I am torn about rating this movie...
20 March 2013
If you like porn with a plot -- I do! -- then take a look at this movie. I was expecting an NC17 kind of movie, but when you include cum shots, sorry in my book that crosses over to porn. In that category, it might have been a 6 or 7 except for one small problem.

I am a typical American in very few ways, but I really, really, really do not like point in time stories with no beginning, climax or end. I think of this as a European / International genre. I always feel cheated because just when I am engaging with the characters -- oops its over.

Now, if you like this type of story and you also like porn with a plot, this movie will probably "WOW" you...

My rating system: 10-The Perfect Movie 9-I will watch it over and over again 8-Ther is something special about this movie 7-Well above average 6-slightly better than average 5-Average Movie (Worth Watching!) 4-Slightly Blow Average 3-Boring / Well Below Average 2-So Bad I Got Up and Walked Out 1-I cannot imagine anyone liking this movie

Worth the time and energy

Even though I rate this film only a 6, I would encourage you to invest the time in watching it. The characters and plot are so engaging that you are left wanting much more when the movie comes to an end. I am not a fan of plots with no climax or denouement; so I ding it for being one of those -- oh, my god what happens now? movies. It's so good it engages you in these people just enough that you want so much more, but sorry that's the end...

So many questions are left unanswered at the end of this film that it is frustrating. But, if the film were not so well crafted, who would care, after-all?
