Novelist Joseph Shearing specialized in using real cases which took place in Victorian England, altering them for fictional purposes. MOSS ROSE in 1947 was the first film to be made from his novels, then in 1948 two of his works were adapted for the screen, this film and THE MARK OF CAIN. The movie stars Todd as a recently widowed missionary returning to her home in England from Jamaica. During the voyage, she meets Milland, a charming though dangerous rascal who is wanted by police in connection with some unsavory dealings. Milland contracts malaria while onboard the ship and Todd nurses him back to health. In London, Todd settles into her home, taking in boarders to make ends meet. Milland arrives, moves in, and proclaims his love for her. Todd is thrilled, but it seems rather obvious that Milland is only toying with her. Milland finds some letters written to her by her friend, Fitzgerald, in which Fitzgerald reveals some of her sexual indiscretions. Since Fitzgerald is now married to the wealthy Huntley, Milland believes he can use the letters to blackmail Fitzgerald. Todd's love for Milland is so great that she goes along with the plan. Huntley, however, learns of the scheme and also uncovers details of Milland's shady past. Fearing for her lover's safety, Todd poisons Huntley, then remains silent when Fitzgerald is arrested for the murder. Milland has by now genuinely fallen in love with Todd and the two make plans to leave England. Before they can depart, one of Milland's former lovers shows up and Todd, in a jealous rage, kills Milland, then turns herself into the police.
This is an intriguing film, although a little on the talky side. The performances are excellent throughout, with Milland shining as the cad, the type of role in which he excelled. Though he spent most of his time making films in the US, he occasionally returned to his native England for a production and this was his first British film since FRENCH WITHOUT TEARS in 1939. Director Allen was also an Englishman who chose to work in the US, this being his first directorial effort in his homeland. This was the fourth and last time Milland and Allen would work together, their pairing having begun in 1944 with the wonderfully eerie THE UNINVITED.
隐去男性的“作案”过程而专注于女孩怀孕后十二周之内的心理状态，导演的克制压制了三场戏的痛楚，就像她的哭声和痛苦嘶喊也被那个时代遏制住了喉咙，白描写实的长镜头拉长她与每个人相处的细节，看她怀孕想和她来一发也没事儿的男同学，避之不及害怕违法的室友，偷尝禁果多次但运气好没怀孕的朋友……为什么遭受身体爱欲磨难之苦的总是女性？我们从未拥有过自由支配身体的权力，法国60年代用法律锁住女孩的子宫，我们现在用实打实的铁链锁住，最富庶之地的县城竟成了一块铁桶，你们都有罪，可笑的是，那女孩却用身体一个接一个生孩子，替你们受罚。
优缺点都很明显，无可置疑的是，在疫情时代的确很容易被如此匠气的鸡汤倾向给鼓舞到；象征性元素塞得较满——幽蓝客厅照进阳光，蛇，雨，以及关于主旨「瀑布」的点题与结尾急转弯式的闭合，都显得过于工整而失之趣味，甚至有命题作文之味。
还是法国电影更能让人沉浸，踏踏实实地讲故事，不贩卖焦虑，只是呈现，思考留给观众自己。
《正发生》，片名特别好。
”一种只会攻击女人的病，会让她们沦为家庭主妇“
女主和配乐是亮点，别的也就那样吧，能拍的差不多也都被拍过了
拍的真好，使人身临其境的镜头语言，完全感受到了身体和心理的巨大痛苦，太难受了。女主很有眼缘，镜头里有天然的魅力。
可以不要问我“你还好吗？” 我们一起好好地走下去/最后的落水看得我要心梗了！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！2022看的第二部好片
“总有一天我会要个孩子的，但不是以我整个人生为代价，那样的话我会恨那个孩子一辈子的，我可能永远都不会爱他" 看的一身冷汗，这是一种沉浸式的、彻头彻尾撕心裂肺的疼痛，最后一刻我仿佛也跟着女主角一起晕了过去，但最可怕的是这也许也是我们的未来，所以这样的片子很重要，很重要
其实你对身体和自由一无所知
雌性是被上帝钦点的第二性，是背负苦难和责任的群体。如果科技改变不了这一点，人人平等就是最明显的笑话。
又像在全程围观
结合现实，名字更讽刺了。但不明白女主为什么做不到剪断脐带。如果女人不能掌握子宫的使用权，那只能说，希望消灭性、消灭性别、人造子宫。
几乎是华语到目前最有代表性的疫情电影，又与中产家庭的疏离关系联系起来，既是特殊性又是普遍性，很能让人产生共鸣。日常的恐怖化，加上大量缓慢推拉镜头和特殊的构图，应该偷师不少黑泽清。不过仍然是很差的杨德昌模仿者，虽有文学性，但对话时而过于矫情做作；剧作算圆但太简单，不再有杨那样复杂和精密叙事的野心，也就少了对台湾当代社会鞭辟入里的理解。至于最后洪水的来临，与其说是一个有某种必然性的突发新闻，不如说是一个编排潦草、为瀑布而瀑布的可笑事件。
队伍继续着 他们的路程
理解豆瓣这个拳台为什么给高分，但作为一部电影，真的很不怎么样。
要获得对身体的掌控权和绝对不止一种的人生选择。
特定时代、特定制度下的一段堕胎史，对比《四月三周两天》，同样呈现了堕胎过程中的女性痛感，只不过少了体制性的批判，多了一些纯女性主义的关怀。
8.5/10
尺度不是一般的大，也很真实，可能有些人会有不适，但c‘est la vie。原本最多四星推荐，但想想今天当下的美国也许“正发生”这一切，特别应景，五星推荐给男人们看，照顾好女人们。
