Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
既然大哥比那个穿越二十次的老公穿越还早，那为啥戏份这么少
寡淡无趣平庸，是温暖的小品，但人物的立体感和真实感不是靠几句日常俏皮话和随手讲一件随手讲一件多年前的琐事就能展现出来的。想讲的内容有些多，父亲缺失、自我价值和身份寻找、单身母亲及她的家庭问题等等，但没一个讲透哪怕只是把情绪和转变说明白了，也不是父亲被抓、耶鲁毕业，这些问题就结局了。表现得太过于流水账，舅舅和酒吧又太过于理想化，确实不知道到底想讲啥。只能说画面质感还算不错，实在令人失望。
怎么说呢，看不看完全取决于对佐藤泰志的喜爱和对东出昌大的厌恶哪个占上风。
演员差节奏差，如果我没看过彗星来的那一夜可能还能高一星
“上学、交朋友、谈个恋爱，再找份工作，组建家庭，普普通通地生活。”
【感谢@温柔酒吧】《温柔酒吧》是颁奖季电影里最平淡也是最温馨的一部，充满了爱与希望。我多么希望看似无望的生活中能有这么一个作为人生导师的舅舅，帮我渡过黑暗和无助。感谢这部电影给我没有的爱。这是一部带给人们希望的电影，是给大多数人看的电影。舅舅的扮演者本·阿弗莱克值得一个奥斯卡提名。
如果没有看过彗星和邮轮，这部电影应该是满分。国产科幻，能做到这样很不容易了，其实是很欧洲的电影，换个欧裔面孔，说不定是8.0的高分了，可惜了。我希望未来十年内能提高到这个分数段。另外说一句，大兴安岭真的很漂亮。
乔治克鲁尼大概是我见过最没才华的导演了，事实证明用功和高产并不能让人灵光一现。或许是因为他没受难过，也没经历过大部分人的人生。令人昏昏欲睡的男孩故事，所有情节都跟他的耶鲁、和富家女孩的爱情、纽约时报一样随便；我不明白这部电影的受众到底是谁。如果他想要展现20年都是莫名其妙过去的，那倒是成功的（但这不是电影吗不是日记）。
和彗星来的那一夜十分相似，不同之处在于，这部电影的场景更加大，一整个森林作为交换点，三个演员，平行空间像涟漪一样不断扩散开，且相同空间存在两个自己时必定存在厮杀，尤其是什么都如愿顺遂的那个空间
他们无法释怀的情感以他们独自的释然方式坚定存在着，寻找自我一定是迷茫的但或许所做的一切会有其特殊意义
老歌大乱炖外加各种怀旧情怀的拼搭，尽管整体能量温暖、积极并且偶有笑点，尽管Tye Tye很可爱；但最遗憾的是它始终没有抓住角色真正的独特性- -边看边会思索，为什么要知道J.R.的故事（然而在面对《少年时代》时，就不会存在这个疑问）。Uncle Charlie为J.R.提供了安全感，大本也尽可能去还原了一个“男性楷模”的角色；只可惜两人的互动因为年龄的更换变得有限，也没有更多空间耕耘默契。《在下、鄙人和我》示范了三个时空的“自己”如何对话，如何探索- -这里或许只是勉强完成了1.5个。
这种感觉，这种镜头，这种叙事真的很好莱坞的感觉，我一开始总有种违和感，怎么是中国人在演，这到底是哪国？林场，美式别墅，还有枪…
em
前半段上大学前挺好，温暖治愈，孩子长大后剧本似乎找不到要表达什么，职场爱情社会阶级，一通表达后再生硬地往回拉。Ben这个舅舅演的挺好，但可惜后面没有连贯起来，和JR的情感表现有些断崖，人生哲学male science讲的不错。
不像是穿越更能代入到惊慌失措的迷路
女主应该如何面对别的空间里同样丧子的自己，如何守护她的“儿子”呢
5星全给奈绪，真像她，老婆感十足，演技也好，像梦中情人
你是以什么心情演这部电影说这些台词的呢？片尾的阳光照得奈绪好美。
因为是郑雷的抖音粉丝，所以知道了并且看了这部电影，对于中国科幻片来说果然土猛土猛的，小成本拍出了好莱坞般的悬疑烧脑的套路，值得点个大大的赞。好莱坞已经买下翻拍版权，更加牛掰。
好平淡的剧情。
