They set out to film a beautiful movie about an authentic relationship that gets complicated due a naive fantasy of a threesome to enhance their love life. They delivered just that. Perfectly executed. Great soundtrack, directing, camera angles, scenery, acting, etc. The entire dialogue was authentic and honest. The only reason I'd not recommend the movie to someone is if they get uncomfortable with the subject matter. But if you're open to exploring the concept in a well crafted way, I'd definitely recommend giving this film a shot. Sweet and short as well. I think they did all they could with the subject and the story delivered a natural arc.

The was extremely bad and wrong on so many levels. Sure the lead is one of then women you just want to spend weeks with in the sack I mean of course the casting director knew what they were doing there. But even so this isn't going to save the film. Absolutely awful. Oh and the Black Lives Matter thing is really old. How on earth is someone like her going to be into someone like her? Just didn't work no chemistry. A lose young woman, or kind of young perhaps thinking she's more mature than she is, wants more and is incredibly selfish and poor at communicating and also has an affair with a woman who you could barely see because of the hair. How is this acceptable? How is this interesting? It's not! Stop making this stuff.

The acting was really good and the story was impressive. A seemingly happy couple was enoying life, but only one of them was getting satisfaction in the bedroom. Due to lack of proper mutual perception and communication, instead of dealing with the problem head on, they decided to experiment, and found a perfect candidate for a thresome. The triangle had electric vibes and incredible dynamics, but again, the couple experienced it differently. I wasn't planning on telling so much, but for some reason, there is minimum amount of characters, so here we go. I enjoyed watching it, the characters were believable and the acting was amazing.

Is that what happy ending means? Wait it means what? Oh I see - well then, no pun intended of course. Our two main characters have gotten to know each other well, but while the man thinks everything is peachy, the woman can't come ... to the same conclusion (so many puns and innuendos, I know ... and I love it). That being said, they decide (her suggesting of course) to try out something new. The problem of course is not directly addressing the issue at hand. Can't touch it - I reckon that avoiding talking about things is easier sometimes ... but only short term wise. Because talking to each other is one of the most important things you can do in a relationship ... let's see if they found out before it is too late ... well I know already, but I mean you ... and you and everyone thinking about watching this.

A truly brilliant performance by Joosje Duk. I cannot wait to see what the future holds as her skillset as an actress, as well as a director, is so versatile. The way she is able to turn the story of a "simple relationship" in such a manner to eventually open up the conversation about sexual relationships is magnificent. Taboo-shattering is vital in this field and I believe Duk's performance will be a key driving factor to in fact break some of these taboos. I was also looking forward to Gaite Jansen's performance ever since I watched Peaky Blinders. She definitely did not disappoint either.
