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.
3.5 仿佛预见了自己并不遥远的将来（映后交流觉得刘泽导演还挺真诚的
真的有种浪费画面和配乐的感觉😡😡
与昨天的《野马分鬃》完全是两种观感，尽管也充斥着大量的长镜头，但本片却显得异常残酷、凝重，相比于温情与浪漫，生活的不堪和苦涩被赤裸裸的呈现在观众眼前，随着父亲病情的加重影片也愈发令人窒息，让人不禁扪心自问，假如换做自己，会如何面对这折磨人的生活？有趣的是导演并非完全遵从写实主义的手法，而是加入大量超现实的符号隐喻，亡故多年的哥哥拍着皮球，烟雾缭绕中女主与父亲起舞，以及水中漂浮的女主形象，都让影片具有了更丰富的解读空间；表现手法上影片多次在同一镜头内完成虚实空间的转换，尤其是女主角和男友回学校的一场戏，镜头在旋转摇移中将过去和现在的时空勾连，与《雨月物语》里那个虚实相生的长镜头有着异曲同工之妙；影片的最后，女主角在与父母的温情中猛然惊醒，而作为观众的我们，同样在这一刻惊醒，回归不堪的现实。
剧情让人摸不着头脑，奇妙的画面确实不错，但特写和近景的画风差异太大，有点割裂，单独抽出来不错，混在一起挺怪 设定不解释，情感线随意，剧情刻意，太失望了 （吐槽：男主的🎧前期几乎镶在脑袋上，后来为了体现改变才掉了，因此前期跑酷耳机不掉实在不能理解）
两星半，我的天呐多好的题材啊拍成这样就离谱，这电影拍的到底是什么啊！这个题材多好啊！多少冲突可以探讨啊！多现实啊！是我会从头哭到尾的题材啊！这是什么！这拍的是什么啊！
5/10 上次见这么没cp感的还是在火花。。。
其实也不算太差。故事内核套用小人鱼爱王子的童话故事，旧壶装新酒，没新意。缝合怪，加了一堆老设定，萤火之森、天气之子、企鹅公路等等。世界设定还不错，天外来物的泡泡在唱歌和老故事相比没太大亮点。前半段是真的尬，虽然原故事就是公主爱上王子，但是这片还这么老套，并且突然的面部滤镜特写太出戏了...阴郁的男主设定太反感，并且一堆队友太多余，上次看这么空洞的还是天气之子。但是质量和配乐还是很在线的，两个星给恰到好处的配乐（有巨人的味道了），并且中间跑酷比赛和最后的登塔跑酷质量很好很燃。
一星给作画，一星给音乐，一星给送葬队。以及男主你但凡少抱点女主都不至于她死那么快
从山西出发，来处就是归途。作为平遥谜之味道的影展单元，本片在诉求表达上，有原文本的基础，方向非常之明确。处子作导演最容易犯的错误，从中学课堂上的中央集权，到频频招魂《爱》，想要的东西太多，出现的闲杂视点和细枝末节太多太杂，它也全都犯了。好在这些都有心理准备，毕竟看一部新人作品，你所看到的错误，往往大于或等于它的优点。区别在于，你用什么角度去对待。当然，第二部或者成熟导演就不能如此看待了。
故事完整演员在线，就是美学系统有些薄弱，特别是美术
【平遥电影节展映】世界首映。阿兹海默症题材。讨论了“病人的尊严和死亡的尊严”的严肃命题。医院急救室外的长镜头唤起我曾经在医院的见闻，真实而残酷。虚实莫辨的拍球男孩是很有灵气的点睛之笔。可惜缺点同样很多。饰演母亲的演员表演用力过猛，不如父亲演员表演自然。年轻演员仍有很大进步空间。前半部剪辑转场较为生硬，婚礼、浴室、公园等桥段有明显的刻意感。克制与煽情并存。结尾意味不明。以及，与《小事儿》不约而同地，回忆中的高中教室墙上又出现了“核心价值观”。两星半
2020平遥电影节，叙事太冗长了有点不耐烦
理想中的少年原型啊
牛教授说能看完整看完就是对本片最大的的尊重。我觉得说得对。男主，真的别太把自己当回事，呃呃呃……我觉得动画真的对不起小畑健的设计（这是可以说的吗
太真实了，真实得可怕，这样的故事在我的家庭里发生过，也天天在亿万个家庭中上演着
2022年了，不敢相信这阵容能做出来这么土的东西来！
火影忍者地铁大跑酷，剧情一般，BGM可以。
符号感很强，和前段时间看的《爱》很像，值得一看，既真实又深刻。电影里不乏超现实场景，印象最深的有父女俩在雾中拉手（这一段个人感觉不是非常必要），死后世界（这段挺不错，尤其是悬空打麻将），结尾在水里躺着（有点致敬老塔？），还有两次真假难辨的扔球男孩
更像电视剧式的表达，电影性的艺术感比较少。夸一下父亲的演技，作为一个医生觉得生病的状态演的很像。
老年痴呆，家庭内部，女性困局。细腻，传统，陈旧。走进电影院不会觉得难看，但不是为了工作需要我是不会走进电影院看它的。
