狭隘

　　罗马帝国统治下的埃及，一个家庭为躲避追杀而隐秘生活。家中年轻的儿子（被称为“男孩”）开始对自己的监护人（被称为“木匠”）的身份和教诲产生深深的怀疑。
　　男孩体内沉睡着某种神秘而强大的超自然力量。随着他的成长与反叛，这股力量开始觉醒并失控。每当他动用一次能力，就会打破现实的脆弱平衡，招致更可怕的反噬——他们不仅要面对罗马士兵的世俗威胁，更要遭遇因亵渎神明而引发的、超越自然规律的恐怖现象：尼罗河水逆流、沙暴中浮现古老邪灵、瘟疫以超自然的方式蔓延……
　　这个家庭被迫在双重恐惧的夹缝中求生：一边是外部世界的追捕，另一边是来自男孩自身力量的、逐渐失控的神性（或魔性）灾难。

　　生活一团糟的单亲妈妈艾米莉陷入低谷，于是向哥哥寻求帮助。后者有一个非常棒的计划：参加越野滑雪马拉松

　　一个乡下小姑娘扎齐是个言语粗鲁又脾气暴躁的孩子，而且十分叛逆，在说脏话之余还经常与大人们捣乱。可是在巴黎生活的两天时间里，她却感受到成人世界的冷漠和虚伪，发现这个世界存在着严重混乱失序，所有她认识的人都在对她说谎，连她妈妈在内，都缺乏真诚善意的交流和沟通，这使扎齐在离开巴黎时感到自己已经被折腾得老了很多。

　　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.
