Jack, an Alaskan ex patriot, returns to his Fairbanks home following the death of his wife. He is full of anger, guilt and depression. His reclusive lifestyle is challenged when he meets a graduate student who is investigating the affects of the mining operations on a local water source. The film was shot on location in Fairbanks. The cinematography is beautiful and genuine. There is nothing fake or stereotypical about the portrayal of the subarctic summer and lifestyle. Filmed during in mid-June during the longest day of the year, the cinematographer and the director make excellent use of the midnight sun and the seasonal beauty unique to this part of the world. For this Fairbanksan, it was refreshing to see a film where Interior Alaska is portrayed with such integrity. Daniel Ponickly, who stars as Jack delivers a good performance as the widower who is lost in his grief. Ponickly also wrote the screenplay. This is the second full length feature film for director Zoe Quist. Her first film, Raw Cut, a thriller was also filmed in a panoramic environment -Dubois, WY- she made excellent use of the natural beauty of the environment. Through these two different stories, Quist proved her directing talent and ability. Newcomer Carrie Baker, and veteran Mischa Barton give very good performances. I would have liked to see more of Barton. Syd Wilder, is very convincing as the waitress with a heart of gold and a body for sin as are very convincing in their bad boy roles Jonathan Bennett and Levi Ben-Israel. Billy Zane is well cast as a UAF School of Geophysics professor, Toly Ramirez wrote the score for Mining for Ruby, as he did the haunting music for Raw Cut. The length of the film is 95 minutes and this writer found them to be a very enjoyable way to rediscover his home town.
Good luck, take care.
艾玛汤普森太顶了。其实很工整。但就是超坚定的价值观引领的娴熟的叙事，准确的表演让整部戏一点都不boring，完全忘了是个室内戏。
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。
近结尾时再回头想，几幕戏写得非常工整，似乎就应该这么铺排，隐藏人物就应该这么出现，但只靠表演和台词就把人全带进去了。艾玛汤普森从少女时期至今的角色总有共性：羞怯，自卑，喜欢琢磨语言文辞，总是害怕尴尬，这些特点更容易让人觉得她就在演我们自己。
非常喜欢！整个电影就发生在一间房间里，Emma Thompson和Daryl McCormack太绝了，两个人演得太好，细微的感情在两个人的对话中蔓延，so charming and so vulnerable！两人第四次见面的时候，我狠狠地哭了一把。结局实在好治愈，最后Leo走在夕阳下的街头，微笑着抬起头，而Nancy在镜子前看着自己并不完美的身体，释然地笑了。
电影是写得弱了些，架空的白日梦，然而汤普森演得真的太好。社会建构加诸女性思想和身体的规条实在太多，难以摆脱，连幻想都摆脱不了亲情修补。弯女类似题材的《脑震荡》倒还可以看看，也是白人中产阶级的幻想
一场年轻人与老一辈人关于性方面的交流，从性进而延伸到整个人生。性是人生的一部分，同时也应该在人生当中永存，获得愉悦也是每个人应该有的权利。Nancy束缚在宗教的框架之中，惧怕接受未知的体验，认为性欲是罪，是一切破坏的源头。Leo无法面对自己的真实身份，厌恶过去的自我，对家庭感到自卑，渴望抛弃过往，展开一段全新的人生。四次会面，四次交流。谈话的内容虽然很多都以忘却，但不可否认的是，两个人都比从前活得更加有质感。不伪装，用真实、开放的心态去迎接这个世界，其实也没那么不堪。到最后，即使对方只是自己漫漫人生路当中的一个过客，没有被给予上帝般的救赎，但只要能够互相认同彼此之间的不完整，毫无遗憾地与之道别，就是与自己一场成功的和解。
看见《性，谎言，录像带》分比这低那么多我整个人都不好了……
女主的尝试是新观念向旧观念的挑战,也是人性的觉醒和胜利。性,欲望,衰老,原生家庭,直面自我，剧本精巧。
在最私密的空间和互动事件中，他唤起了她的性觉醒，而她也引导他放下了对家人的“戒备”，四次会面带来的改变足以修正人生偏差，镜头里她的眼神中有光，尽管身体的衰老无法逆转，但灵魂的魅力与活力有希望长存。P.S:想起了之前和朋友谈论X工作与社会发展的关系，看完此篇后更坚定自己的想法。
Jesus loves you more than you will know
室内戏，这就很考验演技。艾玛·汤普森，你大娘永远是你大娘。
性愉悦应该列入社会保障体系！hearhear
“叫鸡应该被纳入社会公共福利”哈哈哈，小哥确实是三观超正,言语中给人的慰藉不逊于心理医生,(而《诊疗椅上的谎言》中则有心理医生通过性行为安慰病人,乱套了不是)。
本来其实四星蛮稳的，当男主说性工作合法化的时候我下头下到南极，艺术表达有自由我尊重，同样我也有表达不接受的自由
目前看到一半，就已经为这个男的留下泪水，我想挣钱，我也想和他做爱！
想看莎莉霍金斯也来演演这个角色
老妇青鸭版《性爱照进现实》。记忆里劝妓女从良是中老男熟客办完事儿之后的爱好，这下性别反转了，只是老年人喜欢教育人罢了，不分男女，还是青鸭比较专业。
女主的尝试是新观念向旧观念的挑战,也是人性的觉醒和胜利。性,欲望,衰老,原生家庭,直面自我，剧本精巧。
一二次约会的紧张小心翼翼拍的挺动人，但转而三四次约会又落入原生家庭、自我和解的窠臼。主题是accept yourself，accept your body仅仅是几句台词以及结尾一笔带过，要是对accept our body的探讨多一些也许会更喜欢。
