　　Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
　　Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
　　As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
　　The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
　　Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.

　　2007年，美国内华达州。24岁的年轻摄影师雅尼夫·舒尔曼（雅尼夫·舒尔曼 Yaniv Schulman饰）收到了一幅根据他摄影作品绘制而成的画作。欣喜之余，他惊讶地发现这幅画作居然出自一名八岁的小女孩麦乐迪·罗雪尔（麦乐迪·罗雪尔 Melody C. Roscher饰）之手。雅尼夫立刻在Facebook上与这位才华洋溢的小女孩结成了好朋友。通过麦乐迪，雅尼夫开始了解她的家庭，更与她的姐姐梅根·法契欧（梅根·法契欧 Megan Faccio饰）展开了一段浪漫的异地恋。雅尼夫的哥哥艾瑞儿·舒勒曼（艾瑞儿·舒勒曼 Ariel Schulman饰）决定与他的好友亨利·乔斯特（亨利·乔斯特 Henry Joost饰）将这段恋情经历拍成纪录片。然而一连串隐藏在网络背后令人毛骨悚然的谎言，渐渐浮出水面，令人不寒而栗。
