American psychologist John Holden arrives in London to participate in a symposium aiming to expose witchcraft and devil-worship as a fraud, with attention centered on a cult run by a Julian Karswell. Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].
导演只是想拍一个童年回忆，为什么要求他处理北爱极其复杂的政治和宗教冲突，当然他也处理不了
@STHLM电影节 太适合做闭幕电影了，忧伤又暖心。爱尔兰版jojo rabbit
我这么喜欢爱尔兰都喜欢不起来这个片，是真的拍得够没想法的。
清晰细腻，温暖动人。在严酷的成人世界孩子们无知无觉地快乐着。人物刻画到光影处理都是满分作品。
“走吧，再也别回来。”
那是已经纷乱的土地，它唯一的价值是，小男孩在学会识别差异之前先学会了爱。
很喜欢 虽然很多人拿来与罗马比较，但私人认为比罗马更有共鸣更易代入。尤其中国也有那么多离开家乡的人。里面的妙笔太多了 帮外孙出主意作弊的爷爷 画丝袜的奶奶 抢加酶洗衣粉的孩子，为了和心爱女孩坐一排而拼命读书的小男主，拉帮结派的小太妹……家乡的符号不就是由这些元素和妙笔组成的吗？
三星半。运动镜头很流畅。Van Morrison快要承包BGM了
看了三次才勉强看完，沉闷做作混乱。本来不想打分，但是鉴于甚至上了很多榜单那表明我的态度就给两星吧。
北爱版《童年往事》，巧的是被套上了北爱的激进岁月，呼应了当下这个大撕裂的时代，每年的颁奖季都有这么几部私心重又步步踩点得分的命题作文，应景但并不讨巧，顶多是这个风口的注脚。
看过风吹麦浪，对北爱尔兰那段历史还蛮感兴趣的，片子黑白质感不错，但是有点做作，也不喜欢时不时来段歌曲。
每个导演都有一个童年往事，但拍好是另一回事。
多说一句，这个电影居然能拿奥斯卡7提我真的有无语到…如果能拿最佳影片我可能这辈子都不相信奥斯卡了。
好戳我啊！立马找了Van Morrison 的专辑来听！
“你为什么拿着那种洗衣粉？” “这是加酶的”
可还是忍不住回想，因为是家，是故乡。
一上映就带孩子去看了，反正孩子看得很开心，说还想看
完美的亲子电影，剧情连贯，角色生动，音乐也很棒。
糖水片，六十年代北爱尔兰中产的账单烦恼，离开熟悉环境的抉择，难以共情的童年乡愁。
5.3 一个馅饼切成几块足矣，但吃前非要捏得粉碎（主观叙事碎片化）；糖少放点就够了，但它偏偏要搞得齁甜（配乐满得莫名其妙）；馅料看上去挺足，然而却不入味（尴尬单薄的情感表现力）；厨师忘记在表面撒上糖粉，还是不正宗（画面太"新"，像个做旧不彻底的电视电影）。传承于肯尼先前作品的舞台式布景，到头来还是如作戏般轻浮。M夫人与荒原老狼的罗曼史，乃观影过程唯一戳人的动情之处。提名奥斯卡BP不是离谱，而是谱子从中间直接裂开。😠
