故事简介：
潘西困于生活泥沼之中，内心恶魔驱使其怒焰燃向周遭。家人在他尖刻言辞下瑟缩，家庭氛围紧绷似弦。与之对照，姐姐尚特尔以美发沙龙为港湾，编织温暖人际网，用耐心宽容回应潘西的暴怒。
观者吐槽中：
本片的观看是需要一点心理抗压能力的，它大胆且深刻地探讨了精神健康、家庭纠葛以及幸福追寻等关键议题。主角潘西，这位深陷愤怒漩涡的中年女性，成为影片剖析这些主题的核心。她对周围人的尖刻与愤怒，看似毫无缘由，实则源自内心深处难以排解的痛苦。她的丈夫和儿子在她的情绪暴力下，生活充满压抑，这不仅展现了家庭关系中可能出现的病态模式，也让观者思考长期处于这种环境下对家庭成员心理健康的影响。。。。例如，影片中潘西的丈夫默默承受她的怒火，儿子整天无所事事，这些都是潘西行为带来的后果，反映出家庭关系在精神健康问题冲击下的扭曲。要1个半小时有余处于如此絮絮叨叨、负面情绪的压抑氛围，还是需要有一些心理抗压能力哒！
在叙事风格上，迈克·李展现出大师级的水准。他摒弃了复杂的情节架构和刻意的戏剧冲突，选择从日常生活的点滴入手，以细腻且真实的笔触描绘潘西的生活。影片中，潘西与家人的日常争吵、去超市购物时与他人的冲突等场景，看似平凡琐碎，却生动地展现出她的性格特点和内心世界。这种叙事方式让观者仿佛置身于角色的生活之中，真切地感受到他们的喜怒哀乐。而且，影片的节奏把握精准，在潘西的愤怒爆发与内心脆弱展现之间，切换自然流畅。比如，前一刻潘西还在对家人大声呵斥，下一刻可能就陷入孤独的沉思，这种节奏变化让观者深刻体会到她情绪的复杂性和不可预测性。
玛丽安娜·琼 - 巴普蒂斯特饰演的潘西堪称一绝，她将潘西的愤怒、脆弱、敏感等多重性格特点演绎得入木三分。在与家人争吵的场景中，她的眼神、表情和肢体语言都充满了愤怒的力量，让观者感受到她情绪的强烈冲击；而在一些独处的时刻，她微微颤抖的双手、落寞的眼神，又将潘西内心的脆弱毫无保留地展现出来。
言而总之， 本片的观影过程并非十分愉悦的经历，对于那些关注家庭关系、精神健康议题，以及追求真实、细腻电影风格的人来说，这部影片无疑是一次难得的观影体验。它能让观者在他人的故事中，看到自己生活的影子，引发对家庭、幸福和人性的深刻思考。
#ICA#LFF 伯格曼式的家庭伦理片，电影中对于情感的描绘实在是细腻，整体角色表现的状态也是真实的可怕，除了有几个角色是废笔，但也能利用所有角色勾勒出一幅完整的群像画。内容感觉依然是不幸的人用一生治愈童年。
角色上，女主的状态以我的理解是…从小被母亲冷落忽视所以失去爱人的能力，由于是单亲家庭所以也无法获得额外的爱。母亲孤零零的死亡是她发现的，从而又给她留下了巨大的阴影（不知道不开窗户是否跟此事有关），经常会噩梦缠身，丈夫并不理解她，她好像也没有很深的感情，更多的是为了让自己“不落单”，两个人也不怎么沟通，这种不够用的状态让两个人的隔阂变得更大，孩子无法从双方那里得到爱，整体状态也越发自闭且暴食。
电影中有两幕很有意思，就是女主的姐姐问女主的丈夫他家人的情况，这里就可以理解他们之间的沟通是多么的少…甚至女主回家还在埋怨男主为什么当时不回答，感觉她也不知道似的…而对于他没有回答我也似乎有个猜想，就是他父母可能健在，但是为了不想刺激女主所以避而不答。另一幕的是儿子买了花回家，女主花了莫大的力气把花插到了花瓶里，而丈夫却在女主上楼后把花扔了，我感觉那不是发泄情绪，而也是帮助女主的一种做法，
视觉上，大多是固定镜头和缓慢地摇镜头，要镜头开场与结尾呼应，对话期间正反打剪辑很好，而且特写脸部的景别让对话更具压迫感。
听觉上，可能这部分不太满意，感觉配乐的占比还挺高的，总觉得演员已经把角色诠释的如此之好了，留下给演员更多的空间可能会更好一些。
看完之后有一种我高中那几年每年过年的窒息感，强迫症且神经紧张的母亲，不善言辞的父亲和一个小心翼翼生活的我，当年的我也是住校，不愿意回家，感觉整体的压力非常大，会被批评不够干净，学习成绩和性格不好等。我记得当年第一次网购就被我妈组织了10几次，说我只要下单，我的所有信息都会被泄漏，然后会有诈骗电话什么的，虽然我当年心里一直在责怪我家人，但随着年纪的变化可能整体的也已经有了明显的改变，生活毕竟不容易。
