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.
印度是一个教育超前经济的国家，感觉未来可期，很不错，接触到了lgbt题材而且还是喜剧结尾！
PS:我特喵心态崩了呀，如果这个电影是日本的，是美国的，哪怕是韩国的，甚至是俄罗斯的，我都能心平气静的接受，这他妈的竟然是印度的……我特喵心态崩了呀……
宝莱坞越来越懂观众要看什么了，2018年印度同性恋才合法，时隔三年，同性主题，形婚背景，公职人员，警察，教师，律师，医生就搬上荧幕，不得不说确实前卫！最后也是两个形婚之人双双出轨皆大欢喜。篇幅有点过长了。#电影 #永结同心
当然 放歌跳舞 MV这种固定节目，说实话还是有些拉胯。坏的方面国内电影疯狂向宝莱坞靠拢
宝莱坞slay 虽然前面一大半都很烂 但是后面半小时就是没办法 不是说真的拍得好但人家好歹能拍 can you？
天作孽，犹可恕；自作孽。不可活
形婚夫妻终被发现而出柜的故事，电影时间虽长，但却非常细腻地把人物、剧情一一交代，题材现实，相处的细节在真实中又结合了喜剧特点，尴尬嬉笑中把社会家庭冲突完美展现，拍得好，三观正，大团圆的结局，温馨大胆。
“你确定要抽血吗，我们可以改成去喝咖啡的”
又名《掰开揉碎讲婚姻》、《一山不容二虎，除非两公两母》
合家欢的结局有点生硬，但喜剧片的定位也可以理解
尽管剧情拖拖拉拉但我想给5⭐
3.5分。两个同性青年假结婚来骗亲人并最终获得谅解的故事，这个故事情节可能算不上新鲜但是印度拍出来的话确实还挺新鲜的，不是印象中的封闭落后国家思想也开始前卫起来了。但是电影是电影，生活是生活，现实中如果有这种事的话，我也挺难理解的。
如果这是个欧美片，那我觉得有点落俗套了，这可是印度片诶！印度都与时俱进了，再看看我们！
还不错诶。印度的电影做的也越来越好了！很喜欢女主和女二，男主那一对感觉有点油腻😂 不过也蛮可爱的
最后看哭了！今天遇到那个状态很好的她，依然心动，祝福她幸福、快乐！
没有假戏真做，没有奉子成婚，结局没有离婚而是领养，情理之中
概念新颖，但越看到后面越没劲啊，还是中邪更真实更吓人一点。// 念"火佛修一，心萨呒哞"配合那个手势看起来就很恶毒
第一部印度的LGBTN电影。污名化，去人性化，因为TA们和我们不一样，所以要烧死TA们吗？我们是异性恋，TA们是同性恋，TA们就像是DVD的盒子与内容不一致，这不是TA们的错。非要在男性女性选一个吗？也可以是X。我姐姐是个变态，TA喜欢女人。孩子孩子孩子，一直让我生孩子。MCP的Male Chauvinist Pig。打心底里认为女性低人一等的普信男。还有很长很长的路要走。至少厌恶少一点，理解多一点。黑屏，漫长的等待。不要站在那里了，你是孩子的母亲，快坐在苏曼的身边。
像是百度贴吧里的诡异图片乱入了电影。导演是想让观众有更多互动和代入感，所以才给观众集体下咒，那个符号其实挺有效的。但可能恐怖指数也就到空手指和莲蓬乳到此为止了。
印度🇮🇳电影🎦与时俱进的好看开始高分喜剧电影🎦先睹为快！
