The main character is Dr. Max Holst, a successful neurosurgeon. One day an intense little man named Steinmetz shows up, who has the real ability to create objects out of thin air, using only his mind. As no one believes him at first, he is held at a ward for mental patients, but manifests the key to his door and escapes. As he has a special interest in Dr. Holst, Steinmetz subsequently invites Holst to his large mansion, which is full of expensive paintings and sculptures, and proves to him that he can in fact materialise objects. Steinmetz’s abilities are evolving by leaps and bounds, and is progressing from being able to create objects only to being able to create living things. His ultimate ambition is to be able to create a human being. He tells Dr. Holst that if he will only perform a certain brain operation on him, Steinmetz will become able to attain his goal. He’s got all the necessary equipment set up in his basement. Dr. Holst, however, is too spooked by the whole thing to agree to this mad scheme, and refuses. Steinmetz then sets about manipulating Holst’s life, to pressure him into performing the operation. By then Steinmetz has become able to create a temporary human being, and in the hope that he can perhaps make his own creation perform the operation, he manifests a doppelganger of Dr. Holst. This double proceeds to take over Dr. Holst’s life, creating chaos for him professionally and personally. And then Dr. Holst starts fighting back. The ending has the dual virtue of being both unexpected and satisfying.
看完真是热泪盈眶🥹，女性对自我身体的贬低在今天也是处处可见，到处是营销白得发光，瘦得有直角肩A4背……仿佛身体就是女性的原罪，更别提身体带来的快乐，那更是羞耻堕落的代名词，更有甚者被贴上荡妇标签……2022年的今天结合四周正在发生的一切，女性到底是走向使女的故事，还是走向解放，真的一言难尽。
艾玛汤普森大胆的表演，值得她在今年的颁奖季拿下奖杯，影片全靠对话来推进精致的剧情，又不让觉得老套，勇敢的探寻了少有前人探索的题材，不必为衰老的肉体和容颜的伤身，也别羞于谈性，性能带来的快乐，overrated but necessary。如果说有什么流俗的地方，其实还是，如果不加那一点点的感情，编剧也怕观众接受不了纯粹的性。

只想说姐妹们好好攒钱吧，老了以后才能买得起高级🦆
全程以对白推进、小成本大作为的典范。四次约会，从羞涩到深入的相互了解，情感递进如此自然和流畅，凸显文本的成熟。那种微醺和微痒，就如一只只小鹿，不断碰撞观众的内心，引起共鸣和共情。洁净简约的场景，适当的配乐，还让人倍感舒服。
And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson
即使是构建的屏幕乌托邦，现实如果能朝向它迈出小小的一步也很棒啊。感觉就像一桶火药，等待着火焰的到来。～
老阿姨想法哈多，沙大啊
没毛病，爱情电影里完美的男人形象，只可能是花大价钱的高价鸭。
故事的立意我其实是很感兴趣的，然而越看越无聊，情节和拍摄都很干瘪，女主角说我知道你的真名以及向Becky说明what they do的时候，我真的很遗憾。另外反复的说教，尴尬的输出，还有最后反应过来女主角是特里劳妮教授……如此种种愈发让我觉得像一块粘牙的太妃糖，紧紧糊住我的脑神经……这感觉实在太糟糕了。
演的真好，好多地方笑死。最喜欢藏标签那个镜头，Emma Thompson太可爱了。
女主说她丈夫死后她再也不会去假装高潮，而观众似乎也不必因为终镜看到了高潮而非得表态满意过程。“双人斗室由性开论”是一种亚类俗套。相对最近的罗马房间、马德里1987，稍远的那部著名的都市仲夏夜……应该说把玩此类素材，英人自有其独到的叙事武器：冷幽默。各种荤腥术语脱口而出然后在对其进行诙谐自讽。可这种特色能量半个小时之后也就像女主的婚姻生活那样陷入乏味，更别说撑满90多分钟？实在太难！这时又不敢像法国人那样用全然放开随性自然的大尺度去助燃（说助燃其实不够准确，“坦诚相待毫无顾忌”应该是此类题材的头号标配！若非如此便不足以弥补不换场景俩人话唠还不是喜剧所必然产生的单调乏味。大家想想是不是这个道理？），甚至为了避免“说到做到”还要反复依靠女儿的电话来给自己“救场”？
希望我和朋友们早日挣脱内心的枷锁，不仅在爱好上、阅读上、影视剧里获得快乐，而且能真真正正地体验到身体所能享受到的一切美好的感觉。
别再耻于谈性，别再对自己的身体羞耻，也别再固步自封地将就了。性是美好的，身体也是，职业也是没有高低之分的。每个人都该好好的认识自己，把自己的精神和肉体全部解放。
婶美晕了我没有心思看其他的什么台词剧情或者男主，太美了太美了美到令人感动的那种，完完全全超出表象的美，和电影的思考产生了联动。剧本还是挺细腻的，第一次碰面写得特别精确。
3.5 全程都在脑补性转版Leo，Emma Thompson的表演当然是五星，但对女性最终依然需要靠男性引导才能取悦自己多少有点不适，另外亲子话题也稍微太多了。（Irish accent啊真是毫无抵抗力）
讨论了很多很多，关于两代人的想法，亲子关系，欲望，思想的解放，身体的接受，女性的处境，MB或MG的处境…讨论了这么多又留下来很多思考空间，而不仅仅只是空洞的表达。
无论是已婚未婚离异甚至是独身主义
讲真对我来讲 结尾的diy高潮和艾玛的裸体对镜 是减分项，太顺拐没新意了吧。咖啡厅偶遇昔日学生今日侍者的段落则有趣得多。
Emma Thompson 演技精湛，真的太优秀了！
