Min Ji-suk runs a "ticket bar"where customers can purchase tickets for certain "services"in the town of Sokcho in Gangwon-do. She hires Miss Yang (Ahn So-young), Miss Hong (Lee Hye-young), and Se-young (Jeon Se-young) through the employment agency. Miss Yang and Miss Hong, who are well experienced in this type of business, are used to accepting propositions from customers. But Se-young, who is dating a college student named Min-su, rejects all requests for sexual favors. When Min-su professes to having problems with his tuition and finances, Se-young reassures him that she will procure the necessary funds for him. When the bar's clientele begins to dwindle because of Se-young, Ji-suk reprimands her severely. Se-young develops a close relationship with a Captain Pak and even allows him to sleep with her. She asks Captain Pak to find Min-su employment on a boat, but when Min-su comes to Sokcho for his new job, he sees how Se-young has been making her living. Shocked, he turns his back on the job and leaves. When he eventually returns to Sokcho, he scathingly denounces Se-young's morality and severs their relationship. Decades ago, Ji-suk had stumbled into the bar business in a desperate effort to support her husband, who was serving time in prison; she later left him voluntarily out of shame and moral degradation. Concerned that Se-young will end up with the same fate, Ji-suk asks Min-su to meet with her. She begs him not to abandon Se-young, but he flatly refuses. Ji-suk reacts by pushing Min-su into the sea, and suffers a mental breakdown that lands her in a psychiatric institution.
20年过去了，法律已经教会你怎么「做人」，社会偏见则一如既往。在固化阶层思维里，警察永远正确，弑警者永世不得超生。警察的儿子放下枪的那一刻是片中难得的温暖，每个人都有难过的坎，说服自己放下的那一刻真的需要勇气。
看一半猜到剧情。逻辑有点弱。结尾处理的挺好，Sandra bullock演技在线。
1. Sandra Bullock最近和Don’t Look Up里的Cate Blanchette一样，肉毒杆菌打过头了；2. Emily被kidnap，Ruth为什么不直接告诉Steve他绑架错了人？3.为什么要顶替5岁的妹妹去坐牢？5岁啊，什么惩罚都不会有，最多就是去看心理医生吧（有人可能会说，会被从Ruth身边带走，要送去寄养家庭，可是Ruth如果顶替她去坐牢了，那不也是被送去寄养家庭了吗？）4.Emily被绑住了手腕，可以轻松地撕下嘴上的duck tape啊！
为了保护她5岁的妹妹，我还在想是什么样的情形会让她杀了警长，原来不是她开的枪（剧透）。整部戏的节奏不快，冲突也不算激烈，但表达出来的情绪却是很到位，那种无奈和抓狂，绝望和期待，桑德拉真是演得太好了。我不禁想到一个，就是如果当年说实话，会是什么样的判法呢？
推荐，可看。
除了当事人，其实很难知道事情的全部真相，所以请谨慎评论。
2021年12月25日观看。桑德拉演的很好，情绪拿捏到位。
张力十足，拍的跌宕起伏，反转很牛，前面的铺陈一直觉得女主罪有应得，不值得同情，反转后女主的人生是真的悲催。
Sandra Bullock是好莱坞所有女星当中我唯一确信 绝对在真实生活中是个大好人的
教科书一样的电影，剧本，演员，镜头，剪辑，节奏，挑不出一点毛病
老套剧情也是 奈飞破电影 真他妈好哭 ciao
前面看着很像《暗黑之地》的风格 但渐入佳境 小仓库里特别害怕Steve一枪崩掉Ruth 那可就彻头彻尾BE了 小妹妹吃蛋糕背对姐姐被抓那组镜头 孩子有魔鬼一样的感觉 妹妹的两段钢琴插入的也恰好有氛围 结尾妹妹走向姐姐 的确催泪
其实是一个很严肃的话题。站在寄养家庭、警长儿子和主角身上都能理解各自的心境、处境。饶恕（forgive）意味着和解，这种痛彻心扉的感觉很难站在一个轻飘飘地旁人视角感受得到。另外，很不喜欢一些肤浅的戏谑评论“冲奥片”“拿奖片”。
粉身碎骨都护之身后称为之爱。
不过导演对于情绪的控制力还是可以的。
3.5吧，桑德拉演技牛逼，但是剧情太一般，看前面就猜到后面，最后是不是都怨枪…
配乐和几个镜头语言很不错，比较喜欢。
成年人替未成年人顶罪，这次美国白左可算是左出了新高度
观感有点像我前段时间看的日影《美好的世界》，但不及日影动人
人与社会的关系，偏见，阶层，很多时候才是人的不幸根源
