BACK FORK is the story of an everyman, WAYLON, struggling to hold his life and family together after a heartbreaking tragedy. He and his wife, NIDA, barely recognize themselves, let alone each other. Their inability to continue on and to heal, leaves them hopeless. With the growing burden of the unanswered questions of why, and a heavy dose of self-blame, It's only a matter of time before Waylon turns to the magic of the pills to make the problems disappear. He finds a kindred spirit in his sister, RAYLENE, as he sleep walks through life with addiction. It's only a matter of time until Waylon finds himself at a crossroads. He learns that he's been asking the wrong question all along. The question isn't why, rather, where do I go from here? He's then able to see that we're all wounded animals. Sometimes we die, but sometimes we live.
本与剧情没有任何关联的「甘草披萨」，却成为了影片气质的象征；其意指中的唱片店/黑胶既是作者对那个时代的认知也是他的确认。就像影片借用各位原型人物——政客、明星、生意人而更多展现他们的滑稽和尴尬戏态（也包括主角自己）这些必要的外在包围才使得纯真的爱与友谊更具力量。向往自由的人、想要改变世界的人互相关照是PTA眼中那个时代的奏鸣曲，那么重新演绎一遍比任何紧扣当下的议题辩驳都更有可能冲击现实。不过，这也只有在允许变奏的社会环境下才有效；因此必须再说，除去这层联想，它本身的关系构建也足够持存。
松散的质地囊括了太多表达，肢体掩盖于事件下，难以碰撞。尽管有些太过美国，但，或许真是最好的青春片
What unpolished, awkward, yet sweet youthfulness.
很扎实，几处定格就把人物心理展露无遗，事情的转折看似什么都没讲，但呈现的结果已在情理之中，好笑又大条。
所以说啊…..唉，也没什么好说的。男人至死是屁孩儿，女人至死要当妈。永远的拧巴，永远看不见尽头。
This really makes me uncomfortable...mostly because of the age differences and what would count as statutory rape. ofc it's normal to like someone older or someone younger but seemingly mature, but there was little arc except for Alana finally finding out more about what she wants. Neither of them is working through any of their personal issues. They are still toxic.
看不懂，世界上最糟糕的人我都不理解了，这个我更不明白了，可能东西方文化差异？
当pta拍了一部看似挺有趣且门槛不怎么高的片子，而我却几乎无法在主角成长亦或是情感变化中找到任何情感共振是挺遗憾的（部分转折有点突兀），后半段也只在欣赏一些光影啊调度啊还有恰到好处的配乐等他的强项，但还是很喜欢
看到半夜 打车送我回家 第二天上班睡眠困乏但是一直开心
2022-3-4. 好老套的剧情，导演似乎太想表达自己的女权观点了，so American~
对自己不知所措的人，总是希望可以跑到什么地方。
听说是姐弟恋兴冲冲点进来…好油腻的teenager，像45岁，越看越想打人。
can't say i totally get it，但从中看出了青春，看出了迷惘，看出了疯狂。
大美女人设应该大美女来演；可能预期过高了，整个阅片过程都很别扭难受，如坐针毡两小时
那场打电话的戏我可以看一百遍。俩人都拿着话筒，一言不发，只是辨认彼此的呼吸。
weird but actually kinda fun to watch
PTA的风格依然迷人，视听剪辑还是强大，但对于这个故事还是接受无能。

小艺真的太太太可爱啦 一开始都没发现是虞书欣配的 好厉害！
开头走廊上的拉扯，不切，用个完整的长镜头会更好。
