Novelist Joseph Shearing specialized in using real cases which took place in Victorian England, altering them for fictional purposes. MOSS ROSE in 1947 was the first film to be made from his novels, then in 1948 two of his works were adapted for the screen, this film and THE MARK OF CAIN. The movie stars Todd as a recently widowed missionary returning to her home in England from Jamaica. During the voyage, she meets Milland, a charming though dangerous rascal who is wanted by police in connection with some unsavory dealings. Milland contracts malaria while onboard the ship and Todd nurses him back to health. In London, Todd settles into her home, taking in boarders to make ends meet. Milland arrives, moves in, and proclaims his love for her. Todd is thrilled, but it seems rather obvious that Milland is only toying with her. Milland finds some letters written to her by her friend, Fitzgerald, in which Fitzgerald reveals some of her sexual indiscretions. Since Fitzgerald is now married to the wealthy Huntley, Milland believes he can use the letters to blackmail Fitzgerald. Todd's love for Milland is so great that she goes along with the plan. Huntley, however, learns of the scheme and also uncovers details of Milland's shady past. Fearing for her lover's safety, Todd poisons Huntley, then remains silent when Fitzgerald is arrested for the murder. Milland has by now genuinely fallen in love with Todd and the two make plans to leave England. Before they can depart, one of Milland's former lovers shows up and Todd, in a jealous rage, kills Milland, then turns herself into the police.
This is an intriguing film, although a little on the talky side. The performances are excellent throughout, with Milland shining as the cad, the type of role in which he excelled. Though he spent most of his time making films in the US, he occasionally returned to his native England for a production and this was his first British film since FRENCH WITHOUT TEARS in 1939. Director Allen was also an Englishman who chose to work in the US, this being his first directorial effort in his homeland. This was the fourth and last time Milland and Allen would work together, their pairing having begun in 1944 with the wonderfully eerie THE UNINVITED.
有很多隐喻但是不生硬炫技，很回味的电影。快结尾的地方很有意思：莱达看到妮娜与自己相似的纠结和共鸣，终于把惴惴不安的秘密直接告诉了妮娜：自己拿走了娃娃，结果妮娜扎伤莱达，担心违背预期落了地，很无奈也很现实
不想成为母亲的女人成为了母亲。细节处理的地方很好，音乐和那些恍惚的部分处理得太好了。对女性的处境细节描述得特别尖锐。
低配侯孝贤了属于是；台湾土味（非贬义黑帮片别有风味
看《少年吔，安啦》，不知為何看到最後，我突然想起了古代中國的俠士小說，少年渴望揚名天下，得一寶刀江湖逍遙孰，卻不知他們只聽過的江湖傳奇只不過倖存者的故事，少年舞刀，每一刀都瀟灑，每一刀都向死，他們怒放著青春，也在不知不覺中追逐死亡 ，暴雨洗去血水和眼淚，唯餘人生海海。
剧本不错，音乐铺的太“过”，回忆和现实的两层空间转场等用的中规中矩。“削果皮”是和孩子情感的链接，这是作者私人化的原创标识，是她个体情感的记忆；玩具娃娃道具作为叙事支点用的也好，女人在事业和孩子之间的两难选择也没有过分说教，只是呈现了不同于多数人选择的另一个视点。
居然把这部忘了，补标。
3.5⭐
本来可以更好，向欧洲电影靠拢的那种好，但闪回的段落实在过多，让本来可以保有的若有似无的神秘及恍惚 和本可以留给观众去想象去填补去回味的部分，全部交给闪回固定死，失去了诸多韵味。变得很好莱坞。
3.5，科尔曼的表演很迷人，似乎自带一堵墙，但同时吸引人跟着她进入一场迷局。原来不是The Lost Daughter，而是The Lost Mother.
上个项目的摄影推荐给导演的片例，据说故事概念和情节非常相似。项目结束才有时间打开，虽然没看出多少相似，但被影像风格调度深深吸引，尤其前三十分钟，好看。
暗流涌动，层层叠叠，内容藏的很隐蔽，母女境遇的周遭和救赎，对男权社会的反抗 有点东西
全片埋在無法預料的懸疑氣氛中，就連真相披露以後也還是令人不安，不是個愉快的觀影過程。
这题材我没兴趣，估计有孩子的会体会更深，但是电影是好电影
这个台球室真的不是《最好的时光》里面的台球室吗？！
太真实了，很raw的画面 很raw的情感。群戏也厉害，连小孩子都演得好好...
原聲帶能不能加出CD，好想收ㄛ🥺
表演上应该是今年五个提名里难度最高的一个角色 Colman恐怖的技术又再拔高了演绎难度 把一个不太讨人喜欢活在过去阴影里的高知女性演得很出彩 Maggie的编剧和执导看不出是第一次 平静尖锐 转场老练 主题上感觉对女性困境的描述不是主要的 而是作为一个女性 可以跳脱出妻子母亲的传统身份 作出不负责任而忠于自我的决定 即便是错的 但是能自主选择的就是好的
作为生活中只担任过女儿角色的我，来看这部电影，那种对爱的回应的渴求无果，强迫症般，多么熟悉，如此窒息。本想可怜被孩子玩弄的手中的娃娃，却赫然发现她对着娃娃叫妈妈，而这个被蹂躏的娃娃却又被女主偷走尝试修复，一个又一个的连环，一圈套着一圈，这就是作为女性永远也逃脱不了的人生困境。可笑的是，虽然家是所有一切的罪魁祸首，但家依旧是那个落荒而逃的你的避难圣地。
音乐非常非常非常好！其实全片的音乐都听了好多年，现在才看电影。
