《55步》影迷点评

「Everybody's here to help me. That's why I need help.」「This is not about refusal. This... this is about the right to refuse.」「What good does it do if you win my case, you make other people's lives better, but you don't live your own life?」「Tell me I'm not right. Just tell me I'm not right.」「I'm out of practice praying. But I know you're not out of practice listening.」「You were a brave woman, Eleanor.」「We weren't just working on a case. That this wasn't just about law. It was about people. The human right to be respected, and the human duty to treat each other with respect.」

全片中规中矩，但是喜欢这个题材，为弱势群体争取权利，自由。真人真事改编。有点像《辩护人》都是在形势不看好的情况下，逆袭胜诉。但是本片重点并不是在辩护庭审环节，导演更多的展现了人与人之间的信任与友谊，正义与使命。而这便是社会进步的阶梯。

出自Bille August之手毫不意外：动人史实+严谨工整的叙事节奏，颇有老导演的稳重和匠气。本以为这个故事会是Helena的冲奥之作，只可惜多多少少因为Jeffrey Tambor还有其他事件没能突围--55步是为了抗争为了胜利需要踏过的法院梯级，也是当Colette走进Eleanor住家最终走进心灵需要的一个来回。

BJIFF 4.5，Eleanor勇敢和无畏，Colette正义和良知。还记得名叫Informed Consent的主题，了解到对于知情同意权、不伤害原则的举证多么艰难，我们不能远离那些孤立的个体。传记人物出现和The McGuire Sister的《He》响起的时候难掩泪水

就算生活再狼狈，也要把自己当成一个，人！

Helena Bonham Carter 的演技其实确实一直都这么好啊。我们之所以被她们所感动是因为我们现实中极少存在这样的人，鲜有这样的力量。
