Moving to Portland, Oregon and finding work in food service is easy for Paul and Ramona. A struggling musician without bandmates, Paul becomes introverted and moody. Ramona's friend from college introduces her to a new social circle and she goes out while Paul stays home. When Ramona confronts turning thirty, it's time to grow beyond old routines and her relationship with Paul comes to a head.
Paul and Ramona, a young couple in need of a change, move to Portland, Oregon from their hometown of Boise. Upon arriving, they sublet an apartment and begin to familiarize themselves with the city. While finding work is easy (Ramona begins waitressing, while Paul gets a job at a coffee shop), change is difficult. Their life in this new city seems to be on repeat. When their car breaks down and a tandem bicycle becomes their primary means of transportation, Ramona refuses to ride.
A struggling musician, Paul, spends most of his time at home, steadily becoming introverted and moody, while Ramona, at the insistence of a co-worker, is thrust into a new social circle, where she begins an affair with a co-worker. Ramona and Paul’s relationship implodes after she confesses and in the ensuing conflict, she impulsively leaves to stay with a friend. Paul, desperate to work through the pain of the split, befriends a quirky barista named Ali. This friendship gives him a chance to begin to heal and inspires him to focus on expression through his music.
当所有人都在谈论和解的时候，片中反复出现的“you're a cop killer everywhere you go”才是世间的真实吧/女主演技值得加一星
剧本太刻意了，在一众流水线作品中也算不上优质，评分明显过誉。
最后剧情出现了，当时开枪射杀警长是她年仅五岁的妹妹，她替她做牢二十年。
大冤+大爱，这是全人类共通的戏剧主题。很感人，桑德拉布洛克的表演很高级，把这份忍辱负重刻画得入木三分，谜底揭开的点也恰到好处，停止在姐妹相拥简直是太明智的选择，干净利落，余音绕梁。
整个情节确实是英剧的路子，结尾反转挺意外，但是感觉有点俗，呵呵，结尾也是英剧式的克制。能看得进去。不过现在看西式的普世价值观，总觉得有点虚伪，妹妹才五岁，其实没必要顶罪，对于孩子心理来讲顶不顶罪，没什么区别，她要不记得，不顶罪也没影响，她要记得，顶罪又有什么用，平白分离这么多年，不好意思，剧透了。
At first I thought it would talk about restorative justice vs punitive justice. As story unfolding it shows different social classes in America and how people from these classes think and act.

世间的真相有的时候真的是看你怎么interpret
一个已经完成服刑的杀人犯是不是就一定要面对这些，如果连故意杀人这一点都有可能是有问题的呢？兄弟俩的戏份有点莫名，不知道大哥怎么跟弟媳妇搞在一起，促使弟弟就破釜沉舟了。。。
看的很难受，是因为家庭的琐碎和艰辛，将近2/3才告诉观众是妹妹犯下的罪，片尾的闪回交代了小孩子的记忆很清晰，知道姐姐为她顶罪。姐姐出狱为了知道妹妹过的如何尝试了各种方法，本以为警长的儿子会冲动复仇，但是life will go on。
守护什么呢。
看了一半多了，看不下去了，一眼看到头的剧情。演员演技没的说，是因为东城梦魇火了也想来一波吗，但是拍的真的太无聊了。豆瓣分太虚高了。
真相大白前觉得不可理喻，觉得律师老婆和女主的对峙句句在理，真相大白后又是另一种不可理喻。
没人关心受害者及受害者家属，包括旁观者和施暴者。通常地，所有人的视角里没有受害者，没有受害者家属。
桑德拉好会挑剧本，演的真的很好，有人太挑剔了，我觉得特别好…这种感觉真的太难了
在枪口下救小姐姐那场戏，
演技把我征服了，叙事符合逻辑。一个无意的错误，两个家庭的破坏，谁错了？谁在苦？电影有很强的悲悯之情，余味在心。
苦情，不过是在亲情上。桑德拉演技是好的，心近如死灰，受尽屈辱和摧残，忍辱负重的样子还是很有说服力的。就是剧情本身的基点，如果当时不去顶罪，以妹妹的年龄根本无须承担多少责任，本来就是一个意外，隐姓埋名，带着妹妹远走他乡，陪伴和照顾她成长不是更好吗？
好棒！题材和演技都非常好。大家都有自己的桎梏，只有和自己和解，才能安心地活下去。
在社会认知愈发扁平化、标签化的当下，个体的阶级、过往往往代表了他人眼中的全部。我觉得原因既是阶级差异、也有信息时代对社会意识的重塑。She's unforgivable, because they won't. 一众卡斯虽然算不上大明星，但个个都是实力派。Sandra Bullock这绝对是影后级别的表演，开场一个眼神就写满了牢狱之灾与精神折磨的苦楚。
