Working in a BPO he has found out a sure-shot way to his promotion - the key to his uncle's apartment where he is the house sitter. His colleagues and superiors use the apartment for their sexual escapades and return the favour to Rahul by offering him job incentives and promotions. Rahul loves his colleague Neha, but he's shocked to find out that she is in love with their boss Ranjeet who is a married man and on top of it they use Rahul's apartment for the purpose of their secret dalliance. On the other hand, Ranjeet's married life with Shikha is on the verge of collapse. Unaware of her husband's infidelity, Shikha finds solace in he company of an aspiring actor Akash and their friendship threatens to blossom into a full-fledged affair which might shatter the foundation of Shikha's married life. Meanwhile, Shikha's younger sister Shruti is searching for a suitable groom for herself through marriage portals, and it's then that she meets Monty. She harbours an instant dislike for him but may find out in the course of time that opposites attract, after all. Then there is the story of Shikha's old dance teacher Vaijayanti who is widowed and lives in an old age home and her former love Amol who rekindle their romance in the twilight of their lives, against all odds. The turmoil these relationships go through force these people to make some life-altering decisions.
视听技法纯熟，视觉效果炸裂，音乐复古，可惜电影院看不到
60s复古服装，60s复古音乐，60s复古舞和60s复古女郎
好久没有看过风格这么明显的电影了，电影中独特的风格是一种品牌性的，观众会不由自主的理解，并且成为创作者的一部分。我好喜欢这种风格电影中女孩的性格和电影的风格融合，总之这部电影透露着一种从内而外的协调感和完整性。
同样是开头伴随的，还有从始至终的对男性的讽刺（挺狠的），将女性当作工具，言语的践踏和行为的侵犯，都交织在一起汇聚为影片主题表达的重要元素：女性处境与女性觉醒
其实前半部分还行，就是后面导演完全控制不住剧情节奏和走向了，遁入深渊
埃德加赖特没有让人失望。前半段精妙绝伦的镜像轮转、场景调度、摄影运镜极尽丝滑，各种怀旧金曲搭配双女主不同场景/角度的凝视/对望/附着引发强烈情感共振。就是看着女主吻黑人小哥让我吐了，这就叫专业吧……
The Demon「Taylor」of Goodge Place.致敬铅黄美学的视听手法和恋物美学，亲手用复古迷影的利刃撕开无名诸父的咽喉，点燃类型幻想的业火符号让渴望救赎的凶犯亡灵解脱无路。两位有着近似鬼魅气质和灵动演技的演员化作镜像双姝，都市梦的覆灭也是对称手掌伤痕，穿越60年代和今日罪恶繁华的霓虹雾影之中。天真无邪的女孩迷信downtown许诺的自由神话提供平等阶梯作为一种宗教信仰，看不穿金钱物欲主导的Soho区，世上万千监牢的其中一处，是如何以具象的一座老屋，终生疯魔堵死那个曾经鲜活的金发女郎——当她还年轻，将永远被物化的标签衡量。无尽梦魇长廊，她附身她者又被动旁观，抽象表现的父权幽灵压迫无论在世死去经历千遍凝视与剥削谋杀的女人姓名，污名原罪和尾随窥视涂抹在当下的猎物身躯，永无休止。
后翼弃兵 安雅，Puppet on a String，提线布偶的女性，展现诱惑的身体。
60s狂喜 Edgar Wright专注于将电影变成自己的游乐场 地狱下的男人不需要被超度
一个灵媒收到房子里鬼魂的求救，却误把凶手当作受害者，最后感化凶手并将其加入自己的通灵库的故事。
对那群男人的刻画真的是，男人们可能不适合看这个片子，对他们不太友好，哦不，是太不友好。
从主题（inspiration、mental illness与spirituality、historical burden的缠杂关系）到声画（赖特的强项）、角色都很精彩，尤其前一个小时。但情节上又是“开头结尾有了画面，发展部分没想清楚于是硬来”，vision的过度反真实处理导致观众中途抽离，是这种没想清楚的症状之一。当然，这种硬来与“uncanny导致抽离”也是1970年代恐怖电影的特征之一，或许可以当作赖特致敬的表现吧——至少比温子仁的手法高超多了。总之，2020年拍出这个水平，值得推荐。
No word for this kind of dumbness 拿着大女主的剧本又有天赋还能通灵，刚来伦敦就能付压二付二的房租，搞这么蠢的事情… 拍得倒是花里胡哨；多减一星为这恐男的三观（颜色很好看好像世纪初的电影
总之，是半部好电影，前面的学生、舞女、观众，三层视角运用的太妙了，就是我们在做梦梦里面第一视角和第三视角并存的完美呈现。但到后来，就开始套路了，导演也忘了开始他要讲什么了，全乱了全废了。
很校园青春的走向，悬疑部分拿捏的恰到好处，现实与梦境似乎可以更深层的探讨一下。
火场里抱紧Sandie好温暖，最终获得了救赎吧这是。镜子舞蹈那段不错。
3.5 借当代小镇青年的都市vintage怀旧乡愁的壳讲了一个男性视角下的女性题材故事，意思就是复古和女性主义都没有处理好，导致了前半段和后半段叙事的割裂，不论是60s的SOHO/男性凝视/女性互助/小镇和城市的互动都显得十分悬置，尤其是最后的和解和男性忏悔，不还是以男性气质去形容女性吗……不过伦敦处处有鬼魂还是很有意思
女主好傻X，还害得老警察被车撞，看得人神烦，这片子也就看看颜了
呈现效果本可以更好的，剧情转折开始就变得混乱了
题材很新颖，和《偷窥者》一样猜不到结局，被编剧带着走，非常有趣。
