Also, it shows that FMUK has room for all opinions and no one giving someone else grief for having that opinion. o/ :cool: o/

Thank you :D

This film will definitely have more detractors than supporters though.

Here's my writeup. I thought it was desperately trying hard to be shocking and weird, but didn't have the balls to really explore what that is. It's a bit odd to make a film that's so much about simmering sexuality, yet be all coy about showing nudity. A bit cowardly, and unfortunately, also a bit boring.

Thankfully I didn't take my octogenarian dad with me to this film! Unnecessary brutality, gratuitous sex, and a poor poor storyline. Nicole Kidman what WERE you thinking?? That said I watched it to the end although there were a few walkouts.. I found it oddly compelling enough to want to know what happened to the characters but it was all just a bit boring for me. 3/10

I share the same view as many people who posted on here. The film to me definitely felt like they were trying to shock the viewers as I didn't see the necessity for certain parts. I watched it to the end but my poor friend sitting next to me found it too difficult to watch she ended up attempting to sleep through it.

There was nothing graphic in this film. The actors were fully clothed and you never saw any private parts.
It is all in the minds of the viewers.

Agreed. That just goes to show that people see what they want to see and not necessarily what they are shown.

I heard one woman complain that she "saw everything and was shocked to see the sex organs of both the man and woman". I swear she saw a different film to me! Dirty mare lol
