Too many sweats, literally and figuratively.

***Matty: At least it's cool. I'm burning up.
Ned: I asked you not to talk about the heat.***

A twisty and very sweaty erotic thriller that had me surprised by where the plot went by the end.

I was watching through a Chinese streaming platform that censored the spicy moments, so I probably wasn’t feeling the full impact of this film’s eroticism. Despite that, what still comes through is this pair’s magnetism. It calls back to Double Indemnity - two people in the midst of passion being very immoral. It’s gritty and classy at the same time, with a mood and story structure of those old film noirs: tight and tragic. I’ll have to get this on physical media. Maybe they’re just doing yoga in that bedroom.

Couldn’t make a clearer case for everything is sexual, nothing is sexy these days. 

How far we’ve strayed….🥵

slow, sweaty, and full of tension. it really leans into that humid, noir atmosphere where everything feels a little dangerous and inevitable. the chemistry carries a lot of it, even when the story feels familiar. not groundbreaking, but it nails the mood and keeps you pulled in.
