Movies

Since I am an Addiction Psychologist Specialist, in training, I was forced to watch this all the way through. This is actually one case scenario I have not yet battled with any client. But I do understand the therapist in this movie and how she used addiction lingo to get her message across to her client. She got it across to me as well. As a therapist, this is a case that you would use psychoanalytic theory to get at the harbored suppressed past, and I think they actually portrayed the addiction very well. I did feel very sorry for her husband (handsome husband) who is faithful and has this kind of woman for a wife...but love does conquer all. It is not so easy in real life but the message was real and there for anyone who really is looking! Thankyou, LadyAnn68

A little more romantic than most recent films about sex addiction like Nymphomaniac part 1 and 2, but thankfully the movie does not dumb down the condition. Instead, simplifies it greatly. The movie focus is on a happily married woman who fills a void in her life when an affair with another man triggers her sex addiction using a more romantic approach. The entire cast did a good acting job. I've never seen William Levy in anything before, but I thought he played a good "Mistress" in this film. Lead actress Sharon Leal and Boris Kodjoe were also good in the movie. Not as melodramatic as you would expect from movies like this, and it had some pretty awesome love scenes. A winning combo for me.

A happily married family woman and mother explains to a psychotherapist that she has given into a desire to have sex with assorted other men.That's the plot, folks - about 15 minutes worth, I reckon. Yet it takes an hour and three quarters to tell it in a film peppered with sex scenes which don't actually have any sex in them, substituting coy avoidance instead. Yes, US cinema continues its perverse relationship with sexual matters whereby it is preoccupied with sex, but avoids actually showing an frankness on screen - beware the nipple, civilisation will fall.This film manages to be lurid, lame, prissy and interminably tedious all at the same time. Do, please, try to avoid it.
