The reviews for this movie seem to be all over the place. The description for the movie tells you that it's about two married people having an affair, so that's what you should be expecting. I tried my best to avoid spoilers.I felt the romance between the two the moment they met, and explicit scenes aside, there was short snippets where you could see the characters love for each other, which showed how much their relationship was improving and the love was growing. The film is more than just the sexual content, and I'm struggling as how the people in these reviews can't see that. There's a double bogey plot twist, which I was 100% not expecting, but I'm not mad it happened. -- I also feel like people seem to be forgetting about the cultural/historical aspects of the movie, as it was set during the late 1960's.
The acting of the characters is very well done, especially the main lead. He does very well to emote and express how his character has totally become obsessed with this woman, like the film says. People are saying the main leads acting is poor, but that's just the character she was playing, is it not? Right off the bat, her character is introduced as shy, which I was able to see throughout the movie. And why would her character be smiling, when the man she loves is besides his wife?
Overall, I enjoyed this movie and the direction of it. The music choice was SUPER fitting, and it matched especially well during those steamy scenes. I never write reviews but I feel like I have to as nobody is giving this movie justice. If you are old enough, and willing to give this movie a shot, I say go for it. I see why there's mixed reactions to this movie, so just try it yourself and see if you like it.
TDLR: Ignore the reviews and form your own opinion. It's a beautiful story about forbidden love and obsession.
