But I still want a complete spoiler. The meaning of the film's name returning to the past refers to a kind of psychotherapy that touches the deep memory blocked by the subject to understand the situation at the time. It sounds very ridiculous, but also very ridiculous. The film begins with a raining American town, similar to the style of the Twilight City, and the time is set in the eighties and nines. At first it was Bruce Kenner, a small town police detective played by Ethan Hawke, who received a report that a girl had been sexually assaulted by her father. No impression of sexual assault. At this time, Detective Kenner found a psychologist. The doctor used what is called a back-to-the-old therapy. In the memory, the father saw that his daughter was being sexually assaulted while he was holding a camera next to him. The perpetrator is a police officer in the police station. Kenner then went to question the colleague but the other party refused to admit it. Later, Kenner found the girl, the heroine played by Emma, but she was traumatized by the specific heart and refused to explain. As the investigation progressed, Kenner discovered that all of this was related to a secret cult in the town, but his colleagues at the police station did not believe him, and he became suspicious and nightmare as the investigation progressed. At this time, I thought the movie would go the horror route like Silent Hill, but that was I think too much. Then Kenner found the younger brother of the heroine, who ran away from home when he was a comrade. Later (I actually forgot it, but the progress was so fast) Kenner discovered that everything was a conspiracy of the heroine. She got together with the police officer who sexually assaulted her in the memory but was abandoned. I was very upset, thinking that my dad had treated me badly these years, so I accused my father of sexual assault. Then the film ends when the subtitles return to the old days and are not very reliable as a psychotherapy.
The first half of the movie was okay. The tension of the cult was relatively strong, but in the second half, it was obvious that I was not able to control it. The first part was too long to talk about some very broken details. Later, it felt like the plot was fast-forwarding and then ended in a hurry. The detective played by Ethan Hawke is actually quite good, but limited by the quality of the script and the movie itself, it cannot be an impressive role. He is a very good actor himself, and has acted in the love trilogy and many excellent works in the past ten years. However, many mediocre films have also been taken. For example, this and last year’s former destination are niche films with very peculiar themes. And Emma’s role is really poor. She played less than 30 minutes as the heroine, and the final reversal was also very weak. Saying that I am the big devil, everything is my conspiracy, but Hermione’s expression is accompanied. It's really unconvincing.
However, even if Emma is dressed up like a country aunt, she is still invincible and beautiful, so I have to give Samsung for this point.
