After a holiday visit with his parents, Mikey is headed to the airport to return to his wife and newborn baby. Except he doesn’t board the plane. Instead he returns to his parents’ loft in lower Manhattan, back to his childhood room that has since been converted to storage. Unsure of his own motivations, he makes up excuses about why he’s staying – his flight is delayed, his flight is cancelled. A day passes, and then another, and he calls home and work to say he can’t return just yet – his parents are getting old, his parents are ill, time is too short. His doting mother is more than happy to enable his procrastination, while his artist father is suspicious. From afar, his confused wife grows increasingly unsettled. Meanwhile Mikey moves back into his room, digging out notebooks and mementos, calling on old friends. As the days go on he becomes more and more entrenched in his adolescent sanctuary, and comes to a point where he must choose between life as it is and life as it was. --© Official Site
小民喜好的就是谣言，造谣的媒体自然成为社会焦点。连捧带杀，多家媒体火力并开，谁又会想到这仅仅是为了制造热点，收割韮菜。男主有幸经历这一切，即便幻灭，平生亦足矣。
a curious sum of nothingness

典型的一个男人的“成长故事”；关于媒体 press；关于初心 理想 名利与欲望；浮华的表象 一碰即碎的泡沫。不是我喜欢的type 但有时间可以去看看原著/ 07.09.22@film forum
我真没想到会被这么古（老）典（旧）的叙事感染到，一些地方值得细品。
一星给旁白，帮助了解剧情。男主性格不好情商不行，结局在意料之中。
原著为电影加分不少，资本主义的道理几百年颠扑不破，底层人向上，在没有资本的情况下必须要站稳自己的立场。男主的演技略显呆滞，撑不起来整个片子…
表演一般，旁白来凑，表演最好的可能是报社那只猴子🐵，看到几百年前巴黎的媒体社会政治乱象挺有意思。德不配才自然不配财，终究镜花水月一场空。
他将停止幻想，他将开始生活，他将找到内心的力量。
曾几何时，
2022年4月20日观看。没读过原著，但这片子拍的还不错。
Vincent真的好会选角色…虽然拍得不算太好，但巴尔扎克拍电影比读起来更有趣哈哈哈哈哈。最重要的是印证了那句话，确实，总有人写的东西会被留下，会被记住。
名著改编保障了剧情。在这种时候看到这样的电影，不得不感慨前人的敏锐与深刻。放下幻想，认真生活。找到自己内在力量。
亮点全在原著文本和旁白了——因而我只觉得巴尔扎克好厉害，却并无导演什么事。
金句频出，挖苦四起，时评弹幕比主线情节精彩系列。
让我想去读一下原著了～巴尔扎克系列在现今社会越来越具有警示作用。
笔锋与爱，两种力量的较量。却输给了政治家！
五星给披萨和Coralie（和crêpe（虽然没吃
一个诗人之死：我曾经是好人，拥有纯粹的内心。文学照见未来，现实中又何尝不是为了“财源滚滚”四个字而把文字当作工具呢，戏谑。
7分，太阳之下无新事，新闻行业从来都是这样一个运营规则，掌握了话语权，就掌握了操控的能力
