The Freebie centers on Darren (Shepard) and Annie (Aselton), a young married couple with an enviable relationship built on love trust and communication. Darren and Annie still enjoy each other’s company and laugh at each other’s jokes, but, unfortunately, they can’t remember the last time they had sex. When a dinner party conversation leads to an honest discussion about the state of their love life, and when a sexy bikini photo shoot leads to crossword puzzles instead of sex, they begin to flirt with a way to spice things up. The deal: one night of freedom, no strings attached, no questions asked. Could a freebie be the cure for their ailing sex life? And will they go through with it? With a keen eye and fresh take, Aselton’s directorial debut shines with crisp storytelling and fine-tuned performances. THE Freebie is an insightful and humorous look at love, sustaining relationships , and the awkwardness of monogamy when the haze of lust has faded.
PS:华金在小丑爆红后，接的竟是这样一部温柔的作品，他真是个有想法的演员，或者因为有了孩子才选择的这个题材？
哇，好棒，被一个九岁孩子上了一课，黑白画面能让人更沉浸在故事里
Could be an urban prose, a nostalgic tale, a coming-of-age story, or mostly a sincere record of the intangible/invisible around our lives. 走走停停，兜兜转转，c’mon c’mon是向前看时候的一次深呼吸。
话太密了 孩子总有一个阶段如此招人讨厌又自以为是 但又真挚纯真
成朋友的眼光中看向自己，成为自己，找回自己
Those maternal parts get me so easily
我感到最绝的部分是小儿子说“我听说过她的那些男朋友，她总是陷入麻烦，她以前还流产过”“我该怎么回答这个？我都是第一次听说”过于真实了。身为这一个家庭的儿子，不知母亲为何偏爱自己，不知姐姐和母亲为何感情微妙，和前女友难以复合，甚至不知道姐姐流产的过去。男性世界和女性世界如此隔绝，怪不得男性的缪斯是女人，女人不存在缪斯。
华金带孩子反倒成了背景，对其他孩子的采访才是成人应该重视和面对的
华金的声音让这部电影很温柔，小男孩也很可爱很灵，灰色的城市画面和镜头让我总是不自觉的走神。知道是好片但爱不起来系列。
温柔向的人文关怀，借青少年之口述说未来，絮絮叨叨，全看个人喜好了。
整部电影有种奇怪的暧昧感，如果换成小男孩，是不是有点《洛丽塔》的感觉呢？
“记住了吗？一定要寻找自己。”
孩童时代是纯粹且通透的，而成人世界是复杂且充满谎言的。
情绪的不断变化，脆弱敏感又如此吸引人，可以一直一直拍下去。
杰昆真的是治愈系演员，感觉他很喜欢这一类性格的边缘化角色，有着感性温柔的内心，有着自己的脆弱，just trying to understand others , like all of us.常常会忍不住和他的角色产生共鸣，觉得那简直就是自己。
全方位舒适的一部电影。和华叔上一部电影截然不同。应该是我2021的最佳电影了。太喜欢了，是一部有分寸，模糊，细腻的片子。
过了一周左右他提起这个电影说是看完有种活着真不错的感觉
“Let me ask you a question. Why does everything have to be like this kind of weird, eccentric thing that you do” “cause I like it” “but why not just do something normal” “what’s normal” “ok, fine, good point.” 这段对白简直就是A24风格的最好诠释，又怪又吸引人。
“记住了吗？一定要寻找自己。”
