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.
片名其实翻译作《说出来吧》或者《发泄出来》更合适，纽约，雨天，9岁男孩儿和fun uncle突如其来的播客之旅记录童年。失意中年人希望从孩子们的童言无忌中找到答案。“我爱你你爱我但我们永远不可能百分百理解彼此”估计是年度最佳母子关系宣言～
并不真实 为什么要用clair de lune？
A24目前制作电影的三条路：1美式大型鸡汤（就像本片）2美式青春片（鸟小姐）3美式cult恐怖片及其衍生品（仲夏夜）
Its blah blah blah，and u just need come on，come on，come on，come on，come on… “你会记得这一切么？来地球的这一切，我们经历的这一切。我希望你能。如果你忘了我会提醒你这一切的。 ” 我们都是第一次学着做人，父母也是第一次学着做父母，大概就是真诚的沟通吧。
好的电影给人的感觉就是演员不像是演，更像是做自己，眼神里没有闪烁，所见即真实，这之中有记录片的功劳，抛出问题，录下孩子们的回答，看法和感想交给观者。尽管我们想方设法从孩子的角度看待问题，思考教育和社会，但访谈中还是觉察到孩子对大人自以为是的不满和他们身为独立个体所拥有的自我认知判断，才发现相互理解很难，差异堵点一直都在，但是影片又以叔侄之间的相处，互动沟通，情感表达，诠释亲密关系建立，打破原本的隔阂，怀抱更好的将来。辗转的城市记忆，奇妙的自然物语，悬停温柔善良的对待，置换歉意和无奈，结尾解压的呐喊，唤来成长的春季。
话太密了 孩子总有一个阶段如此招人讨厌又自以为是 但又真挚纯真

温吞的像白开水一样，黑白色调是绝对的减分项，非常个人表达的作品。

我们也许通过别人发现自己，也通过自省发现自己。come on，come on
这种片子才是真正的保守，只可惜我们国家的sb观众和没文化的影评人把一些不是保守的东西认为是保守。
好好看的“对话式”电影。黑白的纽约，好美好美。戏中那些反反复复的采访，同样的问题，那么多的回答，我看到了“希望”。这些孩子，他们想的好深刻。小男孩虽然不幸，但他好幸福，他的情感，小情绪，都有人重视。
原来里面采访小孩子的部分是真实采访，男主和侄子的部分是fiction，被影片呈现的成年人和小孩建立互相尊重的亲密关系的过程打动…推荐所有养小孩和打算养小孩的看
“emmm”
在后期转制黑白，演员选了华金的情况下，却拍出了可能是颁奖季最温柔的一部电影。最大的优点当然是形式上的，纪录片式的采访贯穿始终，主要人物的表达也经常是站在受访者的视角。在主题上则有点保守，还是孩子和中年人互相取暖疗伤那套东西。不过在对原生家庭、亲子关系探讨越发极端的今天，这样菊次郎式的处理反而是一种另类了。
jesse代表 （剧情片）
eh,i just fucking hate children.
挺不A24的一部片子，摄影不错，剪辑一般。三段结构逐渐演绎凤凰和侄子的关系，从碰撞到溶解，完成了一个菊次郎式的故事。
B 与上次看的贝尔法斯特同为黑白片，也都是孩子为故事主体，但不同的是c'mon c'mon的黑白选择出奇的好，镜头下投射出叔侄日常生活的高潮和低谷，成长与现实之间的碰撞，LA的阳光普照对比出NY街景的脏乱，亦或者沙滩漫步，道路斑驳，树林郁郁葱葱，都能更好的去呼应人物情感变化，自然而舒服...
很温柔 细细述说地电影/如果有时间 就真诚跟little wired person 说说话吧 他真诚又热情又古怪/我们跟世界的关系 come on come on blah blah blah or cmon cmon 我来到世界很久 希望跟世界关系变好
