Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.
其實應該給四顆星。整體表現沒有那麽好，但是本片題材不經意沾了當前國際局勢的光，非常討巧。修女主角對上帝是否存在的痛苦思索非常觸動我。
淡淡的，缓缓的，这应该就是是枝裕和的风格。但在这里，显得有点普通，浪费了我老裴和IU的颜，也浪费了姜栋元的帅气。
虎头蛇尾的感觉，最后地下室里的小孩结局如何？虽然应该感觉是都没戏了，但也要有个交代啊。那个改邪归正的男生最后如何？盖世太保总部被炸了几下，除了逃出来的人，其他也都死了？
看完之后气炸了，战争，无论胜负，都意味着无数无辜的人被卷入其中，变成炮灰。最可恨的莫过于，前辈用鲜血捍卫的荣耀，日后，被轻描淡写地一句“睦邻友好”抹杀。

有点怪奇味，还是题外话，每次恐怖惊悚类，看到女主反杀大反派就嚷嚷不可能做不到是烂片，小男孩一根电话线反杀大反派就没人多嘴了是吧
2022.7.5 牛逼牛逼 宋康昊戛纳影帝 这么多年的坚持终于得到回报了呜呜呜 没想到得了戛纳影帝的片子居然也不到一个月就上线了…但因为昨天看的悲情城市还没看完就知道好先补完悲再看这个 又想到远鉴那丑恶的嘴脸…别人翻译的你拿过来压制首发 但不知情的人还以为是你翻译的 吐了 中规中矩吧 事实证明还是期望过高了 结尾有点像寄生虫 宋康昊又一次离开朋友们独自流浪 CJ的开场动画居然改过了 婴儿箱这东西我还是第一次知道 但居然被教会的人员用作人口贩卖 有一个孩子妈妈才15岁就离谱 韩国的丽水出现了！李珠英没想到这么好看的 姜栋元也感觉变帅了 不要的孩子同意被人贩拿去卖 iu戏份这么多真没想到 警察钓鱼执法 里面还有李东辉 孤儿院出身的可以不去服兵役 有小偷家族的感觉 卖个孩子审问这么多事真的很关心了
唯一的「敗筆」是萊姆雖被埋，說話依然元氣滿滿～
設計蠻巧妙，5個電話5段無用功最後都串起來了，就是中間有點沉悶，小女孩很趣怪，不如多加些戲份。

影片的核心：勇气与成长。
很多細節的設定都很不錯，但整個敘事過於破碎
所以最后被困在地下室的修女和小女孩他们是死了吗，电影里面的小孩都演的很好，前部分能看下去就是觉得这三个小朋友很乖，但是有好多东西都没有交待
黑phone里，那双眼动人（没想到竟然是个（）片，美国电影里的变态实在是，过于礼貌了
墨迹的phycho不说也罢，喜欢小孩们之间交流的戏
还是欧洲人会玩，把二战题材拍成儿童剧➕宗教片➕灾难片
有些电影，意义大概在于记录时代。很多镜头拍得很好。最后一段Eva妈妈一直跑一直跑回家后看到Eva在喝粥，就处理得很好。在整个被占领时期死亡人数不及这一次英军的轰炸行动，是战争的残酷之处。
仿小丑回魂，气球，小镇杀人狂，黄色雨衣，雨天自行车等等元素，叙事有些流水账了，特别是反派没有塑造起来
仔细思考，英军造成的伤害可能比德军还要大，还要严重。而它却代表正义
