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.
弥补去年被退票的现场，挑在911二十周年上线也很合时宜，主题嘛，来自陌生人的最大善意
发出我活了二十几年的最大疑问： 小伙子一小时多少钱🥵🥵🥵 （婶还是在发光啊我爱她！） 看得过程一直咬嘴唇 说正经的，文戏真好，完全可以改改换到戏在剧场演
20 years. Still remember every minute of that morning. This is recorded from live theater. Fantastic acting.
工整的“踩点式”剧本，匠气重，让我想起《婚姻故事》的写法。男主从人设到表演都很端着。 影片整体中规中矩，故事发展全在人意料之中，但女演员结尾处获得高潮后发自内心的愉悦的笑容，及对着镜子与自己坦诚相见的样子，仍然令人动容。我们需要更多关注女性的电影。 （在一场性交易中，女性作为付费的一方，作为逻辑上的剥削者，却仍然下意识将自己放于被凝视的位置，担心自己会不会太老、身体会不会太丑。这是一个不比女性欲望轻松的女性困境。）
今日被影版DEH伤碎的心靠CFA来拯救了😭
电影本质上跟男主是一样的，提供一种幻想服务，重点是 find your pleasure and honor it
Fantasy？no. Liberation？YES！Even a first step！
好棒的小品啊，在极其有限的空间里，治愈了两段生活。
这种封闭空间全靠对话推进的少数人的舞台剧型电影，英国人玩的最溜。无论套用什么样的大环境和目的，还是需要靠人物关系推动剧情进展的。两代人观念的碰撞与和解，理解与自省才能达到有效交流。Emma Thompson真的是从年轻美到老，尤其第四段，我爱她布满皱纹的容颜和镜前的全裸
很感动！开始感觉可能有点闹腾，而且因为每个演员都担任了好几个角色，会有点错位的诧异感。不过最后那种厚重感和爱的传递的正能量还是传达到了，尤其是从那些人起飞离开后开始，那种怅然若失，挺戳人的。
在世界的边缘呼唤爱
空气甚好天空湛蓝。
过于写实的音乐剧，看起来会有点像春晚小品。
没条件去看现场的穷人表示这部音乐剧光是bootleg就已经超好看了，默默希望百老汇/伦敦西区音乐剧放出官摄变成常态，为了不影响档期卖票完全可以延后几年再放出来，那些超珍贵的OBC摄影只存起来真的是太可惜了~
Bravo
真的很厌恶女主角这种人但也觉得她很可悲。这样的性也很可悲，我个人看来。
欢快又充满力量的歌舞片，对人性有力的赞颂。虽然来自远方，但彼此没有距离。最后演奏家集体演奏的《Screech Out》真的太嗨了。
天下没有不散的筵席
二个人的对白剧，通过“深入”了解的过程打开人与人之间的防范。结合欧美文化是一种对彼此肉与灵接纳的唯美的表达，现实做不到的浪漫越是无比憧憬。
再来补官摄，无论是立意词曲还是表演都是很完整的作品。突然想起本来2020是可以看到澳洲版卡司来上海演出的啊。。希望平行世界里已经看了。
