Relaciones peligrosas

This is a French contemporary adaptation of Dangerous Liaisons and I am afraid that it isn't very good. There were a few bits here and there that I enjoyed...like the lead actress who plays Celene (gorgeous with her contrasting eye color), and the rap song that tells the story in a very modern way.

It was pretty wild that they would have a modern retelling and then have a theatrical production of another modern retelling of the same story within the film. It's almost as though they couldn't make up their mind about which way they wanted to go.

The contrived social media aspect was truly horrible, but the worst part of the film is the change in the ending. Did they think the modern climate couldn't handle the real deal?

I thought the film Cruel Intensions did a much better job telling the story in a modern and believable way...so I am going to recommend that film instead of this one.

Best part of the film was the French Atlantic coast setting, but you don't get to see a lot of it.

Just don't waste your time with that movie. The acting is miserable. The storyline is miserable. Worst adaptation ever. I can't even find one single positive thing to say about it.

One of thenworst movies i have ever watched wasted 2 hours of my life. Do not watch it even if you are bored. One of thenworst movies i have ever watched wasted 2 hours of my life. Do not watch it even if you are bored.

Disgusting & wasting time movie .. I thought French teenagers better than this but unfortunately they seem to be without any morals these past decades! #Netflix you screwed it!

Based on the same source material, this adaptation brings nothing to the table. Neither actors nor the camerawork are remarkable and if someone felt that 1999 movie was too old and we need smartphones to make it look modern, then this thing could have a right to exist. We have enough adaptations and this is not the one to pay your attention to.

Want a modern one? Cruel Intentions hits it pretty good. Want something more like the original story? The one with Malkovich from 1988 is sublime. Somehow you want it to be French? You're covered: the one from 1959 features Jeanne Moreau and Jean-Louis Trintignant. All of the above share the same name, be it in French or English and they share not only a story, but a critical reception over time. With a competition like this, this new show must be good, but sadly it's not even close to any of the movies above. Maybe we will see a nice TV show made out of the original story and we could definitely use one, but this is absolutely not the one.
