Max is desperate – he knows there is a real chance that he might lose Nathalie and the children.Willing to put everything on the line to keep his family intact, Max makes the biggest sacrifice of his life. Then something happens that is the very last thing he could have ever counted on…
有点失望。抱错娃的两个女人
格局大 着眼点又很细致生活化 结合的一点都不突兀。妙。每个人物都立体。结尾很难不难过。追思历史。佩妮洛普强，喜欢短发的Ana
一直喜欢阿莫多瓦对高饱和度色彩的搭配和运用，信手拈来，充满灵气，用明亮包裹沉重黑暗的历史，结尾神来之笔
一个电影包含了两个故事，遗憾的是两个故事确实是平行的，它们单独讲其实有更大的可能性和吸引力
阿莫多瓦的导演技术当然可以，但佩妮洛普发现孩子搞错后，不找医院解决不好理解，查出同产期婴儿做下生物鉴定很难吗？对孩子有了感情可以理解，可自己亲生的在外，好吗？
与《暗处的女儿》对照观看颇有异趣，均是在在不同环境下探讨母女之间错终复杂的情感关系。阿莫多瓦一向擅长的奇情元素照样不会缺席，峰回路转的剧情发展和私密难解的情感纠葛颇令人措手不及，只是其浓度比年轻时要淡很多，不过剧中以情感走向为主的故事脉络的背后，隐藏着更宏大的整个西班牙国家历史的伤痛，既是个体对于下一代血脉的追寻，也是对过去亲族所遭遇苦难的追溯，使得这种奇情的联系融入了宏大的历史背景之中，交相映照。不过在两条线的互文和对照关系上，结合得不是太紧密，甚至有点刻意和生硬。
强行一个狗血的故事，硬要配上“发掘真相，发现历史”的大背景，实在不必要。以及情感线里女主这个人设蛮讨厌的，想起一些不太好的回忆。
血缘 亲子 历史 生命的终结和延续，能把这些联想在一起，也蛮厉害的。一贯的八点档情节剧般的构想，这次对东亚观众来说可能并不够奇情，而且在严肃厚重的历史面前失去了轻盈。
在头尾的历史伤痕间夹着一个奇情故事，就让人不得不不只是把中段的情节剧当情节剧看了，导演已经主动将其政治化与历史化，因此，最后克鲁兹的角色成了为西班牙母亲，成为历史的见证者与载体。
3.5 感受到了历史部分的提升 可是两个女人之间......
看似不关联的全都是生活的关联，所有的未来都与所有的过去有关。
故事处理的不够润滑，女人与国家的对比略显生硬。
只可惜一些过于明显的剧情问题，导致《灰影人》难以获得五星赞誉。这些问题例如，美队的角色给电影带来了一些轻松幽默的元素，但跟其他角色的严肃格格不入；在恶劣的战斗环境中会时不时插入一些喜剧，这种半吊子，导致让观众在面对严肃的情节时无法认真对待。
是无法理解明知不是自己亲生的还继续错下去也是醉了。
喜欢最后的暗喻。女主的演绎很棒，让人感同身受，那种既想服从上天的安排隐匿下真相，与孩子一起生活，又不能压抑内心的纠葛，真诚时有时无的折磨，最后的抉择也是能够理解的
UGC Rotonde 家族史视角是动人的，逝去的先辈和新生的血液，女主对于传承的执着呈现出一种女性行使生育权的主动性。两位各自承载过往故事的单身母亲之间的关系也十分迷人，如果情欲的部分不那么轻率直接，我会更喜欢。
不是最好的阿尔莫多瓦，但Penélope Cruz的表演一如即往地，绝。一个充满韧性的承载痛苦的容器，这个威尼斯影后真的实至名归。三代单身母亲，从战争埋葬丈夫，到追逐演员梦抛弃丈夫，再到自愿选择不介入他人家庭而单身生育，女性再次作为个体与历史创伤的载体。
已经靠近真正意义上女性的电影了，却还差一口气。有些联接如果是生搬硬套，何必包括在电影里。男性热情、放纵、不懂事，女性世代单身母亲，追寻祖辈回忆，Lopez的坚韧和无可替代的温柔。
这种电影就是单看一部不会觉得特别惊艳 但折服于导演持续不断旺盛稳定的创作力和西班牙配色
看到影片五分之四，越发感到挖掘古迹一线和婴儿纠葛一线的割裂，直到最后十分钟，才对其中想要表达的议题有了模糊的理解，但也只是浅层又浮于表面的理解。一个民族的集体意识中有对错误历史的纠正与追奠，也有不期的新生将希望延续。再一次感慨，阿莫多瓦所塑造的女性形象（包括具有女性特质的男性形象）身上都有一种共通的母性，这种感情凌驾于他所展示的各种感情之上。
