Leslie is a West Texas single mother struggling to provide for her son when she wins the lottery and a chance at a good life. But a few short years later the money is gone and Leslie is on her own, living hard and fast at the bottom of a bottle as she runs from the world of heartbreak she left behind. With her charm running out and with nowhere to go, Leslie returns home. Unwelcome and unwanted by those she wronged, it’s Sweeney, a lonely motel clerk, who takes a chance when no one else will. With his support, Leslie comes face to face with the consequences of her actions, a life of regret, and a second chance to make a good life for her and her son.
从“失去的周末”以来，不值得可怜的白男白女酗酒，摇摇欲坠再挣扎向上，结尾敞开拥抱一刻的豁达，这故事太多了。推特背书的表演，这来年要考的，Andrea的状态大开大合很颁奖季标准，酒吧一场戏最好，破碎的眼里望进去她还是美丽的
并非刻板印象，但Andrea Riseborough仿佛天生能为这样深刻而又挣扎故事而生；就像Aubrey Plaza、Rebecca Hall这些并没有足够奖项加身（抑或广泛肯定）却持续在“圣西翠”保持活跃的这一挂，大家的有趣从来不在于呈现了多么惊人（行货水准）的演绎，而在于拥有的“影视人格”这次又进入了怎样一个角色。打破了成瘾式故事容易流俗的“救赎/振作”主题，而转为更为深刻的探视；角色的精神...

1006 Ray Stark Family Theatre. 女主角的代入感极强。最后虽然烂俗，但我还是哭了一哭。不敢相信这是90天在疫情期间拍出来的。前期最大工作在于找洛杉矶没有棕榈树的旅馆哈哈，后期则是抓光线——美学的确做得不错。或许是因为隔离原因，必须在加州拍摄，很难还原出德州的粗犷，最后味道还是欠缺了一点。导演：“Shes a powerful woman without power.”
一杯酒的价格是7美刀，而清洁工作一小时的工钱也是7美刀，她在沉沦酗酒与清醒生活的边界线上只要一念之差就会功亏一篑。主角非常难代入，但到最后电影院里有不少人在擦眼泪，说明人物塑造很成功，共情能够建立起来。我个人的体验更像一种另类的“悬疑”电影：她到底是怎么挥霍完19万美金的？她到底会忍不住喝下那杯酒还是不会？最开始觉得男主像单向付出的爸爸，结果后来意识到他们是相互救赎的一对，他还爱过另一个酗酒的女人...
