当马利克避开了宇宙洪荒天地玄黄那些过于宏观的视角，回到了真正人本的角度，所有的外在都在流动的镜头里融合却又被抽象化，这些外在是不断生长的作物与更替的自然季节，是天地不仁，不以人内心及社会的动荡为转移，也是邪恶的阴影，是恐惧吞噬的人心，是被扭曲的内心驱使吐露出的恶语（有趣的是这些语言在这里以无字幕的德语出现，更加抽象与外在），真正的主角是内心的声音，以缓慢诗性的英语颂出的，不可被以上的“外在”所听见感知，所谓“隐秘”，而恰恰是这些“隐秘”的内在生命在这部电影里以更加可见的方式传递给观众。马利克为自己的镜头语言找到了这些年来最合适的内在，真正的美国新教基本传统价值观，在这样的时刻以福音形式再次传道，但吊诡之处在于，其有效性又可能止步于已经听到过这些声音并隐约有所认同的人，很难产生完全的顿悟与启示片名不好，误导观影情绪，还给人一种标题党的感觉。当然，片子的质量还是可以的，只是过于侧重女人心理描摹，又是难分对错的敏感社会问题，其评价注定两极分化。抛开争议，其它的电影元素都是在及格线以上的，无论是台词，布景还是细节，氛围的营造，都能紧紧围绕女主的心理展开。女主全篇抑郁脸，却经常敷衍性邪魅一笑，表面的平静和内心的波澜对比强烈，这样的女人实在可怕。警察的表演中规中矩，但丈夫的角色就有点表面了，尤其是抢劫时的表现，太过镇定和平静了。说回剧情，抢劫的戏实在经不起推敲，无论是保姆还是丈夫的表现，刻意为之的感觉太重，主创无非就是想让女主的困扰尽量合理，但即便这样，也显矫情。鼓励多些这种引人思考的题材，加一星。即使主创没有也不可能给出答案，个人认为，敏感社会话题引人争论永远难分对错，核心在于度的把握。Prom Pact is set at the height of prom season. High school senior Mandy Coleman and her best friend and fellow outsider Ben are surrounded by over-the-top '80s-themed Promposals. However, Mandy keeps her eyes focused on a different goal: her lifelong dream of attending Harvard. When she finds out her acceptance has been deferred, she is determined to do whatever she can do to get herself off the waitlist, even if that means asking for help from the one person she abhors - popular all-star jock Graham Lansing, whose father is a powerful senator and Harvard alum. Once Mandy becomes Graham's tutor, she begins to realize there's more to him than she thought and perhaps something more to life than Harvard.
