Review of Addicted

Addicted (I) (2014)
1/10
Not relateable, so feels wrong watching it
31 July 2020
Firstly - the blurb should clearly state that the movie is about sexual addiction - as it's the type of topic that some people won't want to watch.

Next, I think the movie should have spent more time building context & getting us to relate to the main character first - before she started engaging in the distructive, erratic behaviour. Because it felt like we were watching someone ruin their perfect life (personal & worklife) for no reason. And we didn't understand why. So it didn't feel healthy to watch; or entertaining.

Lastly, the script & characters needed more depth. E.g. the Spanish guy was so unrealistic - I don't believe that anyone would be that forward straightaway & cringy too. Overall - the characters were not realistic at all.

Just to mention - I turned it off halfway (when her behaviour started to get repetitive) - but looking at the reviews it probs doesn't get better.
