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.
#维瑟米尔真的很🉑
后面杀起来了，进卧室门之前戴夫是跟在老大后面的，不知道为什么转个头戴夫突然变成从屋外面跑进来……
网飞出品，必属精品。像这种大尺度动画电影请给我来一打！
这个片有点黑色幽默，有点荒诞，血浆也足。虽不能深究细节，但还是一部有意思的片子，值得一看。
白狼前传。老头还是纯情少年。交手太果断了，一刀断头。好久没玩游戏看见个妖灵水鬼都觉得亲切。
与巫师世界一样的残酷 冰冷 灰暗 一贯的两难抉择 没有绝对的好人与坏人 只有模糊的灰色 以及无常的命运
尺度比剧和游戏都要大，更加地黑暗，也因此更加深入地抓住了原著的神髓，没有是非对错，在如此残酷的世界里，大家都只能尽力地surviving。
聚焦杰洛特师傅年轻时候的故事，扩充了背景故事特别是如何成为猎魔人那一段。凯尔莫汉再次遇袭也是惨，就是这猎魔人的法印整得和龟派气功一样。。。
年轻的维瑟米尔比白狼还要帅，那场在游戏、小说中被无数次提起的凯尔莫罕大屠杀也展现得非常精彩。
打戏太帅了，女巫好帅。忘不了衰老的童年情人也有点浪漫。网飞如果愿意好好投资拍剧就好惹。
你不知道什么你听到过的故事就会寻到你的面前
故事拍的很有味道，无论是猎魔人还是术士都有好有坏，各自犯了错，也都付出了血的代价。打斗场面异常精彩，最后以手换首真的是决绝的选择。小杰洛特竟然是个光头？真的没想到~~~
明明3D的游戏，却做出来2D的动画，游戏里说好的OOXX呢？！开个玩笑……作品很完整，可惜了……
七分，男主老爹自带high点，可惜最后被反杀。
强烈强烈推荐大家看这个电影，前面20多分钟或者有点乏味，但是渐渐开始精彩。明明很残忍血腥的剧情，但是把我笑的无法喘息。老爷爷不死就好了。
“非我族类，其心必异”。回忆太多，反转太仓促。
太快了，所有人都赶着下地府的感觉
这个墨迹劲
2:虽然本质上是一部粉丝向的动画 但是很多地方又想照顾到路人观众 所以很多台词显得信息量庞大 但受限于83分钟的时长 大多数时候光靠角色一张嘴会显得台词冗长 啰嗦 并且缺少一个叙事重心 让整个剧本看起来处处浅尝辄止 非常单薄
唔……《女巫復仇記》，又名《獵魔人之供應鏈崩潰》。非常血腥，比較神經病。下半部比上半部好。
