If you haven't seen a wasting disease in real life, you might think Restless is romantic. If you have, you might diagnose it as terminally cute.

As clearly calculated and self-consciously cutesy as it is, it's also tender and meaningful stuff -- and far more watchable than other recent attempts to capture the existential angst of adolescence. ("The Art of Getting By.")
Restless is far more precious than profound. But that takes little away from this soulful teenage exploration of love, life and death.
All of the performances are pitched correctly. Nobody pushes too hard. Nobody underlines anything. Perhaps calmed by Van Sant, the characters seem peaceful, not troubled (as they should be).
An emotionally rewarding experience: strong performances from leads Henry Hooper and Mia Wasikowska and a tender love story conveyed with genuine feeling.
Restless is a self-consciously quirky coming-of-age tale that's essentially a teenage hipster "Love Story."
Wasikowska, from "Alice in Wonderland" to "Jane Eyre," is an actress of translucent expressiveness. And Hopper has his father's brooding intensity and a quicksilver humor all his own. They are both so good, I suggest you dive into the story unfolding in their eyes rather than the banal one in the script.
If "Harold and Maude" hadn't already gotten there 40 years ago, this quirky but engaging trifle might seem refreshingly original.
Gus Van Sant directs his players just shy of mush; he's a filmmaker capable of brilliant dares (Milk, Paranoid Park) and shocking whiffs (Finding Forrester, the pointless remake of Psycho). This one's kind of in the middle.
The picture is so fluttering and tender, so guileless, that you almost can't believe it was made by an old hand like Van Sant. Then again, maybe you can.
其实与《廊桥遗梦》、《只是世界尽头》,都关于必然的节点,由此观众轻易体会动机的纯粹,人物承载惊人且动人的情绪容量。何况它依然有着许多小秘密,撩拨。
Gus Van Sant总是那么让我讨厌,却又停不下来。。。老霍普后继有人
加濑亮这个角色身上很多莫名其妙但是又非常吸引人的东西。
沒有人永遠擁有青春,但永遠有人在擁抱青春。有人在不斷的緬懷年華,留戀往事,有人在殘酷中成長,不捨中放手。不管是怪癖少年,還是悲情少女,終究要奔向另一個明天,陰暗的,或者,絢麗的。難得看到GusVanSant這麼簡單治愈的清新電影。
喜欢米娅,但是不喜欢这种故事。小清新?坑爹吧~
三星半,其实我还蛮喜欢这个调调的,所以说其实我内心是一枚小清新的女纸啊!丹尼斯太好看了,有了这样的男主再老套的剧情我都看得下去。特别是最后那一笑,哎,阿姨我的心都化了。Gus你要不要每次都能发掘美丽小男生啊!!
有过这样澄澈的恋爱,也许死亡并不是件可怕的事情,哪怕它发生在我们身边,我们自身,时时刻刻,无法安宁。PS男孩女孩,真的好可爱。
小弗朗哥和小格温妮丝帕特洛。。。。。。。。。。
我希望自己在死期将近之时也能像Annabel那样用微笑去面对 过好剩余的每分每秒 用心的和自己喜欢的人做喜欢的事 即便幸福转瞬即逝 也不去抱怨上帝的不公 不给旁人带去任何压力 最后安静的离开。"better late than never." 谢谢你出现在我生命最后的时间里。
“如今我发现死很容易,找到真爱却很难。当我的战机俯冲,我将看不见敌人到脸,我宁愿想象你的双眼,仿佛雨水冻结的黑石。当我们冲向目标,他们说要高喊万岁,我宁愿低语你的名字。无论生死,我永远都是你的人。” 格斯·范·桑特玩起文艺和清新来真要人命,男主你还能再像一点付兰兰吗?
只能说,Gus Van Sant 这部片,太豆瓣了!hedi是参与了选角嘛?这种dior男孩的感觉是怎么会事...
清新得想吐
一个带有缺憾和伤感的故事,讲述生与死,探讨青春的忧伤。对我来说,影片似乎有点清新的过了头,看的不是很投入。两位演员倒是挺给人惊喜的~
淡如白水,男主角太死板了
女孩好像凯特布兰切特。。。小清新。。。。
最大的梦想就是能够拥有爱情拥有幸福地死去。不过一切都是相对又相反的,如果你拥有了这一切你又何尝希望这来之不易的一切戛然而止?少年啊~这是你们绚烂易逝的梦吧!?小清新啊你们也想在最后的日子轰轰烈烈一番吧~ps最感动我的就是他们在墓园悠闲自在地骑车那场戏了配上粉红马汀尼的音乐浪漫啊!
【悸动的心】那些让人费解的剧情小细节也刚好是它迷人的地方,和这个残缺美的故事一起让人猜想。小清新范本式的配乐和剪辑,加上迷死人的翩翩美少年,格斯范桑特带来了一部年度老清新,有时候美中不足的“不足”恰是美的所在。★★★
真是受不了Gus啊,每个镜头每句台词每首配乐都直接戳中我全身的小清新神经!电影犹如一曲如此哀伤优美的青春小调,却又传达出直面死亡的乐观积极情绪。看片时泪目了好几次...
青春期的忧郁不安, 固执冲动, 还有那无可救药的痴情. Gus再一次将镜头对准到年轻人这个特殊的群体, 这次讲述了一个被死亡折磨过但又将其看得比生命本身更重要的男孩是如何通过爱得到原谅和救赎. 当今还有谁比Gus更善于指导这类题材? 谁又会想到丹尼斯•霍珀那个老叛逆居然会有个如此清新帅气的儿子!
真的没有男男好看
