| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullFor its last hour, it's a rare piece of junk that only Joe Eszterhas could enjoy. |
| User ReviewAlan KYou'll want to (need to) see it more than once |
| User ReviewPrivate Uit was a decent movie. it was like a toned down version of the type of movie vanilla sky is. it's not full of sex though, as the title would suggest... although it's too bad because javier bardem is sooo sexy. |
| User ReviewEfrain PA well-built story, the actors' performance is quite good, Bardem made me burn... |
| User ReviewSpenser SAn excellent psychological drama/thriller/sex movie hah...it is really sexy and thrilling! It is almost hard to figure out the ending! I enjoyed every minute of it and it's in Spanish...I guess I'm biased becasue I love Spanish but oh well! |
| User ReviewRosabella DTo many different story lines at once. Confusing |
| User ReviewRicardo CIt´s a great Spaniard erotic thriller by Manuel Gomez Pereira. Javier Bardem shows one of his great first performances. |

Elsewhere, while investigating a murder case, Felix discovers Miranda's affair with Javier. I also felt betrayed at the end when I noticed the strong homophobic sentiment of the movie. It just shows how the Spanish society continues being so conservative. Like the prejudices behind this movie, the first negative reactions in Spain to the movie "Bad Education," where the main actors behave homosexually and bisexually, just serves to prove that a large number of people in Spain are still trapped by the sexual mores of the Catholic Church. But besides the issue of homosexuality, the smoking like chimneys, and the fact that the thriller could have been made better, the movie is one of the best in its genre. I specially liked Victoria Abril's performance. In Abril, the movie took a thirty-something women and made her the sexual object and the central sexual figure of the narrative. This contrasts with Hollywood's productions in which most females playing such roles are teenagers, twenty-something, or extremely glamorous. I think this movie illustrates by contrast how the U.S. society is so obsessed with youth, to the detriment of older women in particular. |
