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.
爸爸和儿子都不要再恨自己了
画家的传记片，一个出生在并非很正常家庭有些疯癫画家的人生。他有疯狂的想法，行事亦乏条理，还得照顾五个姐妹与母亲。他与家庭教师的短暂婚姻，则改变了自己的人生。他对亡妻的深情，让他成为一个专门画猫的画家，并广受欢迎。他在疯癫与寂寥中，走向了人生的终结。
有不少画面真的很好看，但总体来说有点碎，猫咪很可爱，装饰性时不时让人想到WA。
叫奇迹的电影有很多，好像每个国家都有一部叫奇迹的电影吧，其实也是符合当下的时代的，因为不管在那个国家那种文化的情况下都是会有平凡的人创造着自己的奇迹，一个失去母亲和姐姐的人，像是被命运诅咒了一样但依然通过自己不懈的努力，坚持的坚持完成了不可能的事情，也得到了亲情的大团圆，一个人，一个小小的车站，一个不放弃给总统写信的年轻人…还是挺感动的，可以给7分的一部电影！
允儿这一段更自然点，轻松喜剧爱情效果，甜。
不可能存在的女朋友与无法真实存在的姐姐，多少显得有点虚无，这或许也说明了奇迹为什么会叫做奇迹
Waititi出现的时候我惊了hhh 但是电影实在太无聊了这比昨天那个first world problem还没意思（戛纳嫡系就是比电视导演强啊） 竟然看到了sex education的Aimee Lou Wood 她实在太像装了假牙的felicity jones了
爸爸和儿子都不要再恨自己了
真好看，让我想起假如爱有天意的感觉，虽然剧情并不同，但很温暖，方言加持演员演技剧情推进都没的说，韩国人在这方面做的真好，总是知道在哪里使力，让你哭到眼睛疼，却也会傻到可爱傻到笑，很温暖，家人是这世上最打动人也是最容易共情的关系话题，强烈推荐～
本尼个人秀，4:3画幅胶片摄影。猫是爱的拯救和传递。
事实证明，四比三画幅才有油画感，情节简单，但路易斯韦恩画是在太好了，卷福好评，peter和其他出演猫咪好评。艺术家疯狂而潦倒的故事线略老派
隐藏在偏僻小村自建车站故事后面的家庭温情剧，家庭线特别是姐弟线感人饱满，但车站建设和男主的天才过程又太草率了，略拖沓。

韩国这个小县城也有点儿惨，天天走火车道才能出去，经常出事故。情节稍微有点儿单薄，允儿的戏份可有可无，主要的就是男主和父亲的感情线，沉默的误会然后打开心结，父亲也有点儿像我的父亲
这种艺术题材的电影当然要融合艺术家本人的风格，而这部作品也不例外。大量的呈现给观众的视角仿佛都透着几分不真实，带着几分彩画的影子。
有几个画面真的很美，导演也很会用镜头和音乐传递感情，文本写得很有趣，演员的表现也相当好，基本可以掩盖叙事节奏上的问题。
影片中两个场景，足以五星好评！更何况本尼的演技令人折服！影片已然讲出了人生的真谛，人生本是不幸，我们把美好的折射出来，即可！
温情满满，剧情不出彩，不过仍然很喜欢，感觉演员表应该把姐姐往前排啊🤔，林允儿其实不算女主的说。其实我有个想法，把姐姐离开那段换成男主下车后姐姐留在车上，然后男主看着姐姐随列车远去，一束光总感觉有点突兀
画，画没讲彻底，情，情没整明白，猫，猫没拍多少，贯穿始终的只有病，，我就来看猫的啊
别再说中规中矩了，心甘情愿承认诸如此类的传记片拍了和没拍一样，故事叙述本身可能还不如公众号文字灵巧生动，虚情假意的情感还要往猫身上靠，二者联系如此单薄无力，对演员也没有任何加成。没必要，就是没必要。
