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.
冲突设置得太平铺直叙了 感人的唱段没有发挥最大作用
早期入坑音乐剧看的之一，Waving through a window 当年循环了很多很多遍。（到底什么时候可以去🇬🇧啊！
要不是看过原剧 根本看不下去 这音乐剧不适合改成电影
3. 只有一起同甘共苦 見證生死過後方才見真情 而這有那部分的人自己才懂 也不需要其他人理解了
原来低保户的贫富差距哪里都有呀，想起了很早的一个梗开着车去领低保
4。“没有人是该死的”故事并不鲜见，灾后人心重创。心碎的故事，但是更重要的人的生命重要性
音乐还是比较优秀，但是剧情是真的尴尬，EH怎么残得这么快😂
因为看过音乐剧所以对电影不抱希望，谁知道因为电影运镜问题，男主的表情纤毫毕现。他在公园木道上奔跑时的彷徨、紧张、孤单、恐慌，尝试找到一个可以hold onto的东西时，我的心一遍遍地碎了。电影增添了很多剧里没有的细节，让一些情节变得更加丰满了。可惜也删掉了几场比较好的戏，让情绪的递进有些生涩。可我竟然从头哭到尾，到最后甚至控制不住开始边哭边发抖。男主因为局促紧张而开始撒谎，因为渴望自己描绘的梦想而去圆谎。他一边沉溺于幻境，我一边心碎。里面两个妈妈的形象都比原剧丰满，并且把一个人被left out的孤独、溺毙、失声感表达得淋漓尽致。但是印度小哥和Connor的形象太扁平了。Still, it’s a relatable movie.
只是ben演高中生确实不那么合适……强行情怀一波了
前半小时：剧情再狗血再拉垮，还是对音乐剧毫无抵抗力，五星好评！超过40分钟：流水线的半流行乐审美疲劳，强行升华尴尬到脚趾抓地！一点小建议：看到40分钟妹妹飙完车回家就及时止损吧，2星给Connor颜值和歧义梗。
Dear Evan Hansen, thank you to give us a chance to know you and Connor Murphy. Everyone has a side of darkness and depression. We see people around us smiling in life, but we don’t see the sorrow moment of their life. You show us that in fact everyone is vulnerable, and we are not alone. So no matter how hard life is, it’s real, don’t let it go.
和隔壁孤狼2一样是配角超级异常无敌出彩的电影。有点好奇导演是怎样做到节奏那么平的（糸亦然）。主角的某些行为我不太能理解，演技也不太有说服力。总体上是有点食之无味弃之可惜的感觉。
案情老套，但加入了地震海啸后的人心的恢复，社会保障体系的缺失，这立意就不一样了
以为是推理片，这节奏看的我超级累。其实题材不错，但拍的太表面了，情节也不抓人
经历了去年那场暴雨，似乎让我逐渐明白了一些之前不曾理解的事情，灾后的避难所，漫长的夜，以及那种复杂的情绪，致那些得不到保护的人。
现实向这一面拍得还行，就是不够紧凑，有点拖
和推理感觉关系不大，主要还是体现震后的社会面临的问题及情感抒发，发达国家尚且如此，如果之于发展中国家估计更甚
看了20分钟实在无法忍受平淡无奇的剧情，和百无聊赖的情节，删了
本来很深刻的题材结果出来的效果恍若死水，演员和导演都有点问题。
结合现在疫情背景还是挺有感触的，就是太长了点
