Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
　　Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
　　As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
　　The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
　　Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.

难以置信的事实电影网友评论：

我杯茶的rom-com。美少女亚德里涅不论，罗伯特伯克也魅力破表：你是牧师？不，我是机修工。鹰隼式面庞，禁欲的黑服，销魂的颧骨和鼻梁线条和灰眼睛，空房间小床垫六听啤酒，梦一般的小镇男神啊。

3.5。TheUnbelievableCutie!無傷大雅的荒謬，一起望向未知的藍天。(男主角長得超級像TerenceStamp郵票.....常常被問你是不是神父，不嫌煩嗎?Orz)

在人类历史即将终结的1989年，神父般的杀人犯机械工出仓回老家，遇上爱读书的厌世少女。不可思议的真相，是远方那场若有若无的灭世爆炸

完成度很好。由表及里似乎有很多矛盾的设置，但是捏合在一起又很协调。作为处女作，有成型的美国独立电影美学，一种类似薄荷糖的质感

带点漫不经心的小幽默，基本都出自男性配角（岳父、前男友、车房胖子），主线故事有点俗套

能给《时时刻刻》最后那段台词当个注脚。

两星半前半部分挺闷得。。后半拉还凑合

这种电影也叫诗意，强烈推荐

一部只有色调能吸引我的电影

真的没讲什么但是太特别了。
