Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.
韩寒还是翻车了，以前不管影片质量怎样，女演员都拍得很有气质，但这四海里刘浩存的呈现真的十分奇怪，有种为了装纯而纯的感觉。。。骑着摩托漂泊，四海为家，最后还是回到故土当家了。这电影告诉我们，平时爱咋疯都行，千万别借贷，家破人亡啊，借贷就是该电影悲剧最大的原因。
看着很轻松开心，随性洒脱的海岛故事，还带着一点小浪漫，有着很强烈的韩寒导演个人风格，看似玩世不恭，但底层深藏赤诚之心。
我们已经老啦，可是青春依旧在那里伤痛。
这片子前半部分还是挺好的，也挺欢乐的，但到了欢歌淹死之后整部片子就像彻底变了个风格，观感直线下降。讲出了人生的各种不如意还有人生的现实，一次又一次的送刀子让我看完这部电影都有点抑郁了。说实话大过年的时候确实不适合看这种电影……
春节第一部电影，感觉开错了盲盒啊，是不是选了个春节档最烂的，整部剧有点乱，到底想表达什么呢，刘浩存简直是人畜无害。。
想一出是一出，想到哪儿拍到哪儿，一会儿是奶奶看雪，一会儿是父子重聚，一会儿是社恐患者交到了第一个朋友，一会儿朋友里面又有内鬼，一会儿又突然欠了一大笔债只好去广州打工还债，一会儿又开始探讨女性求职时遇到的问题了……
怎么说呢…华纳高层评价Amber的那句话可以完美用在刘浩存身上：That's what makes a movie star a movie star...
三星半吧，前半段还是非常韩寒的，飞驰人生水准；后半段像作文为了拔高立意，写脱了。下一部别再拍车了吧
连着几天难看热搜，逆反了去看看究竟多难看。如果不在春节档，如果预告不诈骗，就是合格的电影啊，刘昊然还是帅，韩寒也依然是韩寒。
韩寒130分钟的顾影自怜。剪辑什么玩意儿。
可能这是今年唯一带有讲崩溃现实的寓言电影。我也始终都认为这是一部很厉害的历史伤痕电影。傻傻的青年满怀深沉的热情，冲进时代的浪潮，却发现没有地方是他们想象的样子，这片土地并没有留给他们的余地。片中用了很直白的文学喻象，讲主角与世界的关系，来解构现实。剧情以中心对称，来划分前后现有和未知的两重世界，甚至两个配乐师都是各自分工的。现如今，再回头读韩松在微博上对电影的评论，顿觉他对韩寒的好多想法都是非常肯定的，完全能看出韩寒对实际事情是很清醒。我倒觉得《四海》还是没法超越时代啊。虽然男女主戏份有很多刻意又奇怪，但人物也全都是带着某种受时代剧变的影响而被裹挟其中的特质。韩寒就想用奇怪的人物和奇怪的故事去指代这个奇怪的时代。但其实，这个时代才是最荒诞、最魔幻的。韩寒也是穹空之下所有遭受重创的其中一个。
只是世间虽苦难，但也大可不必如此多的悲惨
这部影片不适合放在春节档 看的人感觉很不好
意图囊括的元素太多，情节有些割裂。太多戏剧化的堆砌反而使整体故事有些失真，缺乏说服力。
而且最致命的是犯了一个只会在处女作才会犯的毛病：想讲的太多了——亲情 爱情 城市化 物化 赛车 女性求职 理想与现实……单拿出一个着重讲一下片子就改观很多
大家都不见好的一部片子，虽然说“存”在即合理，我在观看时场外的因素也占据了我其中很大的情绪，但也可能是我17岁还没被社会毒打的原因，比较向往这种少年青春的感觉，而且很喜欢从小渔村到大城市的这种时空转变，好似内容很丰富，有情节的暗示，也有意想不到的突发事件。可也看得出欢和耀终究是两路人，走不到一起，故事的情节也总要带那么一丝哀伤，可我又似乎喜欢这种哀情。搞不清自己，也搞不清韩寒的想法，但还是看得清刘浩存装纯的做作，也喜欢刘昊然的演技。分太低也许也有在大年初一不适合看这种类型电影的原因吧，各有各的看法，抛开刘浩存不谈，个人觉得7.0
20220517晚于绿洲花园。能感觉到有很多隐喻的东西，一些看似逻辑不顺也可能是导演故意为之。但是这样的话风格可能就不伦不类，所以看完后还是有些不知道讲什么的感觉。当然演员表演也不太行。
鲁迅说 悲剧就是将人生的有价值的东西毁灭给人看 那韩寒的电影就深谙此道 几乎每一部作品都塞满了孤寂 身边的一切似乎都会离去 友情爱情亲情梦想 其实在他早期的小说作品里就能看到 那是小人物在大城市里拼尽所有却最终的一无所得 然后这就是人生 这就是现实 所有说 韩寒的电影未必会让每个人都喜欢 但他的电影已经有了自己独特的风格 至少从这个角度来说 不算是件坏事
昊然弟弟还可以，含腾量有点低啊……还有，刘浩存真的一如既往地不让人喜欢
这么阴间的剧情选择清明节或者中元节上映会更加合适，选择春节上映不太吉利，毕竟是个晦气的故事。
