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.
值得！各有千秋，喜欢3、5、6、7，儿童片中的文艺片，小观众可能看不太懂，有些情节甚至对于成年人都比较晦涩难懂，比熊出没之流好太多了
爱消失了，家庭分崩离析，却发现和儿子也无血缘关系。活着就是羁绊，羁绊藏在千丝万缕的爱里呀。
保罗真的是一个好父亲，前一秒还和西蒙像小朋友一样撕b，下一秒就为了让西蒙有能力照顾好保罗而把餐厅送给他。扪心自问，如果换作是我，那是绝对做不到的。如果不是三番五次出现西蒙出轨保罗也有责任这种莫名其妙的言论还可以加一星
多种类型的手绘本改成动画，技术门槛不低，形式值得鼓励。
想起小学卖糯米饭的早餐店，同时经营佛雕生意，晕着浓厚的木屑香气。现在吃糯米饭总觉得少点童年的木屑味。只能用画笔重描绘这些不可再复现的特定记忆。
不适合低龄小孩看。电影院里就两家人在看，看的人是真少。小火车那个看哭了。
刚开始我一直猜保罗会是里奥真正的父亲，但是猜错了，不过还没有揭开结果的时候我也有预感会是这样。
有点点可惜电影里，两个爸爸那么美好的感情，经营着很幸福的家庭，在经过二十年后，竟然等来的是一方出轨。
出轨只是对方的错吗?感情中哪有那么多谁对谁错。
《向着明亮那方》中国首部绘本动画电影，今天看了点映，电影超好看。不仅画面美，七个故事讲的也很好，很温馨很真实。故事都是从小孩视角讲述，让我想起了我小时候，很多想法不谋而合。如果不是电影，好多童年画面都快忘了。最惊喜的是“哼将军和哈将军”没想到能在大荧幕看到剪纸的定格动画，也让我重新感受到中国动画电影的多元性。可以说，主创团队真的把中国人的爱与美写进了动画里。1月15日正式上映，大家可以带上亲朋好友去欣赏这部优秀的动画电影
其中有的故事偏完整性跟生活感多一些，符合我的观影喜好。
四星，多一星给大屏幕上能看到这样电影的珍贵，这样淡淡的、生活的、是飞扬的也是温暖的小故事们。最喜欢老伯的糖水屋和最后一个。
有两位父亲的十几岁少年制作了一部有关双亲的纪录片，却不料离奇的情节开始在他的家中真实上演。
画风很好，故事很暖。强烈建议带着孩子看。
看完这部《爱的千丝万缕》意外觉得很戳心。 当同性终于跨过可能比异性恋艰辛百倍的困难，终成眷属，拥有了一个合法的家庭，拥有了可爱的孩子，从此过上了幸福快乐的生活时，我们应该为此庆幸。然而既然是生活，就不可能只是童话，幸福快乐也不可能是它一成不变的结局。
出轨就是不行，和小三在一起？？？？？？抱歉！！！我的三观不允许我这么做！！！！
反传统叙事，平淡生活中见证独属于中国人的情与美。含蓄留白，就像一杯茶，看似无味，实则韵味悠远。哼哈二将结尾的小反转真是有趣，不过我最喜欢的还是萤火虫女孩和蒯爷爷的糖水铺，生活是具体的，但也是浪漫的。
爱时用力爱，恨时用力恨。最后还是为了孩子，对孩子才是真爱！
说低幼的也是服了，本来绘本就是给小孩看的啊！
经费看上去不是很够。
