A brief trip back home turns into a longer stay when Eric finds himself caught between catching up with his two sisters and conquering his old poker group. The more Eric extends his visit to prove that he is still the best poker player in town, the harder it becomes to steer clear of the old fault lines in his relationship with his sister Rachel. As their little sister Maggie attempts to recreate the intimate world they once shared, Eric and Rachel are faced with the divide between their childhood selves and the adults they have now become.
Displaying all the sensitivity and wicked humour of his previous works, Dustin Guy Defa’s new film is a shrewd study of the pitiless condition known as adulthood. After growing up in a family unit that constitutes your whole world, with its particular set of habits and a shared language, crossing the border into the realm of adults can feel disempowering, even terrifying. A sense of loss may be difficult to ever really overcome. The film’s meticulous structure and novelistic depth lay bare this fundamental fear, but also the resources that exist to fight it. Setting about this treasure hunt deep within as individuals and as a family is an admirable trio of actors whose interpretation is as nuanced as it is poignant.
well, it’s an orgasm,u know,it’s not a Fabergé egg.people have them everyday.所以小哥两小时到底多少钱

也许社会需要专业和敬业的服务，比如63岁的艾婶就无比敬业
线条好极了
我是大叔控所以对嫩鸭没什么感觉，艾玛·汤普森的真诚演绎为影片加分不少
一個人想要追尋真我永遠都不嫌晚。劇本設計大膽且有巧思，通過「優良的男性氣質」的代表 Leo ，以「經典男性氣質」自信地「教」Nancy 要丟掉世俗的規矩和自我束縛，並不斷地暗示他可以讓 Nancy 體驗高潮。但最後，Nancy 藉由女性自決的意識帶動了身體意識的覺醒，打破了「傳統女性氣質」的鐐銬，獲得了高潮體驗，煥發出全新的自我。Leo 的引導和陪伴很重要，但能掙脫自我束縛，走出社會教條規訓牢籠的，只有你自己。
很长一段时间内，我不仅从不会在镜中直视自己的身体，也不敢在影视中正视演员们老去的身体。哪怕是现在，我不再害怕老去但依然对自己的身体抱有微妙的感觉。啊...这该死的自我厌恶感...
剧本太精巧了，55岁的coming of age adventure，找到她从未有过的orgasm。单一场景容纳大量对话，围绕宗教和性工作，欲望、原罪被反复提及和质疑。仅仅是凝视和触摸leo饱满温暖的肉体，都让nancy感到眩晕。leo代表的neoliberal工作模式和nancy对为fantasy付费的不适应也导致了冲突的爆发。和解后的结尾一幕，nancy终于找到了高潮，是自己给自己的，predictable but powerful🥺好想赶快再看一遍。
不会被打拳吧？霍格沃茨只有一个艾玛，姓汤普森。
虽然过于理想化，过于干净和体面……但是内核，关于女性的自我探索不受年龄的限制，这一点很重要。
有点像亚隆写的心理学小说，咨询师和访客相互治愈什么的。整个交互太像心理咨询了，作为性工作来说就太假太理想化了。一切哪有儿有那么美呢。作为美好小品类的电影来说，裸露也没必要(要露就多露点，男主角的居居只露了0.1秒，看都看不清。)
艾玛阿姨的表演大师班，小牛郎也配合默契，真希望那场角色扮演的戏能出个番外，抛开衰老欲望这些话题，安心谈性。
Leo 是 good luck，Nancy 是 take care。不管怎样，又是一部再过100年我们也拍不出来的电影吧
爱岗敬业 美鸭典范。除此以外，电影对两个主角的自我价值认同及身体欲望的探讨都是一种脱离实际的臆想。男主在独处时永远会照镜子，到底是自我审视，还是自我凝视？如果所有人都认同电影所构建的价值观，便不存在说艾玛汤普森的出镜是一种牺牲，悖论就在这里。四星是给帅哥的。
很感动。在性面前，没有人是自信、完美的，尤其是一个年华不再的女人，她的不安和“边界”的消解都太真实了。奇妙的是，电影切入的是一个非常“男性”的叙事视角，是个“性转版救风尘”的俗套故事。但在性欲与价值的神秘张力下，通过极其琐碎具体的焦虑，凭着故事的价值观与演员的坚定与真诚，最终竟完成了最“女性化”的表达。并且把两人之间、两人与自己之间、两人与他们所面对的世界之间的关系讲的透彻明晰，蛮厉害的。
+ 转入人际的部分似乎回归英语片传统，部分消解了里奥所处的现实；关于工作和自我的部分亦显断裂。不论如何，关于身体和性 感的部分便已足够好——只是，为何要以最终实现的方式结局呢
不过不失的话剧电影，表面开放其实内核保守得像美国人写的剧本，相比之下几年前Sally field那部Doris倒显得大胆了。
抛开现实讲，影片里展现出来的真的是高素质、高情商、暖暖的善意和真诚
The toy will make it sooo much easier, but it will also deprive the fun of interaction and the feeling of being wanted by someone. However, what are the chances of meeting a top tier escort just like Leo? I think I will pathetically stay with the toy…
