王家卫，后面全靠碰，每个人都有内心的小秘密呀～
