For 27-year-old Ben (Josh Lawson), life couldn’t be better. A well paid job, friends, parties, girls and nothing to tie him down. But when he is invited back to his old school to join several other ex-students including Alex (Rachael Taylor) and Jim (Ed Kavalee) in talking about their personal achievements, something goes wrong. Ben is the only speaker not to be asked a question by the school kids. This triggers a year of soulsearching and looking for answers in all the wrong places.
From his best friend Andy (Christian Clark) whose solution is that they both take another holiday, to his mentor Sam (Lachy Hulme) who loans him a sports car in the belief that there’s nothing like excessive speed to resolve emotional turmoil. Not even Ben’s father (Rob Carlton) or friends Nick (Daniel Henshall) and Em (Felicity Ward) can offer much in the way of meaningful guidance.
Of course, it’s not easy seeking enlightenment in nightclubs, or on the ski fields of New Zealand, and when you start dating a Russian tennis star things can get really complicated. As the poster boy for a generation desperate to tick every box, Ben begins to suspect that the meaning of life may well reside in the things he's already doing - and a girl he used to know.
“小森林”般的生活收养了一只狼和一只狮子，简直太完美了。
豆瓣里难得一见的摄影为故事往上拉分的片子……摄影吧，确实好，但质感我觉得像做得特别好的美剧，整个状态和摄法就不像真正中世纪的事儿。整个片节奏可以用“抽筋”形容，一会要出氛围一会又蒙太奇，说风格也真不是，回到刚才的说法，还确实就是美剧质感
大卫洛维的节奏有点难以适应，戴夫帕特尔的表现力无可挑剔。
很适合小朋友看, 北在看到狮子没有跟着游回家,不知道结局会怎么样,就在黑暗的电影院里一直在抹眼泪,看得全情投入. 小朋友的善良真的浑然天成.
如果它绽放在我们的皮肤下 我们将它挤压出去
绿色是这片大地的颜色 是生物与生命的颜色
这部电影来说，镜头摄影都让我感到美极，故事和节奏却较为晦涩。看过电影后拜读了一些解析和背景故事才懂了大意。
配乐和取景都不错，缺点在于这里面出彩的都是非人的事物。
不知道为什么评分不高，其实蛮好看的，小朋友也喜欢
P.S. 坎妹还是美啊，美啊，美啊
灯光和BGM营造了一个很棒的世界观。故事中的水有点多，中间就好像是在故意吓唬人。总之真正的骑士是可以直面恐惧
而那死亡，含着泪水地走向死亡，骑在一匹马上!
7.9分。很久没见这种散文诗般的作品了，风格上，看似分割的章节、温吞缓慢的节奏完全没有带给我倦意；剧情方面，大胆将“壮士出川”改为“浪子蜕变”，更贴合现代人口味，导演和编剧很善于揣摩观众心里；制作方面，更是将构图、色调、音乐做到了极致，极大程度提高了影片的艺术性。唯一缺点在于绿衣骑士的造型，创意及美感欠佳，和影片整体风格略微割裂。
调色深得我心，剧情也比较简单。又是我喜欢中世纪题材，没什么可挑刺的地方。
没有明白很多表意的符号与道具，大体意思就是试炼闯关，成为骑士
抄袭中国古代“黄粱一梦”、“南柯一梦”等等
不错的故事新编。倒是豆瓣这些短评让我不得不相信真的有人缺失看电影的能力（连我妈都能欣赏的津津有味
红是欲望 而绿 是欲望之后的东西
绿色是这片大地的颜色 是生物与生命的颜色
美术很赞，别出心裁的打光、巧妙的构图，舒适的色彩，这是一部为电影院而生的电影。艺术感浓烈，风格诡谲，是A24的味。可惜剧情实在是欣赏不来，更谈不上史诗。舒缓的节奏加上阴郁的情绪很催眠，一不小心就睡了…
