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.
看到一半就开始想，不会整部电影都是女主的被害妄想症发作了吧，叫policeman来结果是搞了一场乌龙。
虽然很不喜欢女主前期的懦弱，但这就是本世纪全球女性的处境，男人明明自己迟钝还要职责别人敏感，还要按头让女人当疯子。女主很幸运，能捡了别人的枪反杀，我们呢？
没觉得电影好看，我倒是关注女主穿的各种衣服，很多小花刺绣的挺好看的
吓得腿软。狗男人要你有什么用，帮不上一点儿忙还没有同理心。
宁可错误相信第六感，也不放过任何一次可能伤害到自己的猜想。
语言不通的环境真的会把人逼疯。地铁上的“凶手自白”差点让我觉得凶手另有其人了，看到后面才反应过来塑料袋里是什么，真的好可怕……氛围很微妙，是那种会让人寒毛直立的惊悚。结尾稍微有一点不合理。不要住对面楼距很近的房子，以及一定要拉窗帘好吗！
虽然也有点套路，节奏感还不错，罗马尼亚布加勒斯特，萧瑟的东欧味有点。坐地铁塑料袋那里是最吓人。
导演对自己喜欢的电影作品的一种释怀，无新意、无趣、沉闷…
氛围挺好 就是有点假 那个丈夫 还有最后的割喉
这未婚夫不靠谱啊 都说被跟踪了还假装没事人样的 只顾着自己的工作前途 垃圾。女的也恋爱脑 语言都不通就跟着人一起了 白天还独守空房 不理解这两个人
6｜毫无灵气的average movie….女主好好看呀！
有点狗尾续貂，其实最精彩的是地铁上变态一席话直接把女主“将死”，如果最后女主也是文斗胜会好点，现在这样武斗只能说变态运气不好。
穷组，剧组团队其实完成的不错，奈何故事顺撇严重，不太合格。。
铺垫很长，没有营造出氛围。而是让我觉得无聊。。 女主来到了男主的国家鸟国，都讲鸟语语言不通。偶尔有年轻人说英语可以沟通。男主天天要去工作。女主偶尔配男主聚餐。自己只能无聊一个人在城市闲逛。但是她突然发现家对面楼里会站着一个男人一直看着自己。看不清。但是跟对方招手，对方竟然也招手。女主十分害怕。草木皆兵。去看电影也觉得后面坐的人跟踪自己。去超市也有人跟踪自己。吓得后面溜走。男主耐着性子跟女主去超市查监控，拍下了照片。并且报警让警察和男主去看看那个男人是不照片里的。男主回来表示女主无理取闹，就算是，也只是邻居去同一个超市买东西很正常。然而一切是因为男主女主逛街路过凶案现场。电视也报道说有个连续杀人魔杀了四个女性，还割头。女主反向跟踪发现住对面的人是一个酒吧清洁工。刚好里面一个舞女是自己邻居。
我真心觉得，最后应该顺手给她丈夫一枪，反正男人都该死
“真是个悲伤又恐怖的事情，不同的人从不同的角度看到的事情是不一样的”以上为看完地铁桥段的感想。细化画面质感、摄影风格，开头的后拉镜头nice，女主和凶手演的真好，剧情上很难不说有讽刺cop & man even it is your husband 的无用
作为女性，看完这个电影深有感触，那种好像有人在跟踪偷窥的感觉太到位了，而工具人老公那里果然无法获得什么真正的帮助和认同，最后还是要靠自己。
太真实了，短评说不要嫁到罗马尼亚？你以为只有罗马尼亚吗？那么全世界有男人的地方都是罗马尼亚，不愧是女导演的作品
老公们，男朋友们，平时多听听女伴们的第六感吧，女人的直觉一般八九不离十，这绝对是增进夫妻和情侣关系的良策。故事内核其实很传统，但影片的紧张感和未知感营造的很不错。
整体不如“偷窥者”好看，太拖沓啦，也就是铺垫过长，也只有女主的颜值支撑着，最后20分钟的反转还行，就是女主这样还能站起来开枪就有点离地，不过气氛营造尚算不错，没有太大bug，及格以上还是能有~
