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.
Aaron Sorkin这部算是在尝试自己不熟悉的题材类型，但看起来始终未找到适合的创作切入点/表达重点，人物、结构甚至自己拿手的对白都显得呆板…… Kidman和Javier Bardem全程出戏，演得刻意，还不如不用口音；Bardem西班牙人演南美人总是不可信，始终有股欧洲味。
一个不会吸引广泛观众群的题材。就靠Sorkin的节奏和角色性格展示了。3.7星。
又是一部稀松平常的传记片，看完完全没看出来这是索金，甚至觉得片子里的各种comedy都要比片子本身有意思。妮可的表演有些用力，很多小细节都会让你为这个角色惋惜，但更多的时候你都会在想，这真的是个喜剧女演员吗？
艾伦·索金的人物都精明干练，感觉智商不够不配活在他的世界里哈哈哈。
透析上世紀五、六〇年代喜劇紅星露西·鮑爾與夫婿戴西·阿納茲的戲劇與婚姻內幕，露西和戴西都擁有完整的正常人格，尤其是露西幾乎接近完人，沒有一般巨星酗酒、吸毒…等慣有惡習；尤其不會像感情電影裡愛渲染的精神沉淪或情緒失控戲碼，一切都朝健康走向。
食之无味，弃之可惜。艾伦索金在立项的时候真的觉得除了沉浸在旧时光走不出来的业内人士之外，有人会对这个故事有兴趣吗？即便再工整的放大情感也显得很无趣啊，就像丈夫完美的解决社会舆论后仍被妻子发现了两个口红印一样的稀松平常。
整部电影有点流水账的感觉，但基德曼的表演还是不错的
但索金的剧本怎么会如此令人失望?！
2022-03-24 很高效地单一场景做了不同时间比例的嵌套，当中拉开差别的表演方式只是叙事时空出入点的表象，真实的界限是目光聚焦的位置，望向表层或是注视内里。
1. 妮可的脸假到第一眼都不敢认
前面冗长无聊，最后的高潮十分感动。妮可不是最合适的人选，但她撑住了。
你说她爱家吧，情节都是她们两公婆在为事业奋斗。你说她时间跨度不大吧，这导演还乱序回溯。总之就是乱七八糟
妮可·基德曼演的很好，我觉得拿奥斯卡是OK的。但除了最后20分钟，整体枯燥乏味，特别是对美国电视业（还是60年代）不了解的话，更是如此。不过，看了本片，起码对美国曾经红极一时的情境喜剧（哪怕是早期）是如何拍出来的有了些浮光掠影的认识，也算是个收获吧……
影片成功再现【我爱露西】经典情景喜剧的情节，聚焦里卡多夫妇离婚前一周发生的危机和矛盾。
3.5 题材从律政来到社会，同样的台词密度就会稍显紧促，再加上过满的主题，让电影更显的节奏失控。我可能第一次欣赏到了基德曼的表演。
Masterpiece!!!一部以编剧闻名的导演拍出的关于编剧的，能够让观众体验到置身于编剧情景那种头脑风暴和紧张感的电影。借助极其密集的台词加上极其紧凑的节奏，驱使所有观众都不得不屏住呼吸转动脑袋跟上节奏直到最后五分钟妮可·基德曼的奥斯可时刻才有机会能够大口喘气。喘息之余又能够被影片所描述的大制片人弊病、女性职场困境以及情感所感动。Lucy, I'm home! 去他妈的男人也去他妈的home......
一群优秀的演员拯救了艾伦索金的剧本。妮可基德曼、哈维尔巴登和Jk西蒙斯配得上奥斯卡的提名，但艾伦索金却被一星期的时间概念框柱了。拆开精美的包装，只不过是用高密度的台词尽可能多的塞满种族、家庭和女性等颁奖季青睐的议题。
完全没有看过传记对象及剧集，没有啥触动，只觉得技术上处理得比较巧妙，剧里剧外现实、拍摄和旧影片穿插互相铺垫推进，表演自然是好的
剪辑有点乱，夹杂的那些回忆有点过于累赘了。但是妮可基嫚的表演是蛮惊喜的。
其实不难看的。但是索金的武器库里面就这几样东西，他笔下的人物都太趋同了。
