A brief trip back home turns into a longer stay when Eric finds himself caught between catching up with his two sisters and conquering his old poker group. The more Eric extends his visit to prove that he is still the best poker player in town, the harder it becomes to steer clear of the old fault lines in his relationship with his sister Rachel. As their little sister Maggie attempts to recreate the intimate world they once shared, Eric and Rachel are faced with the divide between their childhood selves and the adults they have now become.
Displaying all the sensitivity and wicked humour of his previous works, Dustin Guy Defa’s new film is a shrewd study of the pitiless condition known as adulthood. After growing up in a family unit that constitutes your whole world, with its particular set of habits and a shared language, crossing the border into the realm of adults can feel disempowering, even terrifying. A sense of loss may be difficult to ever really overcome. The film’s meticulous structure and novelistic depth lay bare this fundamental fear, but also the resources that exist to fight it. Setting about this treasure hunt deep within as individuals and as a family is an admirable trio of actors whose interpretation is as nuanced as it is poignant.
本意是讽刺资本家，但是看前半段我只觉得员工一个比一个不靠谱，后半段的讽刺力度也很弱，真实的职场要比这部片子讽刺多了。
“他”还没出生就杀死了自己的妈妈，他正青壮年却杀死了病卧在床的爸爸，每个人无论男女或多或少都和自己的父亲母亲有矛盾，不过即使再有恨意，上天也不会原谅你做了泯灭人性的事。想要重新开始，即使继续生活的很成功，上天安排的报应早晚也会来的。有些人天生就是“怪人”，有些人是后天“被逼”成怪人，无论怎样都是人性的黑暗面。陀螺的电影依然保持了自己独有的怪异特色，只是这一部确实有点冗长了，马戏团的戏过多，总时长控制在两个小时差不多合适。
尽搞些花哨东西，故事都没讲清，比老版逊色太多了
没看过老版，就这个新版来看非常好，希望所有相信岐黄之术的鹅们好好接受科普，读心之骗术是可以编一个大全的。而且里头服化道那个精致程度，令人瞠目。
摄影、美术真是一贯托罗的细致扎实，原以为会是一个魔幻故事，没想到是一个阿加莎式的故事
谎言是走向地狱的捷径，贪欲是走向地狱的通行证～
场景设计极致优秀，三位女性角色表演非常不错，库珀也没有拖后腿。剧情实在是平平，翻拍没有体现出什么新意且拖拖拉拉，瓶中死胎标本惊悚值拉满，但难以承认它对于人物心理或者命运的隐喻有很大作用。Geek的首尾呼应是不错但铺垫确实太费时间，Stan和父亲的关系看得我云里雾里。本来入坑是因为那张雪地魔兔剧照然而电影里她们几乎可以说是不认识…一点略微没看懂的点：Stan落魄后看到的报纸上是Zeena意思是她再次成功了吗？
对不起，欧洲人对公平的追求超越了对效率的渴望。也有可能我被美式管理术PUA了。
I thought this was going to be Guillermo del toro's The Prestige but no
这种暗黑风格很容易让人迷幻，前半截稍微有些拖沓，但故事完成度很高，想来也是如此，人到了此处，自然就会迷失，塔罗预言一般。
多出来的40分钟得到了精致的埋线和铺垫，也带来了刻意和冗长。
结局真是讽刺啊。。兜兜转转回到原点了
前面的铺垫确实太过冗长 导致结尾没办法撑得起来
这个故事真的震撼我，能写出这个剧本的编剧简直不要太牛逼，后来才发现这是翻拍
越发想看原版 库珀我不想提 他不红是有道理的 你们凯特大魔王那段戏我看了两遍 惊叹于她与黑色电影里蛇蝎美人的完美融合 太迷人热烈了
“墨西哥三杰”里，我最无感的就是陀螺。新电影看完，更无感了。和原版没差，他“翻拍”了一遍，没有创新。
陀螺最大的优势在于能赋予影片出色的视觉设计与氛围，最大的缺点则是精致的画面下空洞的表达内容。其不知取舍过于冗长的铺陈段落如若在最后不能累积绽放，那对于观众就是煎熬。 2.5
不難看，但可能剪成幾集電視劇放上netflix效果更好
再次验证对陀螺的欣赏无能。只可惜了一票超级大牌。
The irony of self-fulfilling prophecies. Or is it an allegory for failing to take therapy seriously? The idea is good -- that everyone's opportunists in a hustler's world, except for the innocence that offers love and support with almost no boundaries until they get deeply hurt.
