UCLA college student Jonathan Moore (Anthony Edwards) is playing a game called "Gotcha" (popular on mid-1980s college campuses as "Assassin" or "Tag"), wherein the players are all assigned a mock "hit" on another player by use of a harmless paintball gun. Moore and his apartment roommate Manolo go on a vacation to Paris, France. After touring some of Paris, in a cafe Moore meets Sasha Banicek (Linda Fiorentino), a Czechoslovakian girl. Eventually, Jonathan has intercourse with Sasha, losing his virginity.
Jonathan decides to leave Manolo (who is heading to Spain) and go with Sasha to West Berlin to spend more time with her. Jonathan believes that he is in love with Sasha. There, Jonathan and Sasha continue to have sex and even go to an Oktoberfest beer gathering. One night, Sasha tells Jonathan that she has to go to East Berlin to pick up a package. One night after arriving in East Berlin, Sasha leaves their hotel room and walks to dark street corner. There, Sasha meets a German man who tells her the location of the pickup of her package. Meanwhile, Sasha was being monitored by a Soviet agent, who was sitting in a car at a distance. During the day, Sasha tells Jonathan that if she gives him a certain message, it means that he has to leave East Berlin immediately. At a cafe, Sasha gives Jonathan a package and says that a strudel is inside. A little later, Sasha tells Jonathan to meet her at the butcher shop near their hotel. All of a sudden, a Soviet agent begins to chase after Sasha. Sasha decides to use Jonathan (who is holding her package) to unknowingly get the package over to West Berlin. Meanwhile, Sasha is taken by the Soviet agent and East German secret police.
Jonathan goes to Checkpoint Charlie to cross the heavily fortified border into West Berlin. At the East German customs search, Jonathan is stripped of his clothes and given a cavity search. Meanwhile, Sasha is stripped and searched for possible espionage evidence. Vlad arrives at the border crossing to search for Jonathan, however Jonathan passes the border safely before he can be captured. Once in West Berlin, Jonathan feels liberated by the Westernized society. In the hotel, Jonathan receives a message from Sasha to meet him at a specified location. Jonathan finds out that his hotel room was broken into and robbed of his traveler's checks. Soviet agents eventually find Jonathan in West Berlin and chase him throughout a public park. Jonathan jumps into a water canal and manages to escape from the Soviets and stumbles upon a German rock group headed for Hamburg, who offer him a ride to the airport.
The rock group successfully get Jonathan to the airport (using full-face makeup to sneak him past a checkpoint) and Jonathan finally arrives in Los Angeles Tom Bradley International Airport and to his apartment. Soon, Vlad and a band of Soviet agents arrive too in Los Angeles. Once home, Jonathan stumbles upon a film canister, which was planted by Sasha. Jonathan visits his parents and tells them what happened in Germany but they cannot believe a word of it and think Jonathan is on drugs. Jonathan decides to call the FBI then the Central Intelligence Agency for help. Jonathan returns to find his apartment broken into and looted.
The CIA officer tells Jonathan to give them the photo film canister. At the Los Angeles headquarters of the CIA, Jonathan spots Sasha who looks like she was working there. Jonathan eventually meets up with Sasha. Sasha admits that she is Cheryl Brewster, a CIA agent, originally from Pittsburgh. Out of nowhere, Vlad and his gang begin to chase Jonathan and Cheryl on the UCLA campus. Jonathan eliminates all the Soviets with a tranquilizer gun which he gets from the campus veterinary sciences building. The Soviets are arrested, the CIA agents thank Jonathan for his (indirect) help in obtaining the film, and Sasha tells him she wants to continue their relationship.
After they part, Jonathan talks to a pretty student who rebuffs him coldly. As she walks away, he aims the tranquilizer pistol and shoots her in the rear.
前两天就看完了，一直想着要写点什么，但千言万语最终只汇聚成了一句话：不婚不育，永葆青春，快乐似神仙～
影片的故事在逻辑上便有很大的漏洞，情绪浮于表面，以致导演刻意营造的中年女性的焦虑感难以成立
未被言说过的经验，但在各个角度上呼应费兰特的其他作品，或许这些碎片拼凑起来，就能看到她的人生——然而看到又如何。Olivia Colman在我这最深刻的角色是Fleabag里的后妈，电影一开始的时候看见这张脸就想打她，看到结局却已经接受了这个新角色。Kyle则分分钟梦回西部世界拔枪杀人不眨眼。
3.5 the drama itself is very, well, interesting, sophisticated, and a somber view of motherhood, why making it feel like a thriller... a mixture of touching and confusing moments. and speaking of work life balance for professional women, looks quite devastating, lol. and Olivia Colman, what can i say, national treasure.
很精致，表演吸引人。这个主题太沉重了，是除了女导演很难感受到并表现出的啊。
不太确定导演是否知道自己要什么。和拉扎罗用同一个摄影，和兰斯莫斯的宠爱/normalpeople用同样的演员，如此强大的处女作阵容，制作出来如此散碎的叙事，实在让人难以啃下这块资本的蛋糕。无处不在的扰人配乐，为沉重而沉重，为压抑而压抑，女性力量不是抱怨谴责或娇嗔，我们有我们不依附于男权中心社会的活法。
一次出逃的永久余波，为人母是将自己的一块肉分享出去，也像把厌恶的一面排出去。
Maggie的导演处女作，知道想表达母亲被孩子烦燥死了，但总是闪回混乱，我不喜欢。
直到娃娃嘴里吐出沙虫来 这些年反刍的愧疚是否也终于可以向谁倾吐
想到妈咪在几次谈话中为对待小时候的我有很多不耐烦甚至加诸暴力悔恨不已说觉得很对不起，问我记不记恨她，每一次我都很诚恳地看着她回答：“不怪你，一点都不怪你，我理解，真的能理解，而且我不是成长为很好的人了嘛。”母职如何才能不成为一种惩罚呢，不论外界的支持能做到何种程度，这总之都携带着牺牲意味。
Maggie真的是超出我的預期，作為導演處女作真的是非常驚艷了。
I don't know anything,like everything.
Maggie姐姐导演的 很细腻的感觉 好喜欢音乐
早育毁一生。导演技巧不是很高。女主角特写，pov, 特写again, 配上一个音乐来force emotions。好多莫名的empty air。摄影构图普通，晚上的室内光不好看。
始终尾随的男性 及男性的女性帮凶 严密审视和监控着异己的眼睛 猎巫的眼睛/见到碎片重影 日渐浮软的皮肉与全副铠甲下受苦的心:无法和解但仍应庆祝你
3+
几处略微重点刻画的女性的对视，都….，那种“我有些事想告诉你”的神情，在眼白的反光中闪耀，耀目到观众有点坐立不安….但剧作上我还有许多地方未想明白….
母亲的责任还是自己的追求，一部探索女性内心的科尔曼独角戏，最后总觉得有点表述不清，表演加一星
作为第一部长片真的可以怒打四星，奥利维娅在这里塑造的时而游离时而坚定，坚强又极度自私的母亲太好了，年轻时期的配角也非常出彩，这次颁奖礼也有很大赢面。评论里有一条很多的赞的观点不太同意说受不了电影里小孩们的聒噪就不要小孩的观点，主题是这样肯定必须放大在特定空间里的小孩和母亲的反应的，不必当作参考，真实生活里还是要根据真实情况作判断才是了。
处女作就拍得如此细腻娴熟，很有才华！；音乐相当加分
