I love this movie so much

Good movie but grossly overrated

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

It is difficult to discuss this movie without spoilers, so if you are a mature human being, who is not offended by raw sexuality, then go watch this movie first, then come back to read this review.Okay, so, the movie deserves a perfect score. Not because of its high production values, although they are fairly high, but because it does what movies are supposed to do: engage, entertain, and even provoke the expression of thought.The story-line serves to provide a unique view on relationships, freedom, and sexuality which is refreshingly free of "political" rhetoric, "correct" or not. Instead, it invites you to live life more fully, more freely, and to choose for yourself how to do this.It also shows that patience and time are needed to grow into your own maturity, apart from the conventions which may have been imposed in the past.The main message is: how to live without compromise, even if in the past, you had to compromise a lot.Of course, that is just my opinion, you are free to come to your own conclusions... and I expect, that the more people that watch it, the more opinions will be fostered.10/10, A++, an awesome movie. Also, watch until the very end, they are mid-credit scenes and end-credit dialogue.

An erotic film about a sex addict should at least cast a woman with a sensuous body. Belen Fabra is unpleasantly boyish and lacks the curviness to be truly sexy.This movie's plot is a silly excuse for stringing together a dozen sex scenes. There are a few good lines in the film, but the conversation is generally trite and superficial, and neither Fabra nor her partners ever says anything interesting."You expected a cultured, interesting man with a pleasant conversation?" her madam taunts her at one point. Well, from my perspective the answer would be a resounding yes!Clearly the sex scenes are central to this film. After a while you may find yourself fast-forwarding to the next set of gyrations. As long as the emphasis was on intercourse, I wanted more variety and creativity. The rape scene was not necessary, and a total cop-out!Then the movie tries to go all deep on us by introducing a philosophical, quadriplegic john.It was novel to see a daughter of Charlie Chaplin (Geraldine) playing Belen's grandmother. However, her part was boringly written and she underscored her insipidness by knitting while she rambled. This movie is probably best suited to voyeurs with a high tolerance for cliché and repetition.

This movie is for adults. That being said, it's about as far from pornography as one can get. There are sex scenes, but these are intertwined with the emotions of the characters, particularly Val, the protagonist. The scenes range from the subdued to the violent and one would have to be sick be aroused by them. It's too bad the film probably won't be distributed in the U.S. because of the MPAA's allergy to nudity. Anyway, the story is fairly unique, something of a modern bildungsroman in which a woman sets out to find herself. And, through a number a picaresque episodes, she either does or doesn't (note: no spoiler here). The movie is simply unique. That's why I'm giving it a fairly high rating. Just one warning: keep it away from kids and adults who feel that nudity and sex should be swept under the rug regardless of their necessity for the emotional impact of the story. One last thing: I was impressed by the acting.

Valerie Tasso wrote the novel in which this film is based. It appears the movie, either was released only in Europe and some foreign markets, or it went directly into DVD. The diary of this woman was brought to the screen by Spanish director Christian Molina with a screenplay by Cuca Canals that is clumsy as well as awkward.Our sole interest in watching the movie was because of the presence of Leonardo Sbaraglia, a good actor from Argentina that is equally at ease in his native country as well as in Spain, where he has enjoyed a somewhat good career, but alas, let us hope he does not give his work in this terrible film as a reference. We watched the film in a cable channel while overseas.Valere, the woman at the center of the story makes no bones about her addiction to sex. In fact, she can wear out anyone that goes to bed with her. She makes the mistake of falling in love with the bipolar Jaime, a man that suffered from premature ejaculation, something she never thought would happen to her.When she decides to become a professional prostitute, she joins the house of Cristina, a madam with lesbian tendencies. Val suddenly realizes that even though she makes a lot of money doing what she loves best, she is at the mercy of the basest types that will stop at nothing with her because they feel they own her.The film wastes Mr. Sbaraglia in, perhaps, his worst performance. A horrible Geraldine Chaplin is seen as Valere's grandmother and a totally out of control Angela Molina, plays the madam. Belen Fabra bares it all without any problems.This is a film targeted for voyeurs that will consider this movie as a work of art, no doubt.
