Couldn't Really Care About the Characters Here
12 September 2019
You're asking a lot of your audience to have any empathy for or connect with characters that are terribly deceitful. Such is the case here with 2 of the 3 main characters, Lauren (Sarah Kolasky) and David (Richard Clarkin).

Lauren is seemingly in a rather amiable 5 year relationship with Tom (Daniel Bierne). You can see a few bumps in the road there, such as Lauren's frustration with Tom being unable to find employment as a urban planner, and some differences in their sexual appetites

However, when David is appointed as Lauren's new boss, it will rekindle a brief but passionate affair they had years ago. David is an egotistical and manipulative jerk, but that doesn't stop Lauren from encouraging their new steamy affair, with nary a thought about the consequences. Of course, they'll be a price to pay for all concerned.

Look for a number of erotic and explicit scenes, as well as nudity and coarse language. To note also, English subtitles are quite small.

Overall, the acting is strong enough to make the characters believable here but, as mentioned, I couldn't really care about them and that doesn't make for a very enjoyable viewing.
