概要:凯瑟琳(伊丽莎白·莫斯(Elisabeth Moss))在她的生活中进入了一个特别黑暗的时期:她的父亲,一位著名的艺术家,她的事务管理,最近去世了,在他的死后,她被男友詹姆斯(Kentucker Audley)抛弃了。凯瑟琳(Catherine)希望恢复健康,前往她最好的朋友弗吉尼亚(Katherine Waterston)湖之家,以获得一些急需的放松。然而,一旦凯瑟琳到达,放松就无法找到,因为她在前一年与詹姆斯在同一屋子度过的时光被克服了。当凯瑟琳(Catherine)通过连接尝试与弗吉尼亚(Virginia)伸出援手时,弗吉尼亚州开始花费更多的时间,与当地的恋爱兴趣,Rich(Patrick Fugit)以及两个妇女之间关系的裂缝开始出现,使Catherine陷入了下降的螺旋。妄想和疯狂。

地球女王不像亚历克斯·罗斯·佩里(Alex Ross Perry)之前的两部电影,Listen Up Philipor色轮, but it is just as confidently (and in many spots, as skillfully) made—a damning quality. It遭受了主题隧道视野和诗意的诗意风格。它不会抓住我们的喉咙,使我们像心理戏剧一样凝视着它,就像Altman一样3 Women或伯格曼的[选择一个……任何一个]。一切地球女王has going for it (mood, dialogue, and pacing), its showcase items—Elisabeth Moss and her take on madness, in-sequence shooting, close-ups, and a couple of forced scenes, one in particular where Moss and co-star Katherine Waterston stare off to nowhere sharing stories of boys and heartbreak over a sad, directive score—don’t come together with fun and fluidity. And yes, psychological dramas can be loads fun (you just have to stretch your definition of the word).

伊丽莎白·莫斯(Elisabeth Moss)在本质上是聚光灯角色的表现出色。莫斯(Moss)按顺序拍摄,能够通过更接近现实生活的经历来描绘凯瑟琳(Catherine)冒泡的心理崩溃。但是,表演像罗伯特·德·尼罗(Robert de Niro愤怒的公牛(不久前我看过的一部电影,这是我对苔藓的几乎苛刻的钦佩地球女王)。有一定的“你要吃它,你会喜欢它”,这是这些压倒性角色和使他们栩栩如生的滚滚表演的一面。

Moss fills the screen from first light; something like Constance Towers in赤裸的吻。但是她的抽搐烈性动作并没有像柯斯滕·邓斯特(Kirsten Dunst)真正令人恐惧的表现那样尖叫忧郁症, or Jennifer Lawrence’s frustrated and fed-up act inSilver Linings Playbook。苔藓,无限才华,并不是完美的适合地球女王as she’s been in her long run as Peggy Olsen on the now defunct疯子,在她的角色Listen Up Philip,我敢说,我说,在她的《一音符》黑暗喜剧的一部分中我爱的人。她在那些角色中似乎更自然,但是很活跃。在这里,您只需要看到笨拙的派对场景 - 凯瑟琳(Catherine)的大型情感崩溃,以及莫斯(Moss)发光的时间,这表明了各种双手抓住她,就像班努尔(Bunuel)做得更好一样 - 开始眼神滚动过程。

凯瑟琳Waterston-playing凯瑟琳的best-friend Virginia—is every bit the cold, calculated and reflexively caring performer she needs to be. But nothing really comes of their battle-tested best-friendship, or of Catherine’s struggles with her father’s untimely passing, not to mention the emotional distress Virginia struggled with the summer before (as the smartly used flashbacks hint). The details pile up with purpose–Catherine is on the brink of insanity, and so something must’ve driven her there–but are harped on for the viciousness of her fights with Virginia. This takes some of the gut-checking mystery out of the film’s psychology. Films are wonderful devices for the imagination—Furiosa’s missing arm in the new疯狂的麦克斯讲述您所希望的大或小故事,而没有太大的功能。但地球女王leaks many details, only to use them for a narrow narrative duty (a narrative duty, mind you, that barely passes #3 on the Bechdel测试)。

The “dumbest” part of Hitchcock’sPsycho当医生在电影结尾处五分钟的时间里描述了诺曼·贝茨(Norman Bates)状况的性质。它仍然很有趣,而且很有趣,但是流行心理学有意地摇摇欲坠 - 为需要它的人来说,这部电影是整洁的包装。地球女王就像这个场景的电影长度版本。闪回,苦难,心情,痛苦,战斗,这一切都与之和谐 - 一个非常好的电影制片人的印记 - 但是尾注并不会让您死了,冷酷无情。
