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.
浪费了交叉骨和斯巴达勇士这俩硬汉了，最有演技的就是那个神经病杀手，剧情太傻了，啥刺激场面也没有
まるで僕らはエイリアンズ，
还行，用癌症和猪来比喻已经病入膏肓的白左英国犬儒，他们面对乱局无能为力，只会选择逃避，西方世界就是这样逐渐堕落了，第三世界的人民并不具备普世价值观，相反他们会输出自己的野蛮意识形态，所以片名会使用日落这个标题，这是对西方世界的一次巨大冲击，但我觉得日落的讽刺性不如新秩序，新秩序具有预言性质，但日落还只是陈述现有的发展状况
看简介以为是中年男的中年危机片，看了之后果然是中年男的中年危机片——我最讨厌的genre。看了一半达到了我的中年白男阈值。
人家女孩告他性骚扰没有什么错，他杀人全家就叫天怒？啥玩意……而且光悬乎地表示他杀一个又一个，没有证据，逃脱法律，问题咋操作你不表示表示？靠意念吗？
这次不够陷落。不是那个系列。
从始至终认为自己绝对正确的魔鬼作家，无比黑暗的结尾，女主一家子待宰羔羊。
前半看的像是MV合集，有点想睡，后面剧情转折出来才稍微有点意思。能感受到编剧和导演想传达的意思，但感觉着实有点慢热，不过整体，尤其是后半还是有点喜欢的，3🌟吧

与其说天怒，不如说人怨。
它用类似于微小说的方式，讲述了人生的一种状态，这个状态和《日落》这个片名很契合，这让片子变得有点高级。而且它讲故事的手段，从摄影配乐到演员表演都朴实无华，导演虽然确实有货真价实的人生感悟，但全程淡定，不显山露水，直到最后片名出来才让你茅厕顿开。那一刻我觉得，导演对这样的人生状态是有感悟的，可能自己就经历过，也可能目睹至亲好友经历过，总之拿捏得挺到位，像我这种还没经历过的都立马和蒂姆罗斯演的这个角色产生了共鸣，虽然前一秒我还不是很看得起他。
[视]资源上线晚，不及预期，惊悚轻喜剧。半天，一所警察局，动作戏集中在后期，成本有限，调侃阿汤哥、海总。托比·哈斯12.9今天生快
挺能理解这种人走到生命的尽头百无聊赖心如死灰的状态的，不想解释不愿解释放任自流，飘到哪是哪的。其实在接到他们母亲已故噩耗时，罗斯和甘斯布的表现就已经埋下了伏笔，一个歇斯底里无法控制情绪的崩溃，一个沉着冷静毫不惊慌（只因为他已置身在其中已不恐惧），阴冷而疏离，一切都是那么虚无苍白，结尾的空镜好评。
就，很好理解的在刚毕业正年轻而且对也来充满梦想的时期遇到了喜欢的人和志同道合的朋友，可惜青春是会消失的，通向梦想的道路也可能随时会中断…不是不忘初心就能实现的
好怀念度假。The vibe is so good ~
额剧情真的无厘头 但是为了Acapulco打个五星吧 SH home
超爱女主说太阳不准升起来之后那段日剧跑！剧里配乐真的太赞了
大女主剧，女主当然帅，但两个老猛男更帅，噼里啪啦一通打还是蛮精彩的，不过最后的反转似乎有点多余。
6.5/10 分。初看，蓝光。普普通通，中规中矩。个别小地方还行，但整体还是一般。
整体感受并不深，城市风光片谈不上，家庭伦理片更不行，不到一个半小时的观影，感觉时间都被偷走了。
