Bobby L I enjoyed this fun story. Played by two charming leads in Lorrisa Julianus and Mickey O’Sullivan., the Misadventures of Mistress Maneater is a refreshing romantic drama with a lot of heart. Mistress Maneater’s inperfections make her character feel grounded and a lot of fun. Star and screenwriter Lorrisa Julianus is brilliant in every scene. If you are looking for a fun indie noir film on Prime, look no further and give this little gem a shot. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/20/25 Full Review Pat H Misadventures of Mistress Maneater isn't necessarily the movie that you'd expect from the cold open, which suggests a tone and subject matter not a million miles removed from Netflix’ late lamented show ‘Bonding’. Where this actually goes is much more unpredictable; a genre mash-up that takes in comedy, romance and action in a fun froth, anchored by an endlessly watchable central performance from Lorissa Julianus (who also takes writing duties). The sense of cheerful abandon on display really helps to overcome some structural hiccups and the movie manages to provide a fun and unpredictable choice for an evening's entertainment. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/24/25 Full Review Rich G A who done it romance with art, corruption the Russian mob, and a ball gag!!! This movie was so much fun loads of laughs and tons of heart. Grab a bowl of popcorn and get to watching Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/09/25 Full Review Deborah P At first I was thinking… This is well done, but we are filming for two very different purposes. Them kept watching and I started really getting into the film deeper and deeper… as it went on I realized… We actually both seem to be giving the same concepts in our Film Making. In two different ways. To make a films…for a very real purpose and message. To remind people they are worth more than they know and that their life is worth so very much. To give people hope. Just two different ways of giving people a very similar message:-) Hope 😊 Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/25 Full Review Kolo P This is a novel take on the old rom com genre with a wide blend of romance, cat and mouse sleuthing and redemption thrown in for good measure. The films initial scenes certainly set the stage to explain Ava's part time occupation but thankfully don't continue and they remain for the most part, a backstory to the character that we can reference occasionally throughout the narrative. The acting is well done and rarely drops down into frequently seen poor indie film dialogue acting and this helps to keep the interest in a well crafted and written movie. Overall Ava is a character the audience wants to root for despite the somewhat dubious methods to achieve things and like all rom com movies, we have a satisfactory ending even when all the dark secrets and hurts are revealed and dealt with. Overall the film has good character development, likeable personalities and visually appealing cinematography (and some dubious Russian bad guys!) Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/12/24 Full Review Jose D After wasting several hours of my life watching two big-budget movies at this rainy weekend, I came across this movie by chance. I loved it! I thought it was rather refreshing to watch a great movie that does not appeal to unnecessary nudity or over-the-top violence, or that 'preaches' to the audience (pun intended) about some topic currently in vogue. Just great storyline, likeable and relatable characters, and well acted. Two thumbs up from me! 👍👍 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/06/24 Full Review Read all reviews
