A most pleasingly atmospheric rendition of the tale, noirishly photographed and moodily set, this is the version which probably would have delighted Conan Doyle the most. There is one important plot change which enables the beautiful Alice Brandt to enjoy both a larger role and a more intriguing part in the proceedings. This change also builds up the parts of Dr Mortimer and Lord Charles, yet at the same time provides a nice introduction to the is-he-sinister or is-he-a-good-guy Barrymore, deftly played here by Fritz Rasp.
Despite the sting of its well-developed story, the spellbindingly atmospheric direction and the engrossing performances delivered by the entire cast, many fans may find this version somewhat disappointing. For at least three reasons: As in the novel, the part played in the narrative by Sherlock Holmes, though vital, is minimal. And in this version, not only has no attempt been made to enlarge his role, if anything both writer and director do their best to minimize it. Holmes does not even make his entrance for half-an-hour, and when he does finally appear, he has his back to the camera. It is Fritz Odemar, as Dr Watson, who receives the more favorable camera angles. And there is a purpose in this. It is Watson, not Holmes, who figures as the main protagonist of The Hound of the Baskervilles. For the bulk of the narrative, Holmes disappears. It is Watson and Lord Henry (Peter Voss) who take up the running. The movie is almost over, before Holmes closes in on the villain. And even so, this is not the obsessed, self-important Holmes we are accustomed to see taking charge. Another problem is that the title hound itself does not figure a great deal in the action, a downgrading which will undoubtedly rate as another major disappointment for fans. And finally, it could be argued that the script gives too much attention to Conan Doyle's red herring, the escaped convict, and not enough to the real villain.
This said, it must surely be admitted by all, that Odemar's interpretation of Watson—intelligent, charming, level-headed, courageous and resourceful—is much closer to Conan Doyle's conception than either the bungling, inveterately stupid Nigel Bruce or the self-effacing Ian Fleming.
