　　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.

　　影片描写一名美国商人奉公司之命来到满格兰海岸洽谈收购土地兴建石油工厂，当地的风土文物和居民的起居作息跟他这个城市人很不协调，让他觉得此行无聊透顶。不料公司总裁亲到小镇视察后改变主意，想在当开办一所天文学院。商人回到美国的寓所后，也忍不住回想起一望无际的满格兰海岸。

　　影片改编自1993年百老汇音乐剧，设定在1981年一座阿根廷监狱里，詹妮弗·洛佩兹出演标题人物——一名虚构出来的女子Ingrid Luna。用想象描绘这名女子的人是同性恋橱窗设计师Molina（托纳提乌 Tonatiuh 饰），他因被指控猥亵未成年人而被判八年监禁。为了逃避对坐牢的恐惧，Molina想象出了一个经典电影明星的形象，和她出演的多个电影角色，包括一个用吻杀死捕猎对象的蜘蛛女。而随后，Molina的人生被颠覆了——一名马克思主义者Valentin（迭戈·卢纳 Diego Luna 饰）被安排在跟他同一间牢房，两人发展出了意想不到的联结。
