Featured reviews
Considering the quality of this movie? the makers should pay the viewer.
I'd imagine Rachel Blake was doing someone a favour to appear in this trash. I thought Emmanuel was a cross dresser. As for the kid............
This movie is short on story. The worst problem for me is there are a number of things the characters do that I would never believe would happen in real life. For instance very early in the movie, the boy several times invades the dominatrix's property and personal space, yet she accepts him into her home and gives him a job as gardener/caretaker. I don't think so especially given her occupation. In another very early scene the mother is kissing her adulterer boyfriend at the church right after the funeral service before everyone has left. Are they that stupid or the director thinks we are? There are several other instances that a half-intelligent person would not do. So it's impossible to buy into the characters at all.
Emmanuelle Béart who plays the dominatrix does a poor job portraying the role. I never believed she could have been one. It should be said, that there is very little on camera scenes of S&M, with any slaves or her in action as it were. The trailer and poster make it seem like it was a larger part.
This movie just doesn't say much. The characters are not believable. Some scenes move so slow without moving the story. This is one of the absolute worst movies I have seen in some time. A total turkey!
But i was disappointed from almost the beginning of the movie, the story is a mess, between a confused adolescent, a confused middle-aged-BDSM-woman, a cheating-with-your-best-friend, and all together make this mess, that the director and witter, didn't know how to solve.
Is it so difficult to tell a story ? beginning, middle part and ending, with some kind of sense ?
What Stephen Lance (i know it's his first major film) did was just a mesh-up of situations and none of them make a connection, and when you wait for 1h35min for some kind of explanations, BANG !!!!, nothing.
Lovely Emmanuelle Béart, you should of stayed in France, and skipped this film.
The 3 out of 10 is almost all to you.