One other player deserves special mention: Erich Ponto (Dr Winkel in The Third Man) who seems exactly right for Stapleton. A difficult part, superbly played.

真的好无聊 看的频繁瞌睡 为什么要以save marriage这个nbcs的话题作为人物动机 还不如以好莱坞如何和政府抗争作为主题 J说巴登作为desi太丑疯狂出戏 剪辑也很跳
艾伦·索金编剧，拿的全是演员提名，没拿到编剧提名。本片的剧本也确实一言难尽，里面的人物塑造、剧情冲突以及议题的设置，浓缩在一周之内，依旧还是索金的水准，也因此让演员有了足够的发挥空间。但堆砌饿了如此多的议题，剧情臃肿无比，即使具体每一幕依旧优秀，但整体则平庸无比
还是说，索金还是好好写剧本吧，虽然这次比七君子拍的有意思一些，但一贯毛病是内容总是太过快速、华丽和炫耀以至于总是反应不过来发生了什么就到高潮了，让人感觉只有技术没有内核，此外，他的调度确实没有多高的水准。
这密密麻麻的台词啊，一不小心就被砸的眩晕，对背景不了解的很难不退出去再看一遍电影简介吧，索金这几部我都是从煎熬里挑出点惊喜，最后那场戏在背景乐下烘托的多煽情，承认被感动，但更多是立足在Lucille本身，妮可和巴登妆感都太重了，对手戏时像两具蜡像，妮可这个表演不差（也能理解先期影评的赞扬，事实上全片几个重点都落在她身上），但对映隔壁塔米菲的劳模，我有点审美疲劳了。
906｜表现欲爆表的索金这次真是讨人厌，导演水平逐渐下降的同时几乎放弃了正常的推进，于是我们就能看到这样的场景：男女主你一言我一语地搭着，然后恢弘的配乐响起，这时我们才意识到这里似乎很重要。整部电影都是如此，感觉索金拿着个手电筒给观众指点迷津：看！我要表现他们的感情了！看！伪纪录片！看！这个社会议题多么令人深思啊！可惜电影不是指哪打哪的打地鼠游戏，披上年代感的伪装也不能掩盖死气沉沉的事实。妮可·基德曼是压死忍耐的最后一根稻草，看到她那无时无刻装腔作势的僵硬的脸就烦。
三星半。妮可好多镜头都很像格伦克洛斯，面孔可以通过各种手段修复和保持，但是她的嗓音出卖了她，已经不如巅峰期了，但她仍然具有优势，围读会一场戏，她高挑的身材，手插在裤袋里挺立，只一个pose就把整场戏完成的相当漂亮。她在演想象拍摄的戏份也演得很好，专注专业令人信服，一般演员演一个过渡，一个状态，她有一种明确的东西在那个表情里，妮可确实是静态表演的高手，那场坐在办公室中望着海报等待的眼神也特别好。高光时刻是最后，丈夫在戏中戏里说lucy,I'm home，她停顿，你不知道她是否真的忘词，但是妮可通过这段戏中戏的等待回响，头定住，眼神扑闪，在情境喜剧里注入了奥斯卡级别的表演。
欣赏无能，空有其表，无任何营养，又在屏幕上重新看了一遍《塔米菲的眼睛》。简直如出一辙，今年的冲奥传记片是不是都想好了都去糟蹋电视夫妇啊？当然又是情景喜剧，但是不论从调度，表演都比隔壁完成度好太多，妮可基德曼和哈维尔几乎入骨般投入到，戏剧和生活已经是一体式了。艾伦索金用两个小时堆叠的故事，最后就是塞给观众满满当当的bullshit，看完就忘。成就演员还是成就剧本，他一开始就知道了。
现在妮可变成了angelababy了，僵化的脸去演需要脸部细节的喜剧……拍七君子的艾伦若金怎么拍的？？？好感败光了。说得好像是妮可拉着老公参演了一个很有名气的喜剧，最后婚姻事业都出现危机了，让我联想到现在满地的脱口秀综艺。
艾伦索金的剧本一直都是十分工整的，女主露西的角色亦是，但角色要表达得过多，且故事走向也越来越乏味无聊，整体看下来并不吸引人。妮可倒是把握住了演技全开的机会，很有层次感。
真的就花了整整3个晚上才撸完整部片子，传奇的演技是真的在线啊，尽管她脸上打的针都快僵硬成一块老面锅盔了，但这么多年过去，还是吃她的颜啊！
就电影而言真的又烂又长，妮可基德曼确实把女人的歇斯底里与神经质都拍出来了，问题是真的很难看
索金真的安安心心写剧本就足够了 他的天赋完全不应该浪费在影像上
好繁琐的但进入状态后又很精致的一部戏中戏，而且戏中戏的架构呼应简直是上乘剧本了。如果在多一些戏剧性反转，少一些过于强调个性和矛盾调和的戏份，让整个剧前后更加呼应，铺垫在关键环节更多一些，那么将更完美。。。还有为什么一部60年代室内传记电影的配乐搞得和秋日传奇一样燃热啊，硬生生烘托出了大片的感觉23333
在两条纠缠不清的剧情主线中我陷入了观影迷茫……（二刷：这次思路清晰了很多，故事主线就是露西挽救她破碎婚姻的过程。原来她才是现实世界中的旺达，凭借一己之力建立了一个美好的家园，在那里，她和她深爱的人一起过着幸福的生活。）
p.s. 最终男主还是栽在了分不清口红色号上面
看到结尾微微居然有点微微泛了泪光，在自我、时代、地位、爱情等诸多夹缝里渲染的情绪很能同感…很多人都在黑妮可基德曼我却觉得她演的巨棒！还有JK-西蒙斯也演得很暖
闪回倒叙完全拖累了叙事，关于I love Lucy的琢磨甚至不如Will and Grace致敬的那一集。
哈维巴登和尼可基德曼近年来最完美的表演。群像戏也给力。女主尼可基德曼是这次金球奖强有力竞争者。
索金剧本水准还行，下次别拍了...
