剧情介绍
17歲的莎拉全心投入學校的戲劇排練，赤裸地體驗舞台上和生活中的暴力。當她試圖揭露深藏心中的醜陋秘密，高聲呼喊卻孤立無援，於是在莎士比亞和華格納的經典劇目中尋找寄託，她想握有茱麗葉的匕首，想跟隨伊索德的腳步殉情而去，當她站上舞台，她是否能對世界展開反擊，扮演的界線究竟在哪裡？
面對青春的躁動不安、浪漫愛情的美好想像、家庭表面和平之下的種種不協調，導演用影像不斷拋出一個又一個哲學問題，透過日常生活與經典戲劇的相互映照，細膩地描述女孩成長過程中的自我懷疑與歇斯底里。 On the stage of her high school drama class 17-year-old Sarah gives it all. When she performs, there is an instant of suspense in which she appears to transform completely into her character. But what lies behind Sarah's radical stage presence? A dark secret she is trying to express, a claustrophobic family environment, the longing for a boyfriend, a friend, someone she can confide in. The more Sarah expresses this desire, the more she ends up alienating the people willing to get close to her. The downfall of an outsider and her incessant struggle to escape solitude.

4.5
開場相當點題！（陽光燦爛、山明水秀的景色，出現直升機的影子，棒）整體貪心，以致有點裝神弄鬼，可是有幾場戲處理得頗出色。〈Riverside〉。
4.5/5 answers are in the film 导演现场回答观众说 “i don’t think Sarah has a mental disease” (6-week shoot with first-time teenager actors)
taipeiff/从罗密欧的死起始，以萨拉的死为止，女导演对青春期的认识，加合一种类似伯格曼对白的戏剧与生活的交织冲突。特写超近景和被放大的声效嘶吼，舞台上的影像氛围浓厚，但似乎只停留在我为戏狂的惊悚和疯狂中，浅尝辄止。
影像风格很有个人特色，可能是年纪大了，对这种青春期无人理解的阵痛题材有点审美疲劳。导演来现场做Q&A，谈到瑞士虽然生活富足，但很多人从高处跳下自杀，而且大部分都是年轻女孩。听到这些还蛮惊讶的。有观众拿这个跟《双峰》做比较，然后导演就突然聊high了。。。
#Venice2017# 影评人周终于看到一部可以送四星的了。敏感细腻的高中文艺少女难熬的青春期写得真是准确，文化层次很高，典故用得很多（写作与想象，生活与虚构的关系），戏剧段落也很有结构性。声画关系有想法（包括几个声画叠用的段落），摄影也颇多可圈可点。
