For 27-year-old Ben (Josh Lawson), life couldn’t be better. A well paid job, friends, parties, girls and nothing to tie him down. But when he is invited back to his old school to join several other ex-students including Alex (Rachael Taylor) and Jim (Ed Kavalee) in talking about their personal achievements, something goes wrong. Ben is the only speaker not to be asked a question by the school kids. This triggers a year of soulsearching and looking for answers in all the wrong places.
From his best friend Andy (Christian Clark) whose solution is that they both take another holiday, to his mentor Sam (Lachy Hulme) who loans him a sports car in the belief that there’s nothing like excessive speed to resolve emotional turmoil. Not even Ben’s father (Rob Carlton) or friends Nick (Daniel Henshall) and Em (Felicity Ward) can offer much in the way of meaningful guidance.
Of course, it’s not easy seeking enlightenment in nightclubs, or on the ski fields of New Zealand, and when you start dating a Russian tennis star things can get really complicated. As the poster boy for a generation desperate to tick every box, Ben begins to suspect that the meaning of life may well reside in the things he's already doing - and a girl he used to know.

这种电影能拿戈雅奖多个奖项，说明西语电影式微。
当我看到电视广告"Cate Blanchette is the greatest femme fatale of all time"的时候就没办法不看这个电影了。第一个抱怨还是太长了。前后两段是两个电影吗。群星云集的，Bradley cooper其实不错。感觉是个警世片，几个教训：喝酒毁人生，不要和笑容冷艳颧骨高的金发美女打交道（适用于所有黑色电影），不管你怎么避免你都会最终变成你憎恨的父亲的模样。I still had a good time, along with 3 other people in the theater. Had a churro donut with ice cream. Absolutely delicious.
马戏团那一小时太过冗长了，要不是为了等到大魔王根本看不下去。进城之后的节奏一下子就对了，所有的贪婪、被包装成爱情的欲望、对“永不”原则毫不在意的放弃都随着宿命化为乌有。
视听出色，但是黑色氛围还是差口气，前面部分是陀螺的趣味，但是后面好像就不是一个调调了，过长的时长和缓慢的节奏让这两部分割裂感挺明显
大魔王和小白兔在《卡罗尔》之后的再度合作，这部到最后倒有点了不起的盖茨比那味了，虚假刻意的纸醉金迷。
道德寓言故事感太强，各种意义上的陈词滥调。
对不起，欧洲人对公平的追求超越了对效率的渴望。也有可能我被美式管理术PUA了。
陀螺考慮往丁度發展發展
7分吧，服化道摄都很美，后半部分很好看，喜欢结尾。
第一个小时的剧情和后面太不相关以至于我总觉得像看了两部电影
“墨西哥三杰”里，我最无感的就是陀螺。新电影看完，更无感了。和原版没差，他“翻拍”了一遍，没有创新。
前半段不得不沉浸在德尔托罗恋物癖式的美学趣味中 当重心开始叙事一切便开始崩塌
斯坦顿是一个穷困潦倒的男人，误打误撞之中来到了流动马戏团，在这里，他凭借着自己的聪明才智为自己某得了一份差事——为塔罗牌占卜师赞娜和她的情人皮特工作。从这两个人身上，斯坦顿学会了如何依靠巧舌如簧和敏锐观察来施展观众们眼中的“魔法”。
铺垫的太长了，后期渐入佳境，光影的质感是真不错。
感觉片子的节奏还是挺稳的，只是有些场景我是觉得真的惊悚。
7/10。前半段的马戏团与后半段的通灵术单看其实挺精彩，怪奇物具与幽暗人心都是陀螺的拿手好戏，可合到一起就偏偏变成了四平八稳的警世恒言，差强人意。
难以置信，陀螺在水形物语之后用了这么强的卡司就拍了个这？？？
这种电影能拿戈雅奖多个奖项，说明西语电影式微。
三星半吧，实在是太长了，一个半小时应该差不多，前半部分铺垫太多，最出彩的竟然是开头烧房子和致敬《克里斯蒂娜的世界》这一名画的镜头，结尾也算是粗糙的恶人有恶报的诠释？
