Novelist Joseph Shearing specialized in using real cases which took place in Victorian England, altering them for fictional purposes. MOSS ROSE in 1947 was the first film to be made from his novels, then in 1948 two of his works were adapted for the screen, this film and THE MARK OF CAIN. The movie stars Todd as a recently widowed missionary returning to her home in England from Jamaica. During the voyage, she meets Milland, a charming though dangerous rascal who is wanted by police in connection with some unsavory dealings. Milland contracts malaria while onboard the ship and Todd nurses him back to health. In London, Todd settles into her home, taking in boarders to make ends meet. Milland arrives, moves in, and proclaims his love for her. Todd is thrilled, but it seems rather obvious that Milland is only toying with her. Milland finds some letters written to her by her friend, Fitzgerald, in which Fitzgerald reveals some of her sexual indiscretions. Since Fitzgerald is now married to the wealthy Huntley, Milland believes he can use the letters to blackmail Fitzgerald. Todd's love for Milland is so great that she goes along with the plan. Huntley, however, learns of the scheme and also uncovers details of Milland's shady past. Fearing for her lover's safety, Todd poisons Huntley, then remains silent when Fitzgerald is arrested for the murder. Milland has by now genuinely fallen in love with Todd and the two make plans to leave England. Before they can depart, one of Milland's former lovers shows up and Todd, in a jealous rage, kills Milland, then turns herself into the police.
This is an intriguing film, although a little on the talky side. The performances are excellent throughout, with Milland shining as the cad, the type of role in which he excelled. Though he spent most of his time making films in the US, he occasionally returned to his native England for a production and this was his first British film since FRENCH WITHOUT TEARS in 1939. Director Allen was also an Englishman who chose to work in the US, this being his first directorial effort in his homeland. This was the fourth and last time Milland and Allen would work together, their pairing having begun in 1944 with the wonderfully eerie THE UNINVITED.
别带太高期待，这是一部故事能讲圆，完成度还行，在一众求哭求爽求歌颂的轰炸中有点显眼有点另类的黑色小片罢了。
影片前半程的节奏、叙事和喜剧效果还是蛮不错的，然后逐渐泄气、拖沓，慢镜头太多审美疲劳。范伟老师最近作品超多啊，水准依旧！
最后感慨一下全民脱贫政策的伟大，希望这些苦命的孩子们能够逃离这类命运。
低于期待，还行但总差点意思。嵌入式反转全靠闪回显得重复拖沓，设定不巧妙转折略生硬，好几处完全是为了圆而圆，后来强行拐到小孩拐卖上面顺势打了亲情牌实在是有点偷懒。喜剧点不够，悬疑部分更别说了，不过选角确实还算可以。
3.5。如果这故事顺序讲就没太大意思了，这样讲就还挺不错~最大问题可能是有点跟不上时代。残疾小孩乞讨这个，感觉是好多年前的事，如今时代变了，手机支付时代，残疾小孩乞讨感觉没有了……要不把年代提前，送外卖的改成送快递~
罗生门史的剧情 ，不断闪回倒叙，黑色幽默式的悬疑，前半部铺垫的很有悬念，但是到末尾就有些不能圆回来的感觉，让观众跟着剧情破案的感觉很好，在窄小的空间拍出人性的深不可测，演员的表演也没有让人失望，不错
电影氛围好，观影氛围好，映后互动氛围好，导演意外很可爱诶。是部优秀的国产电影，上过北影节必然不会失望。对于这种一个小房间里拍完一部戏，还要有章有法张弛有度，很高难度。电影完成度很高，镜头语言也带感，局中局的剧本也很棒，演员棒。另外，希望珠珠和蔡鹭以后能接更大的角色。
没有电影大气上档次的feel，一股土味咋回事儿。。。。然后最后竟然是解救被拐卖卖去要饭的孩子。。。。
谁是好人谁是坏人，谁对谁错，谁生谁死，都在一念之间。多次反转，很精彩的片子。
6，处女作刻意标新，可惜既不惊艳也不工整。工业制作不错，点出贩卖儿童这个也不错，但几条线太碎了，直到最后都没很好地合在一起，而且也不好笑，窦骁很出戏。吐槽一下宁浩模式都快变成国内这些黑色喜剧的模版了，可惜没学对地方，好歹学个盖里奇的七十二变。
迷影情节也好，一些经典借鉴也罢，遗憾的是没什么出彩的惊喜，电影量多一点的基本上中间就能猜到一些结局，所以结尾的和谐也是要有心理准备
看了个解说被种草了这部片，但正片感觉还没解说好看，节奏和叙事有点奇怪，bgm也差点意思
小成本好片，各种反转，演技不差，人贩子太可恶了，社会上各种阴暗故事点到为止。
商业类型十足，悬念感、戏剧性、喜剧性兼具，但徒有形式罢了。
5.5。没有一件事情讲得通，我是造了什么孽浪费时间来看你们扯这么多烂犊子？
張頌文說話太性感了救命，他一開口全世界我不在乎別的了
分数这么低？这还不好看吗各位？？窦骁演的太精彩了！
完成度不错的黑色喜剧，故事不复杂，导演在叙事方法上下了大功夫。感谢盗梦观影！@橙天Luone
整部剧有一种剧本很老的感，起码是十年前的立项，不管从剧本的社会题材，（怎么2021年了还有人在拍贩卖儿童1.0版），还是从整个剧本的容量，剧本容量说实话放到剧本杀市场都得标个大大的新手本，15分钟就能讲清楚的故事。很多电影的故事都能15分钟拍清楚，但问题你这部片就是一个强情节叙事推动的，每一个反转后都在拖沓的对话，消解反转带来的惊讶。后面直线拉垮，最后起码几个翻都没翻起来，还挺可惜的。我感觉整体画面尺度很大，但是选材到处理极端保守，就有一种更割裂的感觉。
没什么太大意思，故事靠巧合推动。节奏看起来快，但实际上无意义的废剧情废台词挺多。表演也就那样，前期故弄玄虚的地方挺多，最后感觉就是不过尔尔。
