Sydney and Darrel met while working through the trenches of chaos of low budget independent filmmaking. Like most forced to produce under pressure, they grew close and began to admire and respect one another. However, their romance never quite had the opportunity to blossom and once the production was over, they went their respective ways and moved on with their lives. After 2 years of post production, when the film is celebrating its premiere, the two of them meet again. With spirits flying high and the cast and crew present to critique and admire the work they have done, Sydney and Darrel after a night of drinks hook up. In the last two years they've had their professional triumphs and failures, they've had their flings and various romances, but they've always kept each other in the back of their minds as that one that got away, the magical other. But...things are different now.
太长了，一共也没多少情节是怎么拍出两个半小时的。而且画面虽然没太多黄暴，但是看到结尾莫名恶心，可能是因为陀螺的某些恶趣味
7/10。前半段的马戏团与后半段的通灵术单看其实挺精彩，怪奇物具与幽暗人心都是陀螺的拿手好戏，可合到一起就偏偏变成了四平八稳的警世恒言，差强人意。
6.9分。有陀螺的美学打底让整部电影看起来稍微高级了一点，剧情从团长介绍开始大体就能猜出个八九不离十来。整体过下来各方面挺单薄，Key Point也来得很是生硬（我肯定不会自信到把钱存到一个我在酒会上认识没两天的人）。浪费了威廉·达福和托尼·科莱特，即使是凯特·布兰切特也就是个危险的美人。没什么二次咀嚼的欲望。
美术、摄影、灯光和服化道都不赖，只是这么一个故事真的需要用两个半小时去讲述吗？尤其第一幕的铺陈有必要如此大费周章吗？要不是结局带来了我始终迷恋的宿命感，观感只会更一般。
任性到很多时候都可以把叙事扔在一边
其实故事是有点cliche的，但陀螺的哥特审美又一次占了上风。
私心想要bradley cooper被封杀，不过他没错，是我错了。
寻着liedownplease来看的 我真是看不得电影了
就说这个译名吧 一直在想谁是玉面谁是情魔 看困了给我
结尾收的不错，别的感觉除了演员演技，没什么看点。整体叙事节奏拖沓，人物也没立起来，逻辑上不太能自洽，也是有些遗憾。魔鬼也好人也罢，生活嘛总是人与人之间的互相愚弄，得失如何只有自己清楚了。重要的还是保持初心吧，不然下场也不应该好的。
失败！！！
滥用“心理学”？
真的不喜欢Cooper，导致入戏入得很困难。还是觉得气息很陈旧，不知道翻拍的点在于什么，除了纳入陀螺的影像奇观。
我怎么感觉这要是在中国，这老板真是无敌的好老板，这些员工才全是刁民，呵呵
You don't fool people. They fool themselves.
好在一切在如言灵般的媒介属性极强的台词中获得了结束，从而串联起了这个心理现实。

无效翻拍。唯一大概就是把1947年版最后因为电检问题改掉的结局完成了，Bradley Cooper演得却狠不好。虽然我没指望他能胜过Tyrone Power，但实在是……还有你们老美现在电影长度为啥纷纷有赶超行定勋的趋势？！毫无必要。
4.5，没看过原作，2.30小时不觉得长，意犹未尽。
前半段马戏团部分有让我想起小时候游乐园里看到过的畸形秀，长大后再也没有了。
