A quick glimpse at the cast for this film would make any horror fan giddy with glee. The actual movie doesn't live up to those high expectations, but it's far from being all bad. Desi Arnaz Jr. (!) plays an author who makes a crazy $20,000 bet with his publisher that he could write a great novel in only 24 hours. To do so, the publisher gives him the keys to an old abandoned house where he won't be disturbed. Not true. Once he gets there he is interrupted by a multitude of guests including a family which consists of John Carradine, Sheila Keith, Peter Cushing and Vincent Price. They are gathered there in a twisted family reunion to release their brother from the room he's been imprisoned in for forty years. Even Christopher Lee drops by as Corrigan, the man who has just purchased the house. Soon, they realize that the caged brother is loose and out for revenge.
What a great plotline and what a dream cast! This movie should have been a hell of a lot better. It's hard to pinpoint the exact problems with the film, but I would venture to say that the lack of lighting was a major fault. Sure the house has no electricity but I think they took the title of the movie a little too literally. Scenes after scenes are barely visible and the actors' faces are undecipherable. Only the moments in the main dinning hall are well lit. Also, the great actors are given very little to do. Cushing gets a few chuckles as the scared brother but Price, Lee and especially Carradine are somewhat wasted here. Well, at least Price gets the best line of the film: `Please don't interrupt me while I am soliloquizing.' And on the plus side, the story has enough twists and turns throughout to keep one`s interest and the ending, while a bit of a cop-out, manages to surprise.
虽然我也只在television history课看过几集I Love Lucy，但是巴登和Desi Arnaz真的完全不像，反而看之前无法想象的Nicole Kidman在化妆加持下还有点Lucille的影子（声音模仿也有努力）这部和同为传记片的乔布斯模式比较相似，截取短短几天时间辅以大量闪回，不过闪回处理得不好（不如不闪）结尾给了个分量很足的Oscar moment
重看
用一种mv的方式轻松拍了一个很有隐喻意义的小故事，what keeps you at home is not Covid.
这片子不行啊，女主再酷也不行。人物不够丰满，故事节奏不好。而且作为一个从业者看这个电影，我很难想象一个AI平台深度学习系统的数据标注员能住这么好的房子，工作这么随意扯淡一样。
这种还有点心意的小品作业又看到索德伯格多面体之小成本制作精气神。把监视与窥听玩出新花样除了继承了《后窗》的衣钵，还引入了技术专家政治论调并将技术道德引向了连希区柯克也无法设想的黑色讽刺与未来陷阱，这大概就是作者与时代一起重力坍塌形成的道德觉醒。
想不到一点都不暗黑，想着什么时候炸裂，结果高能结束了…
最后她选择在剧中装傻，但现实中还是骗不了自己。
不管什么原因，片场践踏其他工作人员成果，越俎代庖的自大狂，控制狂，自恋狂，看起来就是令人作呕
社恐患者如我应该会喜欢这部，掏出包包里东西发现大家都差不多的装备
3.5。反杀处理得太简单了些，其他作为类型片是相当不错的，毕竟经典套路现代化。
Nicole最后那里的失神很妙。影片整体时间线有点混乱，把过去和现在能区别得更明显点儿就好了。
Nicole Kidman transforms into Lucille Ball. She has the voice, the movements and even looks like her. To say it is a well-acted is the ultimate in understatement. The script weaves different lives of Ball and Arnaz into one week of filming an episode. The performance is so brilliant that it captures your attention every second during the runtime!
导演这次没有拍最擅长的政治讽刺题材，剧本的感觉确实没有芝加哥七君子审判好，台词很费脑子，人名基本上分不清楚，时间线也有点乱，导演想说的东西太多了，以至于我一直抓不住导演想表达的主题。只有最后一场戏，当女主角赤裸裸挑明男主的出轨，一切才明晰起来。但是拍摄和配乐特别舒服，而且我很喜欢这部电影的色调。
流媒体定制小片子，甲方在上，成本受限，所以功力只显三成？
其实还是一样的内核，为了某个自己坚信的东西而发疯的故事。他确实喜欢说教也确实过于理想主义，但我就是喜欢这种飘在空中的，顽固地挥舞着浪漫旗帜的人
到电影最后我都快相信爱情的时候直接给我当头一棒😅男的，果然、
妮可熨斗般平整的脸让我直到影片的后半段才顿悟它讲了两个不同时间段的故事。
这样的家庭事业双成功妻子未尝不是委屈求全的艰辛成果
3.5 整个剧情走向非常诡谲魔幻带些讽刺，最后反杀确实也是爽歪歪。
其实片子拍得中规中矩，开头的剪切，还有这种把庞杂的故事线汇聚在一周的时间里叙述方式，跟索金前作《芝加哥七君子》几乎是一模一样。并且因为这个故事相对来说比较小，索金给自己的挑战可能是尽可能多的加议题、加角度。还是很索金的风格，没有一个角色是纸片人，然而这也是短板，一部片子里想说的事情实在是太多了。但是我还是非常非常喜欢索金的剧本和台词，他总是能找到这种堂吉诃德式的人物，总是能一腔孤勇挑战一个个建制的庞然大物。索金怎么有这么多的勇气啊，怎么能檄文一篇接一篇，还热情不减？
