Haunted by the memory of Walter Holderlin, a soldier he killed during World War I, French musician Paul Renard (Phillips Holmes) confesses to a priest (Frank Sheridan), who grants him absolution. Using the address on a letter he found on the dead man's body, Paul then travels to Germany to find his family.
As anti-French sentiment continues to permeate Germany, Dr. Holderlin (Lionel Barrymore) initially refuses to welcome Paul into his home, but changes his mind when his son's fiancée Elsa identifies him as the man who has been leaving flowers on Walter's grave. Rather than reveal the real connection between them, Paul tells the Holderlin family he was a friend of their son, who attended the same musical conservatory he did.
Although the hostile townspeople and local gossips disapprove, the Holderlins befriend Paul, who finds himself falling in love with Elsa (Nancy Carroll). When she shows Paul her former fiancé's bedroom, he becomes distraught and tells her the truth. She convinces him not to confess to Walter's parents, who have embraced him as their second son, and Paul agrees to forego easing his conscience and stays with his adopted family. Dr. Holderlin presents Walter's violin to Paul, who plays it while Elsa accompanies him on the piano.
The film's original title, The Man I Killed, was changed to The Fifth Commandment to avoid giving "wrong impressions in the minds of the public about the character of the story." It ultimately was released as Broken Lullaby.
还可以，剧本没有很飞略失望，主要探讨的内容有点老生常谈，而且比较浅，真的就是“why do we have to wait until 2022 to see a film like this? ”似乎更像是上代人的回溯，不过艾玛的角色也让我对处于中年又为人父母的女性有了一丢丢新的认识，一种紧张与焦虑。男主眼睛蛮好看，这种水准的服务还要啥心理咨询啊。
只想说姐妹们好好攒钱吧，老了以后才能买得起高级🦆
3.5 想逃脱的困境与孤独 不想坚持的墨守成规 在几次会面中得以释放 互相救赎 Goodbye ，Good luck！告别的时候还是还是掉了眼泪的 ～
结尾，女主脱下浴巾。看着镜子里，自己已经不再年轻性感的身体。而是一副垂下来的乳房和腹部上松弛的老年赘肉，满脸皱纹的她笑了——而就在那一刻，我把本来的想给电影的82分给改成100分！
剧本很精彩，越是简单场景越难拍，整个过循序渐进很流畅，两个人之间的互动也很好看。
非常喜欢前两次会面，女性非常需要解放被禁锢的欲望，放下对快乐的羞耻感和对自身的不自信。后两次的说教感略重。
剧本写得挺好，大致循着“坦诚相见”的路数，从非常资本主义的购买fancy幻想，到撕破脸后更authentic的亲密关系，最后的reward就是“真”的orgasm（也是独立的）。细节扎实，跳舞时男主手搭在艾玛脖子上，艾玛的反应和后来的台词是呼应的，这种潜在的连接体现了关系中意识的流动性，然后是创造性，结尾扣回目标颇得曲径通幽之妙，适度的爱让人在亲密中展现尊严，在当下看，会数次分心想怎么不洗手，但或许我们正需要从界限处重新找回亲密感，那种梳毛对梳毛、耳语对耳语的亲密感。
艾玛阿姨的表演大师班，小牛郎也配合默契，真希望那场角色扮演的戏能出个番外，抛开衰老欲望这些话题，安心谈性。
“Good luck to you.”两人的聊天竟然没有快进 不用拉窗帘吗 地毯不脏吗（关注点错
很硬的勾巴和很软的心肠，果然只存在于文艺作品之中🥲
【A-】
You have the mysterious gift of being a sex saint. 夸人就要这么夸。
这种鸭子天价的吧？性其实没啥，吃饭睡觉和性一个东西，趁年轻，好好享受性吧！到老才来被开发新世界真的是一件挺悲哀的事情。（一定要正确并且全程使用安全套，无论对方是谁）
7/10。“与你那时的面貌相比，我更爱你现在备受摧残的面容。”艾玛·汤普森太会演了，尤其最后全裸对镜中自己的那一笑。精巧的四幕剧，老年人性渴求的话题其实并不少见，可贵的是剧本的有趣和单一空间叙事方法。高质量的倾诉、跳舞和做爱，是可遇不可求的美事。男妓完美到像机器人，最后揭露这是部软科幻我也毫不吃惊。有第三幕的争吵就必有第四幕的和解，从戏剧手法来说很合理，但何必呢。有一位女性看完这部电影后爱自己能多一点，就是电影的意义。
Emma Thompson太通透了，完全释放自我的一次表演，光芒万丈！女性导演才能拍出的细腻和女性心理。

-I'm glad you came.-I'm glad you came.
设定很新颖，立意很进步，但是故事极其俗套，除了两人很养眼其他真没啥看的。想到也是有点禁忌两人相遇互相救赎的电影，超脱就要深刻一百倍
都说没什么好的女性向porn，看，这不就有了嘛
小巧玲珑的封闭空间话剧电影，甚有同类型波兰斯基那烹调手艺但更松软易咀嚼，这类电影能否出彩非常考验编剧功力，这位名叫Katy Brand的女性编剧显然功力了得。故事表以围绕女性主义话题展开，意图探讨中年女性的生理焦虑与存在价值复归等问题，次文本却巧妙构建了一对关系微妙且意志对立，时刻处于紧张关系的泛“母子”形象，从窥视到反目，再到打开心扉促膝长谈，最终化脐带于玉帛，达成双向的尊重与理解，成全彼此并重新审视自我的余生。尽管将一场理想化的性交易解读为“母子”羁绊大和解确实略显恶趣味，但相比为人母的大婶帮助帅鸭卸下“伪装”与原生家庭的重负，为人子的帅鸭带给大婶的身心救济才能更显说服力，如此也佐证了片名的祝福为何留给的是Leo，而不是Nancy。身型会走形经血会干涸， 唯有永恒的母性亘古史今 w/阳
