Reviews
Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict
Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
TxMike I watched this on DVD from my public library. Based on the title it tells a story that could be any addiction - drugs, alcohol, sex - and the main protagonist goes through the various phases. And there is a ray of hope at the end.Sharon Leal, 40-ish, is Zoe Reynard and has formed her own company, "Zoe and Company", to represent and find financial opportunities for artists. She apparently is good at it but the one time we see her approaching a new client she is rather passive. Maybe because she was attracted to him.Indeed he romances her and agrees to be represented mainly because he wants her. She in turn has developed a sex addiction and although she has a great family and loves her husband, she cannot control her lustful desires.This drama plays out more like a "B" movie, especially during the last half hour or so. It is interesting but not too memorable.Boris Kodjoe is good as the architect husband Jason Reynard.
devilz_wishbone This movie is a mature audience movie It's not an action, Sci-Fi, romcom.It's a drama movie which is clear from the trailer gets caught up on an affair caused by her pursuit for that missing element of her life.The movie obviously digs deeper I understand people's comments about the continuous sex scenesHowever what your missing is the storyline is a slow build up To explain not her behaviour and addiction to sex but the implications it has on her family life. To get a feel for that you have to appreciate she's gallivanting off to have sex, having to lie, make excuses up, being distracted from work and like all catastrofes it is not one singular event but a multitude of events that come together at the same time to set the scene.This movie portrays this brilliantly It's a drama, it's about infidelity, about the lack of time for family or husband due to having to make time for others to satisfy her addiction.Watch the movie and watch the impact on the family not the scenes of sex.I said it's a mature movie not just due to the sex but because you have to appreciate the story without it being spelt out
syyranoo I really don't understand such a bad reviews and i was provoked to write one because. This movie isn't perfect, acting can be better, so the script.But the way it approached womens infidelity, it was great. This is certainly a subject that is not talked about often, a woman is unhappy in marriage, her husband is lovely, but she misses something,,and she falls for someone beautiful and exciting. Of course it is not right, of course it is not OK. But if it s a man, then everyone would cheer up, and since this is a woman, then she is a wh.... She was raped when she was little, and it emerges at the end of a movie, everything comes from childhood...I believe that this movie is perfect to watch for married couples, so they could work on their relationship always , trust each other, and talk to each other always...This could happen to everyone, so be careful , and watch the movie!!!
Terry Halmshaw Wow where to begin..everything about this movie is horrible, I suffered for 40 minutes through this drivel in the hopes the lead actress (Sharon Leal) would do some of her old 'Boston Public' magic and make the film worth watching, however all she did was drag an already drowning film under.From the outset the film looks feels and sounds like a daytime soap opera, the acting is so bad I felt embarrassed for the actors. I Don't know if the producers of this crap live in the real world, but in my version psychologists do not have sessions that run all day and into the wee hours of the night....what the hell?, and since when do supposed 'successful artists' drive beat up old 68 Chev's with the paint literally peeling off?....Believe me there is NOTHING in this movie worth taking seriously.What a shame Sharon Leal couldn't find something to actually bring her back into the light, instead of having the lights turned off and the door slammed shut.Terrible, just terrible.
