Vernost

... "constant betrayal becoming an integral part of a double life"

... shown at the 30th Open Russian Film Festival receiving "Special Jury Diploma" ... "for the boundless faith of the actors in the director" ... in 2020, Vernost received main prize of the Russian Film Festival in Paris... Yevgenia Gromova as Lena is superb in this 2019 Russian erotic drama.. "portrayed as a sensual-woman in an unfulfilling marriage, who begins an uncontrollable double life of adulterous affairs"... majority of movies about infidelity-sex not nearly half as good as this film and its compelling performances

... there's many reasons to watch this production more than just one time... each time viewing can open up another insight into what the characters are feeling-thinking... the final two scenes alone can be thought of separately or together, and have different meanings at different times... it is definitely thought provoking for insights into today's modern relationships.

Look I can't blame the Russians. They have lots of great state and film works. But like any country they also have a lot of garbage film and TV and this certainly is exactly that.

Frankly it is at the level of 1990's Lifetime Channel melodramas with atrocious acting and laughable dialoged. And the sex scenes are anything but erotic.

Lastly if you can't guess the "surprise ending" ten minutes into this, you'd better check if you have a pulse.

I typed in most of the alternate names even & it doesn't come up. I knew there was a reason I never actually signed up on this app. A complete waste of time....so.

The way the actress behave maybe not a good example but its a drama so I accept the way she revenge is purely the need of the story. If not, pointsless of this movie. Everything happen inside just give reality become fantasy. Marriage, vows are iron exist.

Start strong, and the trigger that leads one of the protagonists down the road of infidelity with the twist that results is interesting (trying to stay spoiler free here), however, the ultimate end point of the relationship is contrived and amateurish writing.

So many good films start strong only to have the writers outsmart themselves. Shame. This strong start could have gone somewhere interesting if the couple had been more realistic in the end.

Also, try and find the original Russian version. The main women lead dubbing on TUBI is okay, but the rest of the characters' dubbing is mediocre to poor.
