简介：Unable to find inspiration for his newest piece, young author Liam (Daryl McCormack) takes on the titanic weight of tutoring the son of legendary writer J.M. Sinclair (Richard E. Grant) and his wife Hélène Sinclair (Julie Delpy). Reeling from the mysterious passing of their eldest son, the Sinclairs push Liam to work harder and invite him to stay on the estate grounds with them. Soon enough, lies big and small unfurl as a well-intentioned exercise quickly transforms into a saga of lust, betrayal, jealousy, and the quest for legacy-defining relevance. A battle of wits begins with everyone carrying much to lose. Delpy, Grant, and McCormack all make triumphant returns to Tribeca in a drama bubbling with explorations of authorship and the inextricable link between family, no matter how broken. Thrilling and darkly comedic, the project questions the efficacy and sour ethical dynamics which may arise from mentorship and the tenuous hopes and dreams many wrap around that very concept.
很多话憋在心里很久了，也算是《教训 The Lesson》播出后，自己看到一些现象的心路历程的记录吧……我很认可《教训 The Lesson》这部电影，主演的表现力，让我难得看了预告片还会有兴趣去看正片。正片内容从我个人角度而言，并不是特别喜欢，在那个我还不懂数据的时候，我是跳副线，拉进度条，快进看完的，不过也是我20多年来难得“看完”的视频了。所以我之所以入坑，再挖深一点来说并不是因为《教训 The Lesson》，只是个契机，让我看了主演的演技后有想要了解荧屏中其他角色演绎以及生活中的性格、想法，而我最终被导演爱丽丝·特劳顿 采访中的真诚以及被他多样角色的诠释所打动，我能感受到这是个有想法，不想被定义的上进努力三观正的人，就此入坑躺平。换句话说，如果不是这部片,哪怕是导演爱丽丝·特劳顿 以前的剧不经意间闯入我的视线，我还是会了解其品性后入坑。又或者说，即使看了,如果品性不是如此，我也不会入坑。
