David, now an old man, is still king of Israel. Among his sons, the ambitious Adonijah and the clever Solomon. The two young men are fierce rivals, since both are prospective heirs to the throne and only one can be successful. During a hunting expedition, Adonijah challenges his younger brother Solomon to a chariot race. While Solomon, though brave, still retains a modicum of caution, the daredevil Adonijah is eager to win at all costs -- and loses control of his chariot. Solomon takes the seriously injured Adonijah back to Jerusalem. On the way there they meet the attractive Abishag, who despite her youth is versed in the use of healing herbs. She actually succeeds in helping the prince. Adonijah falls in love with Abishag -- but Bathsheba arranges things so that she works for David, hoping that her youth, her beauty and her healing powers will soothe the old king's suffering. Several members of the influential priesthood and also the respected army general Joab, who served David loyally for many years, support Adonijah's claim to the throne-- even though David has still not made any decision with regard to a potential successor. The battle-experienced Joab regards Solomon as an indecisive weakling, under whose leadership the kingdom would soon fall apart. When the prophet Nathan finds out about Adonijah's conspiracy he informs Bathsheba and Solomon, who urge David to take immediate action. And so it comes to pass that preparations to anoint the future king of Israel are made both at the Spring of Enrogel, where Adonijah and his men are encamped, as well as in Jerusalem. The festive procession for Adonijah has already been assembled and the people enticed with delicious delicacies to cheer him on, when the news of Solomon's coronation reaches Enrogel. The people promptly acknowledge the will of King David and stream off to Jerusalem in their hordes to greet Solomon, their future ruler. Adonijah remains behind with a handful of loyal followers. He realizes that he has lost -- for the time being. Humbly he places his life in his brother's hands. Adonijah is forgiven on one condition: that he always remains loyal to his brother Solomon. The great King David is dead, and his son Solomon has succeeded him as the rightful ruler of Israel. Adonijah now has a request to make of Bathsheba: he wants to marry Abishag. Solomon hears about this seemingly innocent wish, and recognizes it as a renewed ploy on behalf of his brother to reclaim the throne -- Adonijah's marriage to the last woman to share King David's bed would strengthen his political position considerably. Solomon knows that he has to act quickly and decisively if he is to secure his own power. He has his brother Adonijah and the latter's closest associate Joab executed. After this radical decision, Solomon withdraws to present sacrifices. In a dream the Lord appears to him and grants him the fulfillment of a wish, whatever it may be. Solomon merely asks for wisdom -- in order to become a good ruler and judge. War with Egypt is looming. To arm his kingdom against the territorial ambitions of its powerful neighbors, Solomon not only introduces several reforms but also decides to marry the daughter of the pharaoh. The Egyptian princess does not remain Solomon's only wife, however: as time goes by the king marries numerous noble women from many different countries for political and economic reasons. In this way he preserves peace for his people, and creates great prosperity. By allowing the women to continue practicing their domestic customs and religious rituals in Jerusalem as well, he comes into regular conflict with the priesthood, who see the foreign religions as endangering Israel's sole covenant with the Lord. The wisdom granted to Solomon by God becomes fully evident when the king sits in judgment. One day two harlots each claim to be mother of the same baby. Solomon's decision seems utterly cruel: he says that the child should be cut in two so that each woman receives half. Solomon can now determine who the real mother is from her reaction: she will not allow her child to be harmed. Solomon hands the child back to its true mother amid cheers of approval. One of the most important tasks handed down to Solomon by his father David is building the great Temple to house the Ark of the Covenant. It has to be larger and more magnificent than all other temples in the world, and Solomon now sets about fulfilling his father's wish. He places Jeroboam in charge of the Israelite workers as chief overseer. Seven years later, the work is completed. The expensive construction materials have been brought from far-off lands, and the people of Israel have paid exceedingly high taxes without complaint in order to finance the construction work. The Ark of the Covenant can now finally be taken to the Temple in a triumphant procession. After so many years of wandering, the Israelites' most sacred possession now has a fixed home of its own. People stream to Jerusalem from across the entire country to celebrate the great day. Abishag, now married, comes too and brings her family. Solomon has decided to mingle among the people in disguise, and he and Abishag are overjoyed when they accidentally meet again after so many years. The Temple makes Jerusalem and its king famous throughout the world. Even the dark-skinned Queen of Sheba sets off with a large retinue to visit the wise and cultivated Solomon and admire his magnificent city. The admiration turns out to be mutual: Solomon, captivated by her beauty, falls deeply in love with her. The two of them have a child, Menelik, but one day the Queen of Sheba decides to leave. She does not want Menelik to be deprived of the regal dignity awaiting him in his home country. Solomon stays behind, with a heavy heart. The king has now achieved everything he set his heart on, but with the passing of the years the wise Solomon gradually becomes a melancholy, skeptical old man who regularly questions his very existence. Material things seem to represent the only reality for him. He also refuses to adopt any kind of steady policy, especially in religious matters. With his foreign wives, Solomon sacrifices to foreign gods, and this incurs the wrath of the priesthood. The loyal Jeroboam appeals to his king's conscience, but to no avail. During one of Solomon's sorties in disguise among his people, a simple farmer reminds him of the first of the Ten Commandments revealed by the Lord to Moses: "You shall have no other gods before me." At another decisive moment, God Himself speaks to Solomon and announces the punishment for his sinfulness: the kingdom will collapse after Solomon's death. The king has grown old and weary. He has lost touch with the people of Israel, who are suffering from heavy taxation and forced labor. Solomon has treated his long-standing companion Jeroboam, to whom he entrusted the administration of the northern tribes, with murderous anger ever since a prophet predicted the division of the kingdom to him. The king no longer has the strength to change things -- he just leaves them as they are. The consequences of this become clear shortly after his death. Solomon's son and successor Rehoboam treats the country's leaders with arrogance, and provokes the division of the kingdom into two parts: the only tribe still loyal to him is that of Judah, while all the others unite under Jeroboam. The prophecy has been fulfilled. The kingdom that Solomon received from his father David, and invested with such might and magnificence, is now divided.
