Vince P On the one hand, this is a first rate "period piece", which I write in quotes because the setting is of the present. But it shows in beautiful detail the world of high end hotels, which is something that precious few of us would ever access. The camera work here is gorgeous. Personally I found Merlant to be quite beautiful and she is in her prime and physically flawless, and they make sure to leverage that to great effect in repeated scenes featuring intercourse, oral, and masturbation. The other actors contribute consistently believable if understated performances, and it's all directed with a slow burn into a plot direction one doesn't really expect. But... that's where the joy stops. The problem with this film is the script. I don't know what they were thinking. It dabbles with being part soft-core porn, part social/business drama, and part erotic romance; but it doesn't do any of those justice. Even more disappointingly, it leaves EVERY arc in the air at the end of the movie with only probabilities left to the viewer so they can make up whatever ending they like I suppose. It had the potential to be more, to be a statement. Instead they abdicate all responsibility for resolution of the various stories and feck off into the sunset on a carnal note. I was not amused, nor impressed, nor taken with the poignancy of it. They could have done all three, but choose instead to impart ambiguity itself as a first class outcome. I'm sure it was done quite on purpose, but it was a poor choice. Sure, life is messy, choices are not always satisfying, and that is a fine thing to impose upon the characters in the movie, but not the audience. The writing is just lazy and this is not a complete movie in its current state. Unless you like that sort of thing, I recommend staying away from this one. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/13/25 Full Review tony b Turgid, self conscious and dull. It’s about as erotic as Thomas The Tank Engine. The dialogue is stilted, pretentious and tedious. This film has nothing to offer but it probably doesn’t care.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/20/25 Full Review Jan V Not a huge fan of the 1974 original, but Silvia Kristel's sultry stare made it worth watching. Now we get weird faced Merlant who has the sexappeal of Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys. Hollywood is officially out of ideas. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/10/25 Full Review Joaquim M I felt this remake was just ok. Their wasn't much to the characters though i felt the sexual scenes were enjoyable. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/08/25 Full Review Alex N Haven't seen a movie so empty, void, and nothing as far as I can remember. Wonder where that 18% approval rate comes from and how this project got financed in the first place. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review Read all reviews
