UCLA college student Jonathan Moore (Anthony Edwards) is playing a game called "Gotcha" (popular on mid-1980s college campuses as "Assassin" or "Tag"), wherein the players are all assigned a mock "hit" on another player by use of a harmless paintball gun. Moore and his apartment roommate Manolo go on a vacation to Paris, France. After touring some of Paris, in a cafe Moore meets Sasha Banicek (Linda Fiorentino), a Czechoslovakian girl. Eventually, Jonathan has intercourse with Sasha, losing his virginity.
Jonathan decides to leave Manolo (who is heading to Spain) and go with Sasha to West Berlin to spend more time with her. Jonathan believes that he is in love with Sasha. There, Jonathan and Sasha continue to have sex and even go to an Oktoberfest beer gathering. One night, Sasha tells Jonathan that she has to go to East Berlin to pick up a package. One night after arriving in East Berlin, Sasha leaves their hotel room and walks to dark street corner. There, Sasha meets a German man who tells her the location of the pickup of her package. Meanwhile, Sasha was being monitored by a Soviet agent, who was sitting in a car at a distance. During the day, Sasha tells Jonathan that if she gives him a certain message, it means that he has to leave East Berlin immediately. At a cafe, Sasha gives Jonathan a package and says that a strudel is inside. A little later, Sasha tells Jonathan to meet her at the butcher shop near their hotel. All of a sudden, a Soviet agent begins to chase after Sasha. Sasha decides to use Jonathan (who is holding her package) to unknowingly get the package over to West Berlin. Meanwhile, Sasha is taken by the Soviet agent and East German secret police.
Jonathan goes to Checkpoint Charlie to cross the heavily fortified border into West Berlin. At the East German customs search, Jonathan is stripped of his clothes and given a cavity search. Meanwhile, Sasha is stripped and searched for possible espionage evidence. Vlad arrives at the border crossing to search for Jonathan, however Jonathan passes the border safely before he can be captured. Once in West Berlin, Jonathan feels liberated by the Westernized society. In the hotel, Jonathan receives a message from Sasha to meet him at a specified location. Jonathan finds out that his hotel room was broken into and robbed of his traveler's checks. Soviet agents eventually find Jonathan in West Berlin and chase him throughout a public park. Jonathan jumps into a water canal and manages to escape from the Soviets and stumbles upon a German rock group headed for Hamburg, who offer him a ride to the airport.
The rock group successfully get Jonathan to the airport (using full-face makeup to sneak him past a checkpoint) and Jonathan finally arrives in Los Angeles Tom Bradley International Airport and to his apartment. Soon, Vlad and a band of Soviet agents arrive too in Los Angeles. Once home, Jonathan stumbles upon a film canister, which was planted by Sasha. Jonathan visits his parents and tells them what happened in Germany but they cannot believe a word of it and think Jonathan is on drugs. Jonathan decides to call the FBI then the Central Intelligence Agency for help. Jonathan returns to find his apartment broken into and looted.
The CIA officer tells Jonathan to give them the photo film canister. At the Los Angeles headquarters of the CIA, Jonathan spots Sasha who looks like she was working there. Jonathan eventually meets up with Sasha. Sasha admits that she is Cheryl Brewster, a CIA agent, originally from Pittsburgh. Out of nowhere, Vlad and his gang begin to chase Jonathan and Cheryl on the UCLA campus. Jonathan eliminates all the Soviets with a tranquilizer gun which he gets from the campus veterinary sciences building. The Soviets are arrested, the CIA agents thank Jonathan for his (indirect) help in obtaining the film, and Sasha tells him she wants to continue their relationship.
After they part, Jonathan talks to a pretty student who rebuffs him coldly. As she walks away, he aims the tranquilizer pistol and shoots her in the rear.
