　　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.

　　《热点周刊》实习记者“白雪”暗访乞丐期间，巧遇一个重金助人的神秘乞丐——“秦军”
　　暗访过程中，白雪发现秦军只要饭不要钱，行为举指极其异常。而后白雪一路跟踪秦军来到一个名叫“何家村”的地方，面对亲友们的冷嘲热讽，秦军更是视若无睹。为此，白雪深感好奇，然而，正当她想现身采访秦军的时候，却发现秦军早已离开村庄。
　　带着疑惑，经过一番明查暗访，白雪发现秦军的真实身份竟然是一家集团公司总裁，他为什么要伪装乞丐？为什么刚刚回到家乡便默默离开？亲友得知他的真实身份之后会是什么反应？让我们拭目以待……
　　在《微电影版裸归》中，离乡五年、身价上亿的集团老总“秦军”故意装成一名乞丐回到故乡，曾经整日围绕身边的亲友们看到他的样子，无不对其冷嘲热讽。而当大家了解了他的真实身份之后，又全都变得热情亲近。面对这种虚假的情感，秦军深感痛心，暗叹：当你荣华的时候，聚在你身边的并非全是假士 、但当你困苦的时候，留在你身边的一定是真人！
　　较之微电影版，电影版的故事情节、人物关系更加丰满、深刻，不仅交待了秦军为何五年时间杳无音讯的原由，同时还添加了秦军少年时期的成长经历。

　　著名影评人伍岳在京城非常有名气，只要他说好的电影，票房一定大卖。著名美食评论家黄珊也非常有名气，人送外号：活的大众点评。这两个人虽然各自频繁约会，但就是不结婚。这天，伍岳出门开车散心，黄珊赌气开车出家门。伍岳的车撞上黄珊的车，两人在路边产生争执，最后伍岳同意了修车的费用负责，同时伍岳请黄珊吃饭表示歉意。在后来的相处中两人的矛盾再次被激化，互相怀疑互相打击。一天，两人去看电影，看完电影，伍岳写了一篇影评发在网上，不久，因为这篇影评房地产商大牛投资的影片票房惨败，大牛仇视伍岳，对他实施了绑架，绑架的目的就是想让他再写一篇正面影评，伍岳不从，大牛痛哭流涕，说自己资金链断裂，但因为有情怀，所以借了很多钱拍电影，伍岳被感动，答应帮他一次。为了救伍岳，黄珊来到大牛的老巢，两人终于逃出困境，也最终走到了一起。按他们自己的话来说：他们走到一起。也算是“为民除害”了。
