American psychologist John Holden arrives in London to participate in a symposium aiming to expose witchcraft and devil-worship as a fraud, with attention centered on a cult run by a Julian Karswell. Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].
当我们以局外人的身份审视“女人对于家庭的责任”时，女人出轨，对子女的不负责任，为了事业抛弃家庭，都成为她被我们唾骂和谴责的理由。
好至郁。女人如果能和男人一样过得自私点，可以省去一生中至少90%的烦恼
与其说，你被“暗处的女儿”所控制，不如说，你被内心藏着的那些“关于女儿的暗处”所控制。
3，不少的段落让我真心感到孩童的吵闹和恼人，所以近年自己是否适合生儿育女要值得商榷了
但作为导演处女作来看，很棒了。
一部正经现实主义电影 值得导演骄傲的处女作
还是有黑暗的真相，一生之痛并非丧女的亏欠感，而是抛夫弃女。这在固有的人伦经验里似不多久，母爱被看作与生俱来天经地义，贤妻也是很多人一生的事业，但对于那些并不愿走在世俗路上的人，该怎样对待犯下的过错？该怎样平衡自己的感受与他人的注视？该怎样验证和传递自己的正确性？WYT
费半天劲说了个很简单的事，刚开始还以为是个女版的海边曼彻斯特，结果嗐，谈不上小题大做，但确是故弄玄虚，无甚波澜。
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.
回忆里Leda自己的经历与当下Nina所遭遇的情况没有形成更强有力的力量，实际上Leda偷走娃娃也强迫性的让Nina与女儿共同经历了她失去大女儿的痛苦。
全程充斥着一种压抑的、怪异的、离奇的氛围，时不时加入点轻松的音乐缓解，却不觉得无聊枯燥，反而能跟着主人公变换情绪，继而理解她。今年奥斯卡提名作品看到目前为止感觉最好的一部。
Btw我也好想去海边度假噢。
care them like a mother, dont let me die.
看的太窒息了。所谓母亲，过半都是痛苦和割舍，却鲜见讨论。而且，除了母亲的其他人呢？
角度刁钻 很少会有人拍母亲的这一面吧 值得女主提名
①各种大特加手持，导演不断地把48岁女主褶皱的肌肤、半垂的巨乳、不安的情绪往观众的眼球里怼；②前三十分钟，没有什么突兀的情节，但总觉有事会发生，各种陌生人过于热情近乎叨扰的问候都是假象，真实情况是，这些都是女主内心的脆弱和焦虑的映射；③接下来，就是将女子掩埋在内心深处的痛，一点一点撕开给我们看；④影片真正的价值点，并非指涉焦虑的出处，而是试图阐明，化解困境当然有路可循，但必然要付出抵偿代价；⑤导演处女作值得激赏；⑥演员都是熟脸，相比这一部，更爱《我想结束这一切》中杰西·巴克利的表现。
6.5，整体看下来很难受，我以为会这么持续到最后，但是她女儿和她的关系还行我是没想到的……
6，这种怼脸拍法确实适合拍出沉浸式的情感体验，《斯宾塞》也是这一招，学到了!
冲着卡司来的，卡司没让人失望，配乐很上头！但总感觉一些该有的张力在刻意的剪辑和隐喻的铺陈中丧失掉了
人生好难，出轨、离开儿女感觉不错，但社会建构的那些东西终究让你回来。