真心欣赏不来菲这种女性...无论何时何地都一副特别自信积极的样子，让人感觉很不舒服，而且总是一副要少干了自己的样子特别拼，可能跟我总是八字不合吧，我遇到很多次了...现实中她们多少都是五弊三缺，还有两个很早就去世了。人那么长么，不靠拼命靠长命。
非常工整且俗套的一部惊悚片，但也就是因为这样，它显得没有什么特点。影片最大的bug在于，你明明都可以用手机拍下监控器上嫌疑人的照片，但你却总是忘了拍下嫌疑人站在窗前的照片。人证物证都齐了，你老公怎么还能不相信你😅
女主植根于信仰，受困于信仰。她一直渴望被别人看见被别人喜爱，当我重新复盘自己两个小时的观影时我发现认同感才是她心中“上帝声音”的来源，当她认为自己做了不值得被认同的事情之后，那个声音也就随之消失了，剩下的就只有苟延残喘。
看完了这个脑子里一下子跑过很多人，比如说朱迪嘉兰，比如说惠特尼休斯顿。当一个人长时间绝对被大家需要的时候，恰恰也是她精神压力最大、失去自我的时候，但舞台给她的一切又使她最终成为了自己，多么谬误的现实啊，却一次又一次的成真。在舞台不再需要你们的时候，即使再热爱，也要鼓起勇气扭头说bye bye，就像当初你鼓起勇气站上它一样。毕竟拥抱孤独，也是美好的人生！珍重～
竟然把这种题材拍的如此温吞无聊……如果女主死了，凶手淡定离开，那种细思极恐的张力更大，结尾有种为了反转而反转的感觉
劳模够可爱，演这种drama queen也不觉得讨厌
麦卡·梦露继《它在身后》之后，又一次被跟踪，影片有一种非常古朴的气质，技法上再花哨一点，颜色再鲜艳一点，就可以完美复刻70年代的各种欧洲悬疑电影了。
总是跳戏蜘蛛侠，怎么破? 这个化妆厉害了 YF
属于劳模姐的"Judy"，整个模式都如出一辙，不论是优点还是缺点。但也正是因为劳模姐的表演，这些优点和缺点才得以成立，只是今年奥斯卡应该没法复制齐薇格的奖运。
这个片子，唯一做的好的地方，只有它对于沟通失效这一层的刻画。女子由于语言不通进入到一个陌生的环境，跟丈夫的感情也陷入到一种失衡的关系中。我下载的这一版资源，所有的罗马尼亚语恰好都没有翻译字幕，所以观众被迫着和女主角一起，陷入到一种孤立的、不安的、未知的，乃至被冒犯的境地当中，某种程度上也更能理解女主所经历的内心感受。但除此之外，无论是影片的氛围营造，还是主旨立意，乃至最后的情节反转，都建立得非常草率和勉强，整体还是非常无聊的，人物塑造也显得非常单薄。
现在的女导演，动不动就性别对立上了，流量密码用多了就不好使了。我觉得搞女权题材不是什么恐怖片的正经路子。
完全提不起兴趣的题材和人物。导演简直毫无叙事能力和人物塑造方向，根本不知道他想干什么。
离婚，然后找回自己的生活，是唯一不被杀死的出路。
无论发生什么 都不会忘记最初的信仰 无关金钱 无关政治 劳模姐演技绝了 最佳妆发也实至名归 最后 It's not over 'till it's over.
女主妆容很有特点，劳模姐褪去女强人外壳抱的小金人，传记类电影有奖运。
Jessica是个很好的演员，她可以为了一个角色改变说话的方式、节奏、音高，完全create出一个和以往角色不同的人物，这一点在Tammy Faye里再次得到印证。她值得拿奖，虽然完全可以因为一部更好的电影..而这部电影除了她的表演，一无所有...
确实是为劳模姐拿奖打造的 故事和人物开发非常浅薄 特效化妆也让两位演员像极了胖头鱼 加菲也演出了深柜的感觉 劳模姐前半段表演特别套路化 老年时期逐渐感觉才出来了
妆发和劳模姐的演绎与原型太像了！但没想到节奏能散成这样，像是短片扩容出来的。劳模姐不封后都对不起她长时间化妆损伤的皮肤😂谈宗教信仰，干的一直是违背宗教的事儿，上帝保佑美利坚。
劳模姐改头换面，完全不认识了，她就是塔米本尊。片子却一般，总体上是很平淡的讲故事，流水账，对比几年前的花样女王，这片子成色差很多。希望劳模姐能凭此封后，表演值得。
水准绝对在，但这种人物传记，真实记录片肯定冲击更大，印象深的地方是对自我沉醉的刻画，一直在做作的状态下，以至于越来越分不清“真我”，把自己抽空了。
