Hotel manager Marcus Winter is awaiting an important visitor to the Emirates Palace Hotel.His long-time friend – the representative of a big tour operator – should be arriving soon to inspect the hotel.But instead of his friend, it’s a new inspector that comes – Sarah Riems, whose ideas concerning the needs of hotel guests greatly differ from those of Marcus.Trying to impress Sarah with the distinctive flair of his hotel, Marcus makes a grand presentation, emphasizing the spectacular regional cuisine and even taking the inspector on several trips into the breathtaking desert. Still, it looks like a hard sell…At the same time, Anna, the hotel’s decorator, excitedly awaits the arrival of visitors of her own - her pen-pal Max and his friend Holger. Although Max and Anna have only once briefly met, his extremely romantic letters have filled her heart with passion.Once her guests are settled in the hotel though, it becomes quickly obvious to Anna that the Max who had inspired such a love in her through his letters is much different than the one she now sees before her.It’s the artistic Holger who is presently stirring her desire, which leads to a growing rivalry between the two men that strains their friendship.Meanwhile, the single mother Renate and her son Tobias have traveled to the hotel for a dream holiday. Soon, Renate’s real reason for the trip to Dubai surfaces - she wants Tobias to become acquainted with his father, who operates boat tours for the hotel guests – and who doesn’t even know his son exists…
在哈登安排不良少年出场前，实在看不出这个老板有什么不妥之处。
平庸到不知道说啥，除了结局呼应着开头留下一抹无法逃避的荒诞与无奈感，其余：故事很老套，情感也生硬，骗局没悬念，人物内在挖掘也不深，更重要的这还是个翻拍，就这？托罗是奥斯卡的爹？
可以想象原版应该是部很酷的黑色电影，新版2个半小时真的又臭又长，高潮部分几乎一笔带过，显得莫名其妙，陀螺这回栽了大跟头。
7.7，受伤的心灵，扭曲变形带来的事故，成为故事
什么什么都好但是索然无所的那种莫名其妙的感觉....
过于冗长，而且我对普信男没有兴趣。但凡这男的不那么自信，也不会输得那么彻底。大魔王绝了。马戏团题材挺好，可惜没有发挥到我的点上
教科书级的节奏感十足的狗血小品。处理得自在轻盈。丝毫不削弱现实主义意义，得亏用这种表达方式。巴登表演无懈可击。

能让我一口气看完这么长的电影，说明这部电影还是很不错。马戏团的戏份凸显导演个人趣味，但实在过于冗长，应当大力删减。凯特布兰切特演绎的蛇蝎女人，是所有演员中发挥最好的。最佳的应该就是摄影了！
影调很棒，我觉得最有趣的其实是嘉年华里边各种有意思的布景，这个小孩尸体真一言难尽。凯特·布兰切特如此迷人，令人着迷。说到底，其实确实和牧师没什么区别🤣
这个故事真的震撼我，能写出这个剧本的编剧简直不要太牛逼，后来才发现这是翻拍
如此强大的阵容，却只让人看到一个平庸的故事。心怀恶魔的小镇青年一直想出人头地，缺不料强中更有强中手，被人玩弄于股掌间，最后只能回到原点。但里面对于为何弑父却没能提供有力支撑；对于演砸的拿出戏，铺垫很多但高潮不够……导演一直在用一种节奏，比较平乏。
私心想要bradley cooper被封杀，不过他没错，是我错了。
引用陀螺自己的话：“I think the tragedy is when you finally have all the people that you need surrounding you, and you have nothing left to say.” 功成名就之时却不能言之有物，是挺可悲的。
就是太冗长了。故事的话确实是那种上世界老经典电影的那种感觉。但是真的可以拍的在简短一点，而且更加富有传奇性一点。

有没有一种可能，泡在福尔马林或毒酒里的畸形标本有一天跑出了罐罐，长大成了一名电影角色，没人知晓他的身世、他的欲望、他的结局。热爱收藏畸形标本何尝不是一种恋尸癖好？马戏表演，其实是复古又魔幻的恋物崇拜。巨大而浮夸的电流穿过，只带来了一小阵麻木的肌肉痉挛，与一众不明所以的傻瓜观众的惊呼，这就是恋物癖导演们所追求的电影体验。
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。
讲了一个贪婪和欺骗的故事。和蜘蛛侠一样2个半小时，但是观影途中不停地觉得长，同样时长的古奇，豆瓣短评感叹太长的却不多(虽然我也同样觉得太长了)，想必是片子节奏出了问题。令人毛骨悚然的结尾，加上没开暖气的amc10，真是令人直冒冷汗，感到恐怖（为坐地铁跑那么远过去4:30-8:20感到不值）。
电影整体的基调和风格很吸引人，其实故事也不错，只是马戏团的部分明知道作为故事铺垫极其重要但还是觉得冗长，斯坦被贪婪反噬早有预料，捕鸟人终成笼中鸟的结局很棒。
