James Benning’s first film called The United States of America was a 1975 trip across the country, capturing its scenery through a car windshield. This second one also crisscrosses the nation, but without a car, carving it up instead into a series of static shots of just under two minutes, one for each state, presented alphabetically, from Heron Bay, Alabama to Kelly, Wyoming. The names of the places are nondescript, but the images attached to them are anything but, immaculately composed shots of landscape, cityscape and the spaces in between. As we move from A to Z, the images coalesce into a portrait of today’s USA, tracing out its fault lines almost in passing: fenced-off facilities, a river bed running dry, factories and refineries, run-down streets and gas stations, a camp under a bridge. The past is there too, seeping up through the songs and speeches that sporadically pierce the background noise or the motifs that evoke a whole career; the clouds, trains and cabins are stand-ins for films, not just states. As always, there’s time for more abstract thoughts too: each image may stand for a state, but representativity is slippery. Which state is more cinematic than the rest?
3.5 拍得还行，但妈害女儿的基本主题执行得没有更多趣味（虽然导演已经很努力也很清楚自己想做的表达了）。中规中矩类型片
有一点点像黑天鹅，toxic的母女关系，完美主义控制狂母亲，女孩的青春期性启蒙性压抑……
挺悲伤一故事 女孩死去 鸟怪取代 没人在意女主的感受 这样家庭下的孩子都是悲哀的
明明是北欧电影却有种日本片的压抑沉闷，长期压抑的教育模式使得内心的怪物幻化成型最终取代原本的自己，顺从怯懦让人失望的小孩死了，留下的是妈妈喜欢的样子。
2021.10.4一开头我就眼泛泪光…整场下来莫名一直有泪点…童年啊
嗯﹉那个爱告状的女生，李小曼，长相和形象和我自己现实里的一位女同学非常像，代入感太强了。
翻了好多短评，感觉书迷买单还是蛮多的。皮皮鲁宇宙目前为止没开发的特别好，可惜了。
人孵化鸟，从和鸟的双生灵设计，到彻底变成鸟人，女孩分饰人与鸟演技OK，粘液部分有点不适，看到最后不觉得恐怖，内里是悲伤的。
开局像圣母没有好下场的走向，原来是家庭，教育的隐喻。。。
“这是学校，成绩是唯一标准”
怪物的设计也是颇有心思，大眼长嘴的小鸟造型，看起来真的十分惊悚，也不知女主怎么克服的了能和它近距离拍戏的，我隔着屏幕都觉得毛骨悚然。
还有很廉价的扣图制作，
毁了我的童年阅读。孩子和家长的矛盾，个体成长和系统教育的矛盾，全都没解决，最后一把大火烧出个英雄来，矛盾全没了。草泥马。
剧情比较空，但结局留了足够的空间让人浮想联翩。
陪孩子看这部剧，为啥会把我给看哭了呢？作为儿童剧，这部电影真是太好了！
看着奇奇怪怪的家庭，一家四口，可能只是将矛盾和人性的恶放大了的普通家庭。还挺新鲜的片子！
压根没打磨过剧本，想一出是一出，又想讽刺女性又把男性拍的比女性还愚蠢，画面也拉胯，从怪物到人的过程割裂、毫不猎奇
简直是匪夷所思，片子让我对北欧的印象大打折扣，没什么文化
我已经能想象，这当妈的和鸟孩一起把小女孩埋在后院的样子了，然后给她打扮打扮继续做vlog…
四星给童年的美好回忆吧！