玛吉拿到了顶配埃莱娜的剧本和顶配奥利维亚的演出，但真的没用好，故事处理太混乱了，很可惜。
特别是年轻的时候。我们认为社会会包容自己，可是不管逃到哪里，怎么去忘却，当到了一定年纪，依然会被过往折磨。
三星半。看到后半程想起《我的天才女友》第二季的海滩度假戏，看完才发现这片的编剧之一就是埃莱娜·费兰特，我说呢~
Attention is the generosity 我认为不存在无私的母亲 我们看到的只是尽力无私的普通女人 一个女人是尽心尽力还是畏缩逃开 only the daughter knows only the mother knows
悬念和张力倒是一直绷到了最后。可惜坚持到最后也只是看了个寂寞。看来吉伦希尔姐这出手就是走文艺路线了。
每一个母亲原来这么反感自己的孩子啊，但最终其实还是爱自己的孩子的
当代女性永远的困境，在身为人母和自我实现双重身份中的困惑和迷失，是属于女导演的细腻和破碎。女主表演、bgm都太加分。
旁观她人的失控，偷拿的洋娃娃就像一个开关，只要不归还一切就回不到正轨。
适合所有为人母或者即将为人母的女性看，这片子的音乐很棒，特别是片头，片尾那首
麻吉导演在访谈中说道费兰特的文本难得地讨论了公共文化里中的沉默地带，生而为母我很抱歉。比起生育和养育，那一大家子巨吵无比的underdog才是真的噩梦，只不过两个噩梦一个可以逃离一个无法，请让扣姨二封锁死！
4/5 惊艳的处女作。恐育阵营的一大力作，对现实生活中婚育女性状态的描写入木三分，犹如影片中那个锋利的帽扣一般刺开被社会大众隐匿的“母亲”角色的困境和悲哀。科尔曼完美契合这一角色，感觉可以冲奥。剧情节奏有些问题，完美错过紧凑和松弛的分界线导致观影体验奇怪宛如一节失去弹性的皮筋，配乐很赞，是属于那种不会再看第二遍的现实主义佳作。
几处略微重点刻画的女性的对视，都….，那种“我有些事想告诉你”的神情，在眼白的反光中闪耀，耀目到观众有点坐立不安….但剧作上我还有许多地方未想明白….
这片看短评，也能感知到男女之间的差异。很多男性很难感受到一件他们认为是自然而然的事情会给女性带来多大的压力，而这不仅仅是在肉体上。这是女性独有的道德困境。
creepy, intimate, body horror
《暗处的女儿》是一部改编自女性作家的小说、由一位女性导演拍摄而成的女性电影。影片讲述了Leda在海滩度假时的所见所闻，以女性视角探讨了女性的生活困境，充分展现了他们在自我发展、家庭分工与社会期许之间的挣扎与冲突。
Maggie犹如写散文一般创作了这部作品，情绪高于故事。如此女性，如此细腻。
我觉得拍得很对我的胃口，让我聚精会神地看了俩小时。埃莱娜费兰特的《碎片》里写道，“碎片就是感觉痛苦不安，这种不安源于一些乱七八糟的事情，我们的声音会淹没在这堆碎片中”，我觉得本片就很好地表现了母职中的各种碎片。做父母是需要很多爱和勇气才能承担起责任的，如果这样的责任被强加在身上，人就可能会被生活的碎片撕裂，就像女主说的一样。我觉得把孩子培养成片中一样妈妈一走远、玩具一丢就崩溃几星期的样子是很失败的，不过培养成我这样拒绝任何attachment的无情样子就是另一个极端了；大概只有有时间有精力搞平衡的父母才会有相对正常的孩子。镜头语言除了某些大特写略做作之外，转换节奏和人物拍摄都很自然。剧本也很自然，就算没有埃莱娜书里标志性的人物独白，我也能理解女主表情和行为，感觉和演员配合得特别出色。
理解，有时候，想要孩子，但是却发现孩子并不是你想象中的那样；有时候，只是太年轻，自己都还只是个任性的孩子。可是，孩子终究不是玩具，不是你想扔就扔，你想捡就捡。记住，对孩子来说，你就是他的全部。刚好这几天看到了一篇朋友圈，小女孩一大早任性把住家门就是不准妈妈去上班，妈妈当时急了就冲孩子发了火，后来晚上回到家这位妈妈发朋友圈反思，说自己做的很不对。
与男性不同，女性对于情感的负担更重，“母亲”这个身份折磨束缚着女性，煎熬的母亲们！
近景镜头过多，已经让人不适。带过孩子的妈妈更容易理解这部电影。配乐不错。
