American psychologist John Holden arrives in London to participate in a symposium aiming to expose witchcraft and devil-worship as a fraud, with attention centered on a cult run by a Julian Karswell. Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].
整体碰撞在一起，导致：文艺之中参杂着黑色幽默，甚至带点神经质，气质直接拉满。
7.5/10 台前幕后，戏梦人生。真真假假，尽付笑谈中。
佩佩是我的神，想被她的舌头胡乱拍打狂吻！至于内容cliche and fun
3.5 人物太写实了 看的时候完全置身其中 同时也反思了下 我会不会是其中的哪个谁
虽然本身进行了一系列结构解构，完全称不上是现实的，但是乍眼一看，只觉国外电影工作者之幸福，与自身所处土地之窘迫了。
戏如人生的互文倒是不新奇，但是好像触及到了表演艺术真实的戏谑。电影在真相方面往往很放肆，看上去好像真情流露下一秒就能变脸，说着瘫痪不可逆的下个镜头男主就又醒过来了，所谓剧情的可塑性太强了。
0630 比较无法拒绝元电影和美术馆风大房子
3.8 为了达成冲突及事件后的反应，剧作太刻意了，以及大货车司机之后全程不在场？
很好笑，非常有意思，也有很多视听上的设计。这就是看电影的乐趣呀。
玩我！？？真以为得癌症了，我还想发展这么普通，然后…演的好好（鼓掌！立体化讽刺，绞碎奖杯那里我笑的想死Hahhahah
戏剧性拉满，不愧是《杰出公民》的导演班底，自反自嘲也够疯癫，奖杯粉碎机真是没谁了。然而荒诞过后的真实不够触及内里，借力打力终是徒有其表，可惜三主演的精湛演出。
对全球电影行业的辛辣讽刺 冲奖派明星与清高派艺术家的对决 最初关注到这部电影只是因为这部叫主竞赛的电影入围了威尼斯主竞赛hhh 然而比起全程高能的剧情这点噱头简直不算啥 就不在此过多剧透了 导演对电影艺术的看法、对观众的期望已经要溢出屏幕了 感受到了如今电影寒冬下业内人士的呐喊与不满 潘潘和班德拉斯献出了很颠覆但超精彩的表演 就算路人观众对情节不够有共鸣 二人的飙戏看起来也绝对过瘾
很虐的一部电影，父亲和女儿的和解来的太晚了。
还是很不错的。尽管看预告片大概能够猜到电影的情节。非常日式的电影，可以看到他们心灵的方方面面。故事果然是浓重的忧郁色彩里最后透露出那么一丝光亮的氛围。有一点心疼桃李桑，感觉好多戏里他都是在演这种苦情的角色，就算演坏人也有种苦情感（个人感觉）。人还是要懂得和解，尤其是与自己。
碎奖杯那里真的看乐了，金球奖杯都不配被碎掉是吗哈哈哈讽刺得也挺好挺幽默
深深感受到每个人的无力，花音，她爸爸，店长，员工，撞人的女孩子，女孩子的妈妈。如果是我在生活遇到这样的事情，会怎样处理呢？
好喜欢那块“石头”。今年的好电影怎么都有石头的精彩演出哈哈哈
文人相轻，影人更甚，我太喜欢看一切领域的野路子与学院派争锋了。Penelope的面容身段与这部电影里简洁又深邃的建筑美得难分高下。
雖然名字叫主競賽，但卻沒啥電影節片子的調調，看似是對演藝圈光怪陸離亂象的諷刺，誇張到極致反而是對文藝工作者奉獻自我的謳歌。另外，片中三位主演都有不同程度的自我解構以及自身經歷的投射，其中班德拉斯最為出彩。最搞笑的是頭頂巨石、吻戲ASMR以及粉碎機。表演真是太棒了，從頭到尾都是大寫的Acting！
日本人还真是喜欢Sumimasen啊。
