For 27-year-old Ben (Josh Lawson), life couldn’t be better. A well paid job, friends, parties, girls and nothing to tie him down. But when he is invited back to his old school to join several other ex-students including Alex (Rachael Taylor) and Jim (Ed Kavalee) in talking about their personal achievements, something goes wrong. Ben is the only speaker not to be asked a question by the school kids. This triggers a year of soulsearching and looking for answers in all the wrong places.
From his best friend Andy (Christian Clark) whose solution is that they both take another holiday, to his mentor Sam (Lachy Hulme) who loans him a sports car in the belief that there’s nothing like excessive speed to resolve emotional turmoil. Not even Ben’s father (Rob Carlton) or friends Nick (Daniel Henshall) and Em (Felicity Ward) can offer much in the way of meaningful guidance.
Of course, it’s not easy seeking enlightenment in nightclubs, or on the ski fields of New Zealand, and when you start dating a Russian tennis star things can get really complicated. As the poster boy for a generation desperate to tick every box, Ben begins to suspect that the meaning of life may well reside in the things he's already doing - and a girl he used to know.
2021年12月25日观看。桑德拉演的很好，情绪拿捏到位。
一个并不复杂的故事被导演讲述得抽丝剥茧，情绪也随着真相大白一涌而出。女主桑德拉的演技了得，非常细腻，姐姐这个角色是相当丰满了。
博同情故事，秀情感大戏，女主整容后时代来临，有点变形的假面看起来肥肠难受
女性群像和共同体刻画得很立体，可惜还是太满了，好莱坞匠气
3.5星，前半部分故事有多引人入胜，结尾就有多庸俗潦草
简单的坚强，简单的语言，才能讲好悲伤的故事。
姐姐行使着母亲的责任，着实伟大，承受着生命不可承受之重
Sandra Bullock is good. And lots of Vancouver-pretend-to-be Seattle scenes made me excited…
结局那一抱出乎意料，但喜大普奔是否就是最好的结局呢？
很喜欢主演，几乎撑起了整部电影。小女孩的部分太虐心了。
剧本太刻意了，在一众流水线作品中也算不上优质，评分明显过誉。
律师行见养父母那场戏，
211212@ pianku 女猪老了；这样顶罪也可以？手上不会有火药残留啥的吗
看一半猜到剧情。逻辑有点弱。结尾处理的挺好，Sandra bullock演技在线。
一部好电影的要素都有了，故事、冲突、观点、演技，令人震撼
桑德拉演技炸裂，单凭那张脸就足够表明过往一切的心酸和凄楚。
前半小时看得昏昏沉沉，后面随着阿姐寻妹的行动的逐渐深入，错综复杂的关系逐渐戏剧化
为了曾经的女神看的。剧情太痛苦了，看得很抑郁。
结局就这样？纯粹为了给女主秀演技的吧……其他点都是浅浅的点到为止
一个速溶牛奶咖啡的三集短剧故事，浓缩成espresso一样的标准时长电影，必然有很多令人失望的剧情过渡。人物侧写让叙事变得简洁却对人物有些模糊，尤其支线反面人物变得有些跳脱。
