An alcoholic writer (Peter Coyote) in a wheelchair recalls his sexy wife (Emmanuelle Seigner) for an English aristocrat (Hugh Grant) on an ocean liner.

Recklessly perched on the edge of the ludicrous, this examination of a destructive erotic passion unfolds with an unsettling mixture of steam and mordant iron.

Bitter Moon is half-digested and grossly undramatised, a loop-tape of explanations and voiceover; the longer it goes on, the more it drains our interest away.

2/5

Deliberately provocative, infuriatingly melodramatic, this is a film that begs not to be taken seriously, and requires a ready suspension of moral discernment for maximum enjoyment.

It's not often that you see a film that needs therapy more than the characters that appear in it.

2.5/4

This examination of the perils of obsessive love operates best as a sly, sick joke, with Coyote particularly reveling in his role as the manipulative sadist.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

This is a horrible film. The acting is terrible, the story is not interesting, the characters are boring. Do not watch it.

It's quite repetitive and long, almost like a lecture about a filthy ugly relationship with the voice-over dialog. It's not actors' fault.

Overly melodramatic, implausible characters make it less enjoyable. Peter Coyote shines.
