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.
画面好美。靠山看海，那么大的院子房子内饰也不错，想去这样房子度假一段时间。
精美的制作反衬了导演面对宏大叙事的无能和故事一滩糊糊……旅游宣传还得看我《有顶天家族》。
画风很不错 居然是芦田爱菜配音吗！
我们中年群里天天合计着老了搞个独栋share house合作农庄呢【手动狗头】牡丹饼吃不了3个
合租的室友有那么好，我愿意租一辈子。现实中合租就是鸡飞狗跳
“你这样是进不了宝冢的。”
刚看的时候很田园夏日，有温情。后面变得灵异起来就不喜欢了。
整个剧熟悉的脸特别多，就是一个搞笑的喜剧。但是这个题材实在让人焦虑了

画风很美很治愈，但是剧情确实有点拉胯，整个boss蛇出来打了个过场，难怪弹幕说这是见过的最短暂简单的决斗了，好好的走走温情向其实就很好了…
虽然电影给了个欢乐的结局，但日本社会这种高物价难养老的现实只会愈演愈烈，并且我们也在逐渐的走上同一条路。
截了好多好多图哈哈，可以当壁纸
前半段超级棒，不管是讲述传说故事的突击画风，还是配乐和剧情推进，都让人觉得惊喜。从迷途之家开门放人之后的桥段稍显拉胯。
日本老年人活得比谁都快乐，想干什么就干什么，这个国家真是没希望了。最后主人公卖掉房子才有了最多的存款。那里都一样，房子才是最值钱的。
喜欢奶奶照顾孙女的部分，就是这个结尾打败大坏蛋太敷衍了吧。。。

如果是日常番就好了 但是后面扯的一大堆有点乱
社会性焦虑的心灵马杀鸡。太适合我这种和日式价值观高共鸣的A型血まじめ性格的人了。传达出一个正导向的观点，即使眼下再困难，未来的生活还是会好起来的。被“任性一点也没关系哦”狠狠地戳到了
还行吧！景色很美，故事也很简单，但觉得剧情和角色都刻画得过于平淡了…
谁不想拥有一个能跟佛祖和合同交流的房东，以及一个如多拉a梦一样的家呢
