For 27-year-old Ben (Josh Lawson), life couldn’t be better. A well paid job, friends, parties, girls and nothing to tie him down. But when he is invited back to his old school to join several other ex-students including Alex (Rachael Taylor) and Jim (Ed Kavalee) in talking about their personal achievements, something goes wrong. Ben is the only speaker not to be asked a question by the school kids. This triggers a year of soulsearching and looking for answers in all the wrong places.
From his best friend Andy (Christian Clark) whose solution is that they both take another holiday, to his mentor Sam (Lachy Hulme) who loans him a sports car in the belief that there’s nothing like excessive speed to resolve emotional turmoil. Not even Ben’s father (Rob Carlton) or friends Nick (Daniel Henshall) and Em (Felicity Ward) can offer much in the way of meaningful guidance.
Of course, it’s not easy seeking enlightenment in nightclubs, or on the ski fields of New Zealand, and when you start dating a Russian tennis star things can get really complicated. As the poster boy for a generation desperate to tick every box, Ben begins to suspect that the meaning of life may well reside in the things he's already doing - and a girl he used to know.
这种电影能拿戈雅奖多个奖项，说明西语电影式微。
出众的谈判沟通技巧，丰富的同理心，对细节的孜孜以求，果断的危机处理手段和行动力。都是一个好老板的基本素质。这是算低级黑还是高级红？
sensational，30s的年代剧➕黑色电影，让我看3h我都愿意hh
中间确实有点冗长，但还是喜欢最后结构上的一个闭环
前半段实在太过冗长了，以至于煎熬了一半的时间，剧情紧凑起来突然觉得轻快了。
我觉得还不错诶，虽然故事略显老套，但是很完整。前面是拖沓了一点，后半段引人入胜，大魔王和cooper的对手戏相当精彩。
其实故事是有点cliche的，但陀螺的哥特审美又一次占了上风。
缺的是爱还是恨
You don't fool people. They fool themselves.
能让我一口气看完这么长的电影，说明这部电影还是很不错。马戏团的戏份凸显导演个人趣味，但实在过于冗长，应当大力删减。凯特布兰切特演绎的蛇蝎女人，是所有演员中发挥最好的。最佳的应该就是摄影了！
假作真时真亦假，无为有处有还无。我能说，某音剪辑的解说版，比电影全集更精炼紧凑和有重点吗
剧本本身很硬，所以故事线看着很吸引人。几大主演的表演发挥正常，所以整体片中很具观赏性。
教科书级的节奏感十足的狗血小品。处理得自在轻盈。丝毫不削弱现实主义意义，得亏用这种表达方式。巴登表演无懈可击。
7.3/10 第一幕过于冗长乏味，中后部分节奏跟上，我倒是有些看入迷，Stan的结局看似出乎意料，实则完成了我在电影开篇时对他的担忧，从这点来说他的命运是早已注定的闭环。
大魔王演精明女就像汤姆汉克斯一样已经没有波澜了……
陀螺一贯的让我非常舒适的审美，结尾也停在了应该的地方，细节处理和怪异血腥的呈现一如既往地精准。但是不得不说几乎完全翻拍47版让剧情毫无新意，如果不是双A设定刚好碰上了有张力的两个演员就会变成彻底的灾难。
已看一半。
完全消解了原版里男主的性本恶和马戏团的神秘色彩 不是陀螺的话根本不会看完的程度 还原了老版最初想要的结局 但放在新版里水土不服
我一直坚持觉得作者电影的导演最好看的影片始终都是处女座，因成功获得的资源和声望对创作者也是掣肘。所以在《水形物语》之后这部电影，无疑是一部分人的惊喜和另一部分人的无奈。陀螺他真的玩的很开心哇！
改编加的几句台词太好了 You don’t fool people, Stan, people fool themselves. 凯特布兰切特真是个大魔王。好喜欢fantasy和陀螺的暗黑童话风。
