User Reviews

This Wins the 2018 award for most wasted opportunity to become a classic. " Such a shame"

From the beginning of this film the technique and quietness with bold visuals really had a feel that was Von Trier esque. From the awkward car scene in the beginning I was really enthused about where this film seemed to be taking me. When I heard this flick was "Disturbing" I immediately took time to see it. Starring Victoria Carmen Sonne a multilingual mid twenties actress who seemed as though she was born for this role. The camera angles and music for the film is also marvelous so what's my problem about this film "LAZINESS" the film had potential to really dig deep into the disturbing area it grew amazing long legs and just refused to stand up. Yes theres an Unsimulated sex scene that I'm pretty sure her whole family will never get over after watching and I'm pretty sure the R-rating doesn't cover this extreme scene that even shows fluids but besides that and another lack luster 1 minute scene this film was as tame as they cum... No pun intended. The movie also speaks atleast 3 different languages and the subtitles were in Dutch and there accents were so thick it was very difficult to keep up with there broken english. There wasn't really mystery involved but when you show a scene and there isn't any follow up to why things happened it's just creating a scene for the sake of a scene, No backstory No revelations that come later what the heck was that about is what it leaves you thinking. I think if you put this much effort into creating a nerving storyline to make people uneasy those like myself who are disturbing movie fans feel like you destroyed a character who could of become memorable andwaste. wasted a perfect opportunity. Oh well the form on that shot looked perfect but your shot was an airball. Such a waste.
