Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.
尽管有一种自媒体拍摄的味道，没想到还挺好看。
很真实，拍摄的方式很纪录片，带给观众亲近，不过剧情确实平平无奇。人物角色方面，妈妈的塑造非常好，反而女朋友的刻画有些扁平。配乐不错，但过多使用反而让人不适。
很真实的生活，家长里短的潮汕风味，想要本地媳妇的妈妈，在华强北做电商的儿子，自媒体的离婚未来儿媳，传统和现代碰撞，淳朴而简单的对话。
对于潮汕家庭还有邻里亲朋的描写刻画好鲜活，想家了。情与爱部分就…不说了吧。0118二刷开心，潮汕话三丙帝都考卷
美中带有不足才是生活本来就有的样子，导演最后让妈妈的接受，恰恰也是电影美中不足之处。。。妈妈的反应都是那么的真实，彷佛就是自己的母亲一样，但大多数的时候在儿子已经放弃的时候，妈妈反过来再接受的概率还是很低的，深爱我们的妈妈只会一直内疚，内疚到不知所措。。。但不得不承认，电影已经足够优秀，素人演员的表现也足够真实，剧本和场景都让我十分的享受。。。看过很多反映小人物的台湾电影，忽然觉得，无论他们看待大陆，其实台湾人民骨子里面的东西不就跟电影里看到的潮汕人民一样么
电影情节很简单，但是接地气的演绎和潮汕风情还是很打动人，而且在相对轻松的叙事里把要表达的观点和地方特有人文都展示得很好。素人演员总是具备任何演技不可企及的细节，妈妈、爸爸真实，奶奶成了搞笑和开明担当。突然觉得和大鹏的“吉祥如意＂可以对照着看。
确实是很真实的潮汕文化了，感觉现在越来越多潮汕小孩都不愿再传承这样的思想，希望所有潮汕父母都能看见爱并放下偏见
天台分手纵深，女人走入夜色中。
透过离婚标签看到具体生动的人🌟看完电影想来一盘麻叶喝碗番薯粥
跟导演约好了春节出来喝茶，大家看完有什么问题可以留言，到时候代你们向导演发问啊😎
虽说都是素人演员，但演技都不觉得生硬。笑料和当地文化结合的非常到位。
男主还是很幸运的，有个以他开心为主的妈妈，很多人的父母哪怕断绝来往还是接受不了坚持己见。

看完电影 很想找个周末再去潮汕逛逛🥳
2022开年黑马之作，小成本制作但相当用心，配乐好好听好舒服。广东非潮汕人表示看得懂，毕竟身边潮汕人挺多而且工作原因去过潮汕好多次，文化风俗美食都拍得很贴地气，简直把我看饿了。只是末段拍得反差有点大，突然去到西湖有点突兀，结束的飞机长镜头不知道想表达什么，男主演技一般天台分手戏太尬了。好久没试过完全依靠字幕看电影，眼睛太累了而且也错过了好多细节。
看到片中间的时候，就在想千万不要是俗套的烂结局，一点也不现实。不过，也真有点害怕这片子有过于现实，还是会期待一个圆满的结局。
由《爸，我一定行！》原班人马拍摄的《带你去见我妈》，很原汁原味的潮汕方言电影，非常亲切，很多爆笑梗，整部片子有笑有泪，演员们表达自然流露非常真实，沉浸感十足，全程看得津津有味、笑得前仰后合、哭得稀里哗啦！一定要看，推荐！
妈妈总让我想起我妈，不忍心打四星。
中规中矩的乡土电影和旅游景点宣传片。就表演和故事，以及摄影，值3星。剩下一星是鼓励性质的。
寻常巷陌的潮汕风情看着很舒服，故事非常普通，几乎没有戏剧冲突，更像是一段纪录片。男主的人设不错，但演员演的有点麻木，看表情你以为他应该一切都成竹在胸，结果啥也没搞定。看了大半天到机场以为好歹有点高潮了，结果又平平淡淡，虽然你讲的是一段普普通通的生活故事，但也不能照着Vlog去拍吧。
