Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

InformationRap 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.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Desertman84 Jan Dara is movie about a person,who was raised in an immoral household, that never had a chance to escape his destiny. The main character, Jan Dara, played magnificently by Eakarat Sarsukh, never got a chance to experience true love but instead lived life having a different beliefs and outlook about sex and relationships. You feel sad for the him as he was raised differently due to the complicated people that he lived with and he never get to experience happiness and fulfillment in life. The movie is worth-watching. It has a mix of drama and eroticism. The acting was good but especial mention must be given to Sarsukh as he was able to get the sympathy of the viewer. The only thing about this film is that people can get confused easily especially to those who doesn't speak Thai to keep up with the complexities of the story and the character. It really requires 100% attention to fully appreciate the highly recommended film.

im_your_cuddler8 The movie is about Jan Dara, telling his childhood to manhood experiences under the roof of his own home. The cruelty of his father that lead him to hate him more as he grows old. Jan Dara's sexual experiences from her sister's nanny, mistress of his father who taught him well as the story progress. This movie is well told, superb cinematography!, excellent performance from the main characters in the movie. I must say that the flow of the story is well defined unlike the usual foreign movies I've seen. The so-called "erotic scenes" are subtle yet the passion is can be seen and felt. Gonna give this rate of 10 as the highest! worth it! never mind those critics who keep on saying that this movie is a crap! Well...I beg to disagree! Watch this, and find out for yourself...Bye.

ric_lawes Good lighting, lousy editing, poor sound and yawn... did I mention slow? Director is in keeping with most Thai films i.e. they do not know how to keep the pace of the story going and edit points are always way past their 'use by' date. At any rate, it was 'almost' entertaining.

Gordon-11 This film was very controversial when it was released in Hong Kong. Not only was it the first movie which Christy Chung's (who is very famous in Hong Kong) first erotic film, it also supposedly starred a 15 year old teenage man. Later the age issue was cleared up and the guy was actually 17 when he made the film.Anyway, back to the film. It was a story which had a bit of everything. Family tension, love, aggressiveness, revenge, rape, hatred. This is not just erotica, but in fact a tragic story of a man's childhood. I thought the acting was good. The father's anger, the sister's aggressiveness were portrayed beautifully. The scene when Jan Dara rubbed onto the Night Mistress' breast was hilarious!If you are not disturbed by the complicated sexual relationships in the film then this movie is enjoyable. It gives the audience something to think about, especially raising the awareness of the public towards the rape victims.
