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.
虽然有着差不多的结构和叙事
但是，印度的女性应该得到重视
就着最近的新闻，印度四男子强奸巨蜥，这片子值五星。
电影意义更重要，女总理也像傀儡，秘书都能帮她做决定🤯
选题很好，非常好，且直击社会痛点，但拍的冗长又乏味也是真的，偶有小惊喜片段，还算不错，三星。
…果然有点失望…这玩意儿换故事男主会更牛逼…
解决绑架案方面，细节和合理性有待提高。解决社会问题方面，更是任重道远。
但是，印度的女性应该得到重视
只有桑婆的演技很棒，剧本有些潦草，每一步都在预知范围，结局收尾仓促
近两年印影愈发优秀了，里面的女性角色充满光辉
真是压抑啊，情感被压着，行为也被法律压制。怎么办，生活还是要继续的。
题材很有社会意义，但情节逻辑上还是有不少漏洞，以女主这般被听到以及与总理见面的诉求来看，按剧情中的计划来走要成功的概率太小，不稳定因素也太多了…以及结尾实在太理想主义，现实依然充满残酷，当然电影这般美好的展现，也许也是表达一种对女性境遇改善的希冀吧。另外始终还是觉得印度电影的通病就是节奏太拖沓，并且过分煽情和戏剧化的对话和表演，会弱化整个主题的冲击性以及严肃性。
印度的女权主义者们加油！什么时候把等级也取消了才算胜利
好无语，白白浪费我两个小时，我以为什么呢，铺垫了快两个点，结果就这？你哪怕拍90分钟都能比现在好，真的墨迹死个人，印度电影真的拖死人不偿命。
女主身世是值得同情的，采取劫持儿童的行为是不妥的。
为什么设定是妹妹，不是女儿？在跟养父母对峙时，女主说，是我把她养大的？？？？？？？？？？？5岁？？？？？养大？？？？
Since you've started watching this film,as per statistics,8 women have raped in our country.
电影意义更重要，女总理也像傀儡，秘书都能帮她做决定🤯
8.1 节奏和压迫感恰如其分。第一部被桑德拉演技震撼到的片子。到了最后并没有心绞痛，如钢琴奏完的余韵，脑子给了泪腺反应然后留下了释然的眼泪。
这剧情不意外，甚至有些狗血，但女主角的演绎和风格处理还是挽回了不少。
