I tried to watch it but I don't think I made it halfway. I didn't check reviews or watch the trailer before watching. That was my big mistake. Because the trailer is kind of horrible and I would never have made the mistake of wasting time on this.
It's like one of those Lifetime movies that pretend to be "ripped from the headlines". Faux social commentary at it's worst. Pretending to be about disadvantaged young women but everybody is pretty and clean and kinda fashionable. The acting is bad. Writing and direction are horrible. Costumes and set decoration are unconvincing at best. Honestly can't think of anything that was worth commending.
So my simple recommendation is this: Watch the trailer. If that doesn't make you want to hurl then there is at least a chance you will enjoy it. If you actually like the trailer then there is also a chance you will enjoy it. Maybe even a good chance.
I wish I had watched the trailer before watching this. I also wish I had that 40 or so minutes back cuz life is too short to watch 3/10 movies.

I don't know exactly what this is but it certainly isn't a movie. At least not in any traditional sense of the word. And calling it "experimental film" is not accurate either. What it is, is an example of an art piece as provocation.
I'll tell you right now that if you are easily offended by nudity then you will be extremely unlikely to enjoy this. Hell I'm not offended by nudity whatsoever and I didn't enjoy it either.
If you are the sort of person who is outraged that their local municipality or whatever spent money on a work of art that doesn't conform to classical standards then you will certainly be outraged by this piece.
If you are bothered by explicit gore then you are also not going to enjoy a lot of this.
The main "character" spends a lot of time as a naked corpse and things happen to that naked corpse that should be disturbing to most sane people. And that's all I'm going to say about that.
To summarize: Most people will be disturbed by at least some of this piece. Many will be offended. And I think that most will not enjoy it. So watch at your own risk. If you take the chance I hope you do enjoy it.
I did not like this art piece. But I gave it a 6 out of 10 simply because the attempt was made.

This is just another one of the many films that gets remade over and over again. The remakes never get any better, in fact often the reverse. And this film fulfills that formula perfectly. It's dumbed down, unsexy and uninteresting.
There is no chemistry between the two titular characters whatsoever and the acting is no very good. I didn't particularly hate the performances but I also didn't find them in the least believable.
The writing was pretty terrible. It seemed as though they wanted to have somebody be the "bad guy" but they just weren't sure about who to make it. Direction was poor. Too concerned with the surface appearances and ignoring the substance. The set and costuming were basically BBC average.
Like man Netflix "originals" they are scared of offending anyone and spend so much time and effort on avoiding that offense that the end product is as bland and tasteless as cafeteria food.
