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.
故事情节让我说有些扯，但能够把传说与现代人情感和心理结合起来，虽然感觉牵强，剧情大多被我边看边猜的差不离。主人翁都是女性，女性拯救，好像好多邻国电影的主角都是女性。主要靠画面取胜，这么简单的故事梗概能被渲染到这样的程度。不建议直男观看，我是中间停顿后又继续看完的。
关于灾后重建，属于狐岬的“山月记”，很满意的一点是主角都是女性，加入神话志怪元素，更显动人。
日本大概也是世界上妖怪传说最多的国家吧。
适合夏日看的温暖小片 河童 妖怪 就是夏天该有的东西！
如果是电视剧还能接受 电影的话就有点拉垮 还有 合租绝对没有那么好！
虽然是有点过于理想化的故事，但是看的心情很愉悦，老太太活得很通透，里面每个人都很可爱，抱团养老或许是不错的生活方式，当然还是建立在身体健康的前提下
太爱这样的奇妙物啦！虽然以灾难开尾，却丝毫不哀怨。作为人类，悲伤是与喜悦同样珍贵的感情，只要有同行的伙伴，终能洗涤前尘。被吞噬或绽放，取决于自己的心态。PS:射箭的结好似犬夜叉。
清新画风，可爱人物，神奇的老奶奶带领“捡来”的两个孙女住在漂亮的有求必应屋，见河童和各路地藏菩萨，最后用笛声和一支箭战胜恶怪。
后面有点点突兀，改成聚集大家所有人的力量会不会更好呢？其实整体有点无聊，但是为了mana酱配音看完了，画风比故事更治愈。
虽然很喜欢妖怪题材，但是这个稍微缺点东西。比如红祟的战胜太一笔带过了
是我喜欢的故事和风格。跟小朋友一起看也可。
虽然很温暖。对于“为什么总是我”和灾后情感的捕捉克制而细腻。但这个叙事节奏确实低配到我了（
从最初の面子到释然の生活
前半段《小森林》，后半段《给桃子的信》，开篇立意很好但脚本有些乱，仅有宫内优里的配乐和三明治人客串让我眼前一亮。
是个很安静的动漫，适合心烦意乱的时候观看，很温馨，动漫内容比较不足
什么都不重要了妹妹真的好可爱！（所有人都好可爱
这种题材就是欢快气氛圆满结局的格式，期待也是期待女王的登场，最后女王在share house里开心笑的时候我想的是现实中你是不喜欢别人和你一起生活的人，哈哈哈
谁不想拥有一个能跟佛祖和合同交流的房东，以及一个如多拉a梦一样的家呢
冲着天海看的却被老奶奶吸引，她的字写得真好看。
剧情拉稀 设定还行妖魔就那么容易接受的么…还有最后boss也太容易了吧…
