This was the first of the videos that started a trend of sex education videos in the early 1990s . I guess the idea behind it was for liberated women to go into a high street store and buy it without any type of guilt or inhibition , but no doubt the main buyer market was teenage boys and dirty old men
THE LOVERS GUIDE is groundbreaking in the fact that it publicised that the couples involved were real life partners but this is slightly dishonest , yes the main couple featured Wendy and her husband were indeed a real life couple who'd been married several years but there was some public controversy that at least one of the couples Kathryn ( The gorgeous brunette ) and Marino ( The well buffed geezer with a ponytail ) had never met one another until they appeared on set where they had unprotected sex for the camera . For a video that self righteously dedicates segments to safe sex it is rather hypocritical
Seeing as it's for education purposes and not pornography as such there's limits as to what can be shown but as a sex education video it's not uninformative though I doubt if you'll be gasping " I never knew that "
As a footnote the main couple featured became something of sexual problem agony aunts in the British press - Until it was revealed that Wendy's husband had a serious heart condition which put a stop to sex . I almost felt sorry for this couple who confessed that they used to make love as often as ten times a day but now couldn't make love once a day because it was too dangerous . My small amount of sympathy soon vanished when shortly afterwards the couple split up and raced off to the gutter press in order to dish the dirt on one another to the highest bidder .
观影时，你需要熬过前面的剧情铺垫部分。
这片子剧本感这么强都能演得这么沉浸
I don't like the way it ends.
7/10 老吉独角戏，全程飙演技。看完查卡司才发现有这么多大牌献声，真是厉害。
这片子可真省钱啊，是不是大部分预算都是吉伦哈尔的片酬……
吉伦哈尔的表演课。
吉伦哈尔的演技真的厉害，但是剧情上的单调是不足以用演技去弥补的。
男主角脑子有病，报警女是个疯子，听的我想打人
作为一个人的独角戏，本片其实不太值得去影院，更适合Netflix上观看。故事就发生在几米的距离里，全程只见男主一个人对着电话冲不同的人喊了1个多小时。不过影片也再次展示了杰克·吉伦哈尔过硬的演技，一个人撑起整部影片，就算一直只盯着他的脸居然也不会烦。老吉的表演紧紧抓住观众神经，让观众只能从他的叙述中知道破碎的信息，跟他一样因为无法了解真相而如坐针毡。不过他出演的警员确实太不适合担任911接线员工作了。
看的人太焦躁了，总觉得没这位热心民警搅合，情况反而能好点…… 这个剧本确实太赞，准备看看原版的表演去，Jake的表演属太用力了，之前几场戏大概耗尽了，到最后那段卫生间坦白，是那种哭却挤不出眼泪的表演，舞台剧没问题，可电影特写面部就看着出戏了，不是很站因为难度大就夸他的，反而应该大夸特夸的是那几位电话背后的演员，只用声音就抓住人心，特别Jake他大姐夫萨斯加德，本身就特别喜欢他那种带着一种温柔软弱特质的声音，辨识度特别高，之前他演的戏就都特喜欢听他的念白声音，这次就很过瘾，听到他声音就感受到全部的绝望了（因此从开始我就想到反转了……
一個半調子的PTSD警察遇到心理有問題的娘們，扮演上帝還不明情況瞎指揮的鳥事。心理有問題真的就別上班了真的！
Jake Gyllenhaal演技在线，几乎独角戏，撑起了这个难看（很难看下去）的故事。反转不新鲜，但重要的两处都是对的，一个是让男主垮掉，一个则是让男主重新燃起希望从而正视自己的错误。另外两处反转的成立都建立于偏见挺有意思
Jake Gyllenhaal 的演技巅峰了
Broken people save broken people.
6.2分，主要还是依靠于吉伦哈尔的演技。剧作以及视听呈现方式在原作时就已经惊艳过了，难免疲劳。
这部电影的感受我说不上来，根据丹麦版翻拍，观影过程中很紧张、刺激，杰克•吉伦哈尔出演了一位焦虑、暴躁的911接线员，剧情大部分与原版如出一辙。
还算有意思的惊悚小品，上一次看Gyllenhaal演惊悚电影还是the prisoner，很高级的摄影和剪辑。此片是独幕独角戏，摄影就全剩下近景和特写，Jake的表演虽然撑得起这种拍摄方法不过也略显吃力，紧张的氛围渲染地不错。
一张桌子一个人一小时一场戏，只能通过电话那头的信息抽丝剥茧地制造悬疑推理案件，这份匠心独具该归功于本片翻拍的 2018 年丹麦原作。跟《无间道》当时的操作一样，美版改编风格更急促，主角新增了哮喘、PTSD 等极端症状以及歇斯底里的嘶吼来强调情绪气氛之焦虑紧张，本作无疑较原作镜头风格更两极分化。短板在于男主个人支线剧情的节奏插入得很怪，越往后台本造作感说教感也越重，全靠吉伦哈尔的演技撑完整场。在才能有限的剧本范围内，这个全美国我最喜欢的男演员又一次超常发挥了。
6.6分。翻拍2018丹麦版的，基本还原了。比不了原版，但杰克的演技还是过关的。抛开电影本身不讲，我真的是厌烦了基督教这群白狗，整天救赎这救赎那的，自己罪孽深了开始反思忏悔了？呵呵。
老吉一人撑起了一部戏，但是故事其实有点无聊，broken people save broken people？赎罪么？
