POSITIVES…
It’s got a provocative premise, that showcases erotic situations that includes a good amount of nudity and sex scenes. Sounds like it’s probably worth a watch for a specific kind of audience ain’t it.
Sexual stuff aside, the more unpredictable moments in the plot will keep your attention as well.
Speaking of grabbing your attention, Sydney Sweeney as Pippa is incredible in this. The character’s journey and how Sweeney portrays her is the main reason to see this film.
Supporting cast is good as well, which includes Justice Smith, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Ben Hardy, and Katharine King So.
While the story gets serious and dark, it’s not without a light hearted side that produces lines of dialogue like “Is he choking?” or “There’s a satyr in their apartment.”
There’s a plot point that involves a laser pointer and a sound board that I think might encourage some people to try it themselves.
Aesop fable about the donkey and his master.
"Margot."
If you are ever invited to do a photo shoot, make sure you have a chaperone.
The thrill of peeping and eavesdropping is a huge theme of this film, and the moral dilemmas that come from that.
Touches on a smorgasbord of commentaries about social issues.
That concluding third act might just impress you with that plot direction.
NEGATIVES…
That concluding third act might just make you turn off the movie early.
Some will say that this isn't erotic enough, or that it’s just glorified soft porn.
Some will say that this isn't much of a thriller, and that it doesn’t capitalize on the tensions in the plot.
It could have just been a very simple tale, but it becomes just another highly implausible story that thinks it’s more clever than it really is.
Can go down this rabbit hole of frustration with where the narrative is going.
Simply put, this movie relies on Pippa making all the wrong choices.
All the commentaries that this movie is trying to do, yeah, I’m not sure it hits the landing there.
At one point you'll go "wait, this movie isn't over yet?"
Put on curtains or blinds people, come on!
