A most pleasingly atmospheric rendition of the tale, noirishly photographed and moodily set, this is the version which probably would have delighted Conan Doyle the most. There is one important plot change which enables the beautiful Alice Brandt to enjoy both a larger role and a more intriguing part in the proceedings. This change also builds up the parts of Dr Mortimer and Lord Charles, yet at the same time provides a nice introduction to the is-he-sinister or is-he-a-good-guy Barrymore, deftly played here by Fritz Rasp.
Despite the sting of its well-developed story, the spellbindingly atmospheric direction and the engrossing performances delivered by the entire cast, many fans may find this version somewhat disappointing. For at least three reasons: As in the novel, the part played in the narrative by Sherlock Holmes, though vital, is minimal. And in this version, not only has no attempt been made to enlarge his role, if anything both writer and director do their best to minimize it. Holmes does not even make his entrance for half-an-hour, and when he does finally appear, he has his back to the camera. It is Fritz Odemar, as Dr Watson, who receives the more favorable camera angles. And there is a purpose in this. It is Watson, not Holmes, who figures as the main protagonist of The Hound of the Baskervilles. For the bulk of the narrative, Holmes disappears. It is Watson and Lord Henry (Peter Voss) who take up the running. The movie is almost over, before Holmes closes in on the villain. And even so, this is not the obsessed, self-important Holmes we are accustomed to see taking charge. Another problem is that the title hound itself does not figure a great deal in the action, a downgrading which will undoubtedly rate as another major disappointment for fans. And finally, it could be argued that the script gives too much attention to Conan Doyle's red herring, the escaped convict, and not enough to the real villain.
This said, it must surely be admitted by all, that Odemar's interpretation of Watson—intelligent, charming, level-headed, courageous and resourceful—is much closer to Conan Doyle's conception than either the bungling, inveterately stupid Nigel Bruce or the self-effacing Ian Fleming.
One other player deserves special mention: Erich Ponto (Dr Winkel in The Third Man) who seems exactly right for Stapleton. A difficult part, superbly played.

【资料馆多功能厅】我觉得要是和杨德昌一比，这片子就真没啥了。大风里的那场戏倒是很有感觉。
压轴上线，2021最后一部，果然埃琳娜费兰特，妮娜≈莉拉，玛吉吉伦哈尔导演手法可，我真太喜欢杰西巴克利了
十六年后，在遥远的意大利一部叫格莫拉的电影里面两个追火少年重走了你两兄弟的路，吸毒、偷抢老大的军火，最后被乱枪打死在街头，简直是一模一样的路啊……
我看完觉得跟《驾驶我的车》正好对应，一个西方一个东方，一个女性一个男性，一个文学一个戏剧，最后都跟自己和解。话说终于在片里认出了一堆熟人，还有女主的几件浴衣好看的。
费兰特对洋娃娃的意象很是执着了 女性为育儿被禁锢所丢失的自我与自由 然后再对自己想逃离去追随欲望的自私而自责 这样的痛苦对等吗
这个台球室真的不是《最好的时光》里面的台球室吗？！
3.5 女性应该拍电影的原因之一。近距离手持在亲密和共情中切入神经质的焦虑，娃娃与女儿如同定时炸弹。男人存在，却是静立远观的背景板、无用的安慰剂，和举止张狂的威胁。非常期待Maggie未来的作品。
补遗。等修复版，真tm好看。基本算是侯拍的吧，快准狠。
剧情有些空泛，几位英法意半老徐娘东拼西凑，幸好有埃德-哈里斯提振一下 。
“成为母亲我很后悔”这句离经叛道的话为主轴，刻画了一位母亲的曾经现在的内心纠结洒脱和一世的折磨。好角度好故事好人物好刻画。玛吉非常敏感细腻，电影完全展现了。科尔曼的表演甚至比宠儿还好。
剧作出彩，整体完成度极高的处女作，闪回呈现甚至比幻化的“现实”当下更为细腻。
养育过孩子的人会被影片的情节唤起各种不适，经常在不可理喻、暴跳如雷、惊恐委屈、追悔莫及间不停切换。当然也有亲慈子孝，但谁也不敢说正面情绪和负面情绪哪种更多。对影片来说，要探讨的恐怕不是亲子关系，而是强加的女性角色的枷锁。莱达逃脱了母性的现实枷锁，却也逃不出自己心中的围笼。7
看了超高糊版，有点懵，四星是因为我太爱这部片子的音乐了
台语很有味道，太野了。可惜油管上的画质也糊的可怜。两位少年表现的非常自然。我居然看见罗大佑了！
年轻的时候总以为自己是世界的主宰。
看4K數位修復版才真正感受本片的節奏感，後來的臺灣電影（這三十年來）再也沒拍出這種「滿滿的8+9世界」了，讓人震撼。雖然很不一樣，但卻同樣讓人聯想著臺灣新電影的「《童年往事》＋《戀戀風塵》＋《恐怖分子》」，或者也讓人聯想著差不多同時的《牯嶺街少年殺人事件》或《青少年哪吒》。
3.5星。纯意识流的部分太多，导致结构松散，节奏也略别扭。像一个半成品，缺就缺在导演把控上，纯粹让演员带着走，就乱了，所以说电影是一种既感性又理性的艺术。洋娃娃的设置挺妙，带有贯穿全片的各种隐喻，点睛之笔，剧本编得也有想法，就是实操欠缺，但作为处女作已经超预期了。扣曼奉献了又一次影后级表演，情绪把控真棒啊，挥洒自如。p.s.反正我很讨厌小孩。
中间和女背包客以及和Nina的几段镜头太柔情太暧昧了，感觉她们在一起会快乐自由很多
处女作拍成这样真是厉害啊~虽然剧本获了奖，虽然我没读过原著，但是总感觉剧情中好像少了点什么……
【NYFF59】惊艳的处女作，在4.5和5星之间挣扎。虽然要承认欠缺了蛮多东西，但那种浮于表面又不点破的精巧真的很讨我的喜欢……看完觉得昨天的平行母亲好像错位了，这部才是真·平行母亲，生育是女性永远的痛苦，直面苦逃离更苦。最后大字强烈赞美OST！作曲简直太完美了！把电影推向另一层次的完美！
