Last at the Festival with 2017’s rural noir Dark River, a selection in the Platform programme, writer-director Clio Barnard returns to the Bradford, West Yorkshire setting of her earlier films for this tumultuous, fiercely affecting midlife love story.
A bundle of good humour and nervous energy, Ali (Adeel Akhtar) is a British Pakistani working-class landlord who forges close bonds with his tenants. One day, while picking up one of his tenants’ children from school, he offers a lift to Ava (Claire Rushbrook), an Irish-born teacher and single mother of five. They bond almost instantly through their love of music, though Ali favours the high energy of Buzzcocks and hip-hop while Ava takes refuge in the quieter comforts of Bob Dylan and Karen Dalton. Despite their divergent backgrounds, differences in their stages of life, and the colour of their skin, despite the fact of Ali’s failing marriage and Ava’s fraught relationship with her adult and adolescent children, each finds themself irresistibly drawn to the other. But can their mutual desire transcend a barrage of personal obstacles?
Inspired by people Barnard encountered while making her acclaimed features The Arbor and The Selfish Giant, Ali & Ava is a film that feels profoundly rooted in lived experience, blending a tender emotional complexity with an at times bracing depiction of trauma and grief. Akhtar and Rushbrook’s finely hued performances speak to the setting’s cultural diversity and tribal loyalties while yielding a vulnerability that’s alternately heart-wrenching and joyous. Their story serves as a reminder that it is sometimes the least likely connections that are the ones most worth pursuing.
居然觉得比《神秘海域》还要好看些，至少笑点很有趣，钱宁傻白甜的肉脚形象相当不错，皮特出来打了个酱油，我居然对着那张沧桑的络腮胡看了半天认不出来！另外，这不是艾伦期待的丛林寻宝片，而是洛蕾塔笔下的爱情冒险小说。
Loved it - worth a really fun romp. Just the right amount of intended cheesiness. Bullock and Tatum work well in this one together. Pitt's character is especially fun to watch.
基本上就皮特那段不错，其余都啥，布洛克钱老板咋能搭一块，咋想的？
桑德拉布洛克这姐已经58了，震撼了，不得不Respect。
考古冒险爱情浪漫片。
PS：本片能让人唯一记住的高光时刻，应该就是布拉特·皮特所出场的这段时间内，虽然最后的彩蛋又是极其的鬼扯。
搞笑冒险
布洛克快60了，体态还是没的说，不过整的和以前不大像了啊。全片快两小时了，压根没在意到底是如何探险的，110分钟左右的时间里的主题就是一伙人的插科打诨。
爱情动作喜剧电影嘛，别要求那么多。亮片Jumpsuit的弹性也太好了。
冒险的外壳，喜剧的内核，作为爆米花娱乐片算合格了，吐槽一下，就不能给皮特多几分钟客串时间?!
看过这个片就更深刻的体会到当年木乃伊有多经典。
本来对《迷失之城》还是挺期待的，因为就如同朱迪福斯特的那部《尼姆岛》一般，讲述一个冒险题材小说家的真实冒险故事，这种反差是宅文化的一个鲜明标志，本来可以玩很多花样，再加上桑德拉布洛克虽然颜值有限，但跟瑞茜威瑟斯彭一样极具头脑与眼光，也同时让自身的职业野心变成一个完全的褒义词，但可惜这回桑大姐是看走眼了，这部美国网大实在是烂俗桥段的组合，就算是在中国视频门户网站率先上线，估计也会被骂惨，或者直接无视，这也说明了明星与资本，还有大数据，在真正独特的创意面前，可能会陷入一文不值的下场。
就搞笑了十几二十分钟…然后就是无聊无聊无聊
除了PP戏，没什么亮点，查宁塔图姆演技好尬。
都是喜欢的演员，所以宽容度比较高。影片制作还是有些粗糙的，笑点也有，故事也算是一个女性角度比较完整的故事。
依然好莱坞式流水线作品，不仅是设定、剧情流水线，连虎头蛇尾的结果都一摸一样了。编剧似乎只收了一半钱，前半段因为皮特出现特别精彩，后半段也因为皮特下线显得十分乏味。《赌神》的BGM一响倒是让我精神了一下，仅此而已。两星半。
从剧情上来说，本片也是属于绝对够扯淡，洛雷塔被莫名其妙的绑架（谁会绑架一个娱乐书籍作家去解读古代文字，就算其先生以前是考古学家），而洛雷塔每部小说的封面男主，艾伦竟然去英雄救美，后面一系列的事情，只能说是毫无逻辑，毫无根据，随便鬼扯了……
就是下班想放松下...前面还好，有皮特的戏份比较好玩，中间开始越来越无聊。。。勉强看完
要不是皮特太贵了，就应该让皮特和塔图姆在吊床上睡觉
