Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.
催泪炸弹，用非常多的真实的细节填满了全部影片，情感密度很高很浓，几乎没人能抵住2h的催泪，一定都能找到自己感动的点。但硬币总有正反，为了维持这样高浓度的情感冲击，人物基本是脸谱化和刻板印象的，我几乎是只在火锅那里见到了出离意料之外的人物性格。所有提到的点都闭环了，但闭环过多，后期很容易疲乏，换人话就是哭累了。。。。
看之前就能想到是这样的模式化 但观众还是会感动 因为塑造了一个非常典型的中国母亲形象 我们任何人在荧幕上都能找到自己妈妈的影子 你很难不共情 但是我们荧幕上母亲的形象为什么永远只有付出和牺牲 我想要看到不同的一面 立体的一面 母亲不仅是母亲 她首先还是女性
母亲的角色是个典型的中国女性，为了家庭牺牲自己，甘当“扶弟魔”，岳母老年痴呆，丈夫懦弱胆小，女儿叛逆，生活的一切似乎都是那么不幸和难熬，她却嫁到这个家三十年，为了生孩子放弃了去南极科考的机会，为了家庭耽搁了癌症的发现和治疗。这个人物设定跟《我的姐姐》中的朱媛媛的角色太像了，人物弧光感人。
这就是典型的上一代父母 爱操心爱面子没有边界感 有时候很烦人 有时候却又狠狠刺穿我们不愿为人知的狼狈和不堪一面 有人觉得徐帆表演浮夸 那是真不知道体制内老太太当老师的样子
哭的稀里哗啦的，有很多共情的地方，但确实哭点太密了……明明知道是煽情但还是忍不住哭，可能就是用力过猛的地方吧
生硬且稀薄。即使用了〖妈妈〗这么宜煮宜食的材料，熬了2个钟头，米还是米，水还是水，不成粥样。
悬浮，刻意，套路，饺子那场和解戏挺好，但也是经典老镜了
据说是大部分翻拍自韩国片《世界上最美丽的离别》
一个很普通的故事，说的也很不出彩，我其实没报什么太大的希望，就觉得赌一把，万一电影还可以呢，好的结果我赌输了。
徐帆为什么演这种电影……这种家庭教育下也能养出当小三的女儿、、为了催泪而催泪，什么时候女性才能活出自我而不是绑定歌颂母爱
无论是题材还是表演，我都认为值得五分。普通人生活的酸甜苦辣，最难得就是安之若素。谁的生活都有些让人尴尬的一地鸡毛，但在得知自己不久于人世时还能够有条不紊地做好各种安排，让自己放心不下的人和事都能走上正轨，做好各种交待，然后平和面对该发生的一切。活着的时候努力爱着，死后便不留什么遗憾。总有人会记得你，在这个世界上流传。
全片从头到尾基本都在煽情，没有激烈的高潮和反转，属于细水长流型的催泪。故事有些场景过于真实，比如孩子在家无时无刻的玩手机，从荧幕上看简直令人窒息，值得反思，但有些又挺唐突的，比如女儿随意地考进了南极科考队。所以，好坏参半吧。
影片就像是一颗针，轻轻地扎了心上一下，却很疼。
作为观众猜到这题材后面肯定会卯着劲煽情，心里就会有了预估，还好影片处理得也算克制。
从导演到编剧再到表演（韩云云除外）以及其他各项技术，全部都不行，完全就是电视剧的套路，故事、表演、调度，全部都是。既然不是拍电影的料，建议就去好好拍电视剧吧，兴许还能拿个高分。｜4.0
我们真的太爱塑造这种付出牺牲的女性/母亲角色了，真的是，鞠躬尽瘁死而后已，仿佛女性只有这样，才能体现她的价值。
虽然很感人，但妈妈的牺牲和控制真的挺让人窒息的，开头灶台锅里的水溢了出来，丈夫都事不关己，弟弟的自私堕落，女儿的叛逆，婆婆的鸡飞狗跳，这些也是另一种折射，亲密关系里的牺牲和控制成正比，妈妈也不想的但是控制不住自己。大部分故事是妈妈如果不生病，夫妻关系、亲子关系、姐弟关系会因为牺牲带来的负面影响而继续破裂下去，妈妈清楚的知道，所以最后告诉在女儿问妈妈值不值得得时候，妈妈没有回答而是和女儿说：“这是我的选择，但是你不一样，妈妈希望你可以过自己想要的生活。”我想妈妈是后悔的吧。
虽然亲情 家庭 平凡的生活 安稳的归宿很美好，但是没有宝贵的我珍贵，中国的女人啊，宁可牺牲爱情和臂膀，也不要过成片中的“妻子”“母亲”“媳妇”，希望未来20年后这样的女人不会再存在
2.哭到忘记了里头有些完全不合理的感情转变，例如他那个弟弟过年回来吃个饺子就洗白了？
又是一个无私奉献型的妈妈，然后跟女儿和家里各种矛盾，最后呢因为生病去世，仿佛这些矛盾就突然不存在了。这就叫电影里的懒政。更不必说徐帆的演技和腔调了。
