Célène, at 17, is idealistic. She believes in absolute love, and is more interested in reading than in social networks. She is getting ready for living apart from her fiancé, Pierre, for a while, leaving Paris for Biarritz. Very quickly, she has to face the evil elite of her new school, ruled over by the former big-screen star and Instagram queen Vanessa and the celebrity surfer Tristan, who's both dangerous and seductive. Célène falls in love with him, but is a long way from suspecting that she is at the center of a cruel bet between Tristan and Vanessa. Just how far will they go?

The film’s energy is most colorful in its corners, where minor characters dance in blue mohawks and romp around make-out parties dressed like mermaids and nuns.

We are left with something much less thrilling-the rage of a woman scorned.

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

I think that Dangerous Liaisons is a fair enough movie...It’s just that the journey there is fraught and often simply disinteresting given the lack of discernable personalities in most of its characters besides “mean to others,” or worse.

Common Sense Media

Looking to piggyback off other recent successes, like Spanish series Elite, this French film lacks the self-awareness that distinguishes a guilty pleasure from a negative portrayal of teens.

Rated: 2/5

Decider

... For a story about horrible people, it’s surprisingly toothless, a bland and predictable mush that loses itself in the banal earnestness of its tedious, drawn-out conclusion.

EscribiendoCine

The transposition of a classic doesn't necessarily guarantee quality, or that postmodernism may salvage any banality when trying to cover up the narrative and artistic failures behind a cool aesthetic. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 5/10

Tries too hard to be hip and au courant outrageous but is ultimately corny, unconvincing and copycat.

Apart from the movie being bland and lacking values, it copied a whole scene from #realityhigh

Easily the worst film I have ever seen. It is a disgrace what they are teaching the younger generations.There was not a single point of value, an original, authentic idea, the whole film was a cliché based on the unrealistic image that today's generations have of the world and the dating scene.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

Very good modern adaptation of the classic novel. Very skilled directing, great music and a bunch of fabulous actors. It's teen oriented but adults can enjoy it too and even younger teens. Plus it's set in the idyllic town of Biarritz in the Basque Country of France...gorgeous!!
