On a hot summer afternoon in New York, Emma Jones gossips with other neighbors in her residential building about the affair that Mrs. Anna Maurrant and the milkman Steve Sankey are having. When the rude and unfriendly Mr. Frank Maurrant arrives, they change the subject. Meanwhile, their teenage daughter Rose Maurrant is being sexually pressured by her married boss Mr. Bert Easter. She does however very much like her kind young Jewish neighbor Sam, who has a serious crush on her.
The next morning, Frank Maurrant tells his wife that he is traveling to Stamford on business. Mrs. Maurrant meets the gentle Sankey in her apartment, but out of the blue Frank comes back home. He realizes his wife is upstairs with Sankey, and runs upstairs. We hear shots and see the two men struggling as Sankey tries to escape through the window. Maurrant runs out with a gun. He has killed Sankey and fatally wounded his wife.
Maurrant is apprehended and is led away by police. He apologizes to his daughter Rose, who will now have to take care of herself and her young brother without either parent. Rose's boss offers once again to set her up in her own apartment, but she refuses. Then she sees Sam, and tells him she wants to leave the city. Sam pleads with her to let him go with her, but she tells him it will be better for the two of them to have a couple of years apart before they consider becoming a couple. Rose walks off down the street by herself.

三星半，不温不火的，很好的讲了一个轻松的讽刺故事。下班之后去影院看部这样的小品还蛮愉快的。
这是一部整体氛围压抑、虐心、伤感、现实的作品。受害者的父亲是个粗鲁蛮横、平时对女儿关注极少的大男子主义者（但本质上并非恶人），明明不是罪魁祸首的女司机自杀身亡，其母亲的道歉令人感伤，抓小偷的超市老板自杀未遂但被迫关门歇业，媒体恶意报道断章取义并制造冲突成功搏流量，极力推卸责任的学校方面与肇事者一路逍遥，父女俩的绘画中不谋而合的海豚云是埋藏得最温柔的一线光亮。
脑洞很大，特别特别松弛。有许多小心思在里头，两个演员的境遇与电影剧情两兄弟互文。
文人相轻，影人更甚，我太喜欢看一切领域的野路子与学院派争锋了。Penelope的面容身段与这部电影里简洁又深邃的建筑美得难分高下。
Penelope Cruz + Antonio Banderas + Óscar Martínez 这部黑色喜剧真的是one of my personal favs
富有西语系特色的黑色幽默加反转和戏中戏的剧情，讽刺平庸 虚荣和浮夸，也讽刺附庸风雅故弄玄虚和故作低调，讽刺富豪也演员和导演，讽刺乌合之众和主竞赛本身，讽刺所有人，外加一些前后呼应的小细节，哈哈不错。
謎一般地很有某類北歐電影的氣質：房間大得要命、佈景極簡主義、嘲諷現代性、解構當代藝術⋯⋯但每場戲幾乎都有新的手法玩，所以不會悶，甚至還是能讓人笑得很開心的。
悲剧就是所有牵涉之人都或轻或重且无可挽回地失去了些什么。最后一幕很动人，做父亲的终于在一幅画里找到了和女儿的一丝共同回忆
太冗长了，昏昏欲睡。在西班牙语电影里剧情可以说是毫无惊喜，不够疯。

视觉和听觉都非常有趣的电影，尤其是几十支麦克风、粉碎奖杯、吊车悬大石头那几段，好惊喜！但我总觉得这么多“高级”的手法应该不会只停留于我想的那个层面吧，关于电影行业演技和人气的思考和讽刺，结果直到结束发现还真是，对情节的丰满程度上多少有点失望，技巧和形式大于内容
拍得略显松散，但讽刺意味好足，演员也给电影加了很多分
飙戏精，像煎牛排？3分？5分？7分熟？哈哈哈！喜欢这种调侃，给装B一种理由！
小机灵小嘲讽，对于讽刺艺术来说过于冗长了。安东尼奥班德拉斯从年轻到年老的不靠谱。佩内罗普科鲁兹的可爱性感永不老去。
重返戏院后回归bc的第一部，建筑和家居设计是喜欢的风格，看到了瓦西里椅和muji的袋子。讽刺而好笑，看到几张西班牙熟脸。
偏执别扭又满满都父爱 在寻找的过程中逐渐和解 电影中很多社会问题也很深刻 很有水准
很多有趣的东西但是镜头语言会不会过于简单了，失去了影像的力量挺可惜的
当电影里需要一个合气道动作 就一定会先出现这个动作
还是很不错的。尽管看预告片大概能够猜到电影的情节。非常日式的电影，可以看到他们心灵的方方面面。故事果然是浓重的忧郁色彩里最后透露出那么一丝光亮的氛围。有一点心疼桃李桑，感觉好多戏里他都是在演这种苦情的角色，就算演坏人也有种苦情感（个人感觉）。人还是要懂得和解，尤其是与自己。
