Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.
老套了，叛逆期表现，几个元素 二胎 离异 短视频。不要把奇奇怪怪的东西都往家里拿。。最后怪物代替原厂的了。。
内部观影会时看过的。支持这样的国产童话故事电影真人化～我还挺喜欢哒，女主可爱演技在线，希望小朋友们会喜欢～
最可怕的是，他们之后还是完美一家人。 今年恐怖片集体拉垮，显得这部特别好看。
除了润出去的华人家庭，原来北欧的亲子关系也这么紧张啊，大家压力都挺大。
我们最终杀死自己的，或战胜自己的还是那个最强的自己。人生就是在不断革命中成长。话说那个小姑凉演技真绝！
看完孩子问，妈妈，我成绩不好你也是爱我的吧，当然了孩子，这也是我带你看这个电影的原因之一
挺好的，曾经我也反复思考过“成绩不好的话还能得到爸爸妈妈的爱吗”这样的问题。
我不对劲，看完这部电影又开始想看人外的本子
个人还蛮喜欢的，不能算是怎样的恐怖片吧，但是黑暗童话系风格明显。荒诞猎奇感，画风还是非常漂亮的，尤其是小女主的表现，非常不错。
#Sundance 2022 3.5星，虽然剧情并不像，但却莫名觉得看了一部芬兰版的《遗传厄运》是怎么回事...以及妈妈这个角色演得真好尤其是皮笑肉不笑的时候。（这片子里的芬兰语听起来好像泰语）
暗喻比较多，有一篇豆友写的影评不错，把剧中大部分暗喻都说明白了。
芬兰人拍恐怖片还是带有一些思考在里头的，比如这个鸟蛋，就好像是从梦里捡回来的，再加上片头黑乌鸦闯进家里被扭断脖子扔进垃圾桶，虽有硬凑之嫌，但也不妨作为一种能把电影讲下去的拼接方式，结尾不新鲜，却也增加了寓言的意味。
用异变的另个身体适应青春期的敏感，对抗母亲的剥削。于是母亲也可以顺其自然地把过错安在它身上，杀死乖僻的女儿
买了两张票却看了不到十分钟，终于在优酷看完了。挺好的，人性故事，非常棒！
强势的control freak母亲扼杀了女儿。前期女儿笑起来的小虎牙真是可爱，母女衣品真不错。
从“幸福家庭”一出来，就大概知道啥走向了，怎么看怎么嘲讽，最正常的人是泰罗就好逗
还挺好看的就是说…鸟蛋孵出来的时候有点惊悚…里面最可怕的是女主她妈…看女主有种蜜汁胡O天既视感怎么回事（
猎奇版Turning Red，不要脏吓了球球了
小女孩的演技真不错啊，她把那种惊愕演得真好，还有听到妈妈说爱上别人的失望和伤心也好真实。谭尼亚只想要妈妈的爱，但她妈只想让她进赢得比赛。最后一个镜头好美，没看之前以为是另一个演员演最后一个镜头，没想到是女主，太会演了
看似温馨美好的家庭，实则早已支离破碎，控制欲强且望女成凤的母亲，孤戾不合群的女儿，自我为中心的弟弟，懦弱无能的父亲。
