william w OK, this movie takes some chances. And, for the most part, does a great job in delivering a very suspenseful film. Winding a story around sexual fetishes and psychological mind games, this movie could have easily gone off the rails. But it does not. The film has wonderful cinematography and solid story line. And is worthy of a watch. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Painful and lugubrious, amateurish acting matched with putrid, amateurish dialog. Or maybe I just wasn't in the mood for a vacuous and pretentious undergraduate attempt at movie-making. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A love story with feel good vibes and amazing quality and great characters in this movie. Stunning cinematography and dialogue. Add this to your movie night flicks. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Ambitious and vibrant cinematography brings this story alive and artistically conveys desire and passion. The themes of this film are provocative and artistically conveyed in a sexy story that circumvents the typical male gaze and meditates on intimacy as much as desire. There is light BDSM, but done in a way that is de-stigmatizing and consensual. Women's desires are planted firmly in the story arc and the female characters are not relegated to the whims of men, actually it's more the opposite. Maria Allred's performance really stands out as the taboo breaking Sylvia, also notable was the performance of Julie Webb as Louisa. There are lots of great nods to the city of Portland with shots across the city including the easter egg of Mary's Club: a notable feminist strip club, where Louisa's character performs to shake up her routine and imbibe her creative process. Excellent production value all around and some incredible montages which are artistic and express carnal desires in a dreamlike fashion. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member wow doesn't really get any worse than this jumbled mess of poor acting and horrible writing... this movie does not work on ANY level Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member If you're looking for something steamy to watch on a Saturday night, it's-a one spicy baby! Kidding aside, while this movie is quite sexy, it's so much more than that. Director (and lead actor!) Maria Allred set out with a bold vision and the result is a tense, smart and stylish film that will keep you simultaneously confused and intrigued all the way through. This film is very straightforward on the surface, seemingly intentionally so, and the viewer slowly falls into it's narrative trap before they realize it. It plays with the viewer and their assumed expectations of standard storytelling in a very fun way. When the film ended, I sat there for a moment and said to myself, "Damn. She got me." I'm really looking forward to what Maria Allred cooks up next. She's a filmmaker worth putting on your radar. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
