Les Liaisons Dangereuses

After watching this adaptation, based more in Cruel Intentions than in the actual novel, I'm entitled to write my own conspiracy theory about why Netflix keeps on releasing these outrageously bad flicks. Tall Girl, For Jojo and Marmaduke were not enough?

If Netflix really wants to survive, it should return to the pre-pandemic efforts to offer quality, but is doing the contrary with this adaptation. 0% in Rotten Tomatoes, for God's sake (compare that with the 94% of the original Dangerous Liaisons). The acting? Ella Pellegrini as Vanessa makes Cruel Intentions's Sarah Michelle Gellar look like Sarah Bernhardt. Overall, it's an agony to reach the end but if you're gonna criticize something you have to sacrifice yourself, and why? To tell you, people who hasn't still watch this, just skip it. It doesn't deserve a chance. Actually, I think Netflix is looking for the way of getting rid of its 9 billion debt... by filing for bankruptcy.

This movie does not deserve so low rating. It should be from 5-6. I gave it 8 to contra-balance poor reviews. It is a fun and light adaptation of an old, fascinating love story. I also like how they introduced social networks and rap into the story. In this sense, it goes with the present time. And finally, the acting is not bad at all, and the actors are very pleasant to look at.

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.

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.

Started out wrong with the meet cute that wasn't, and went downhill from there. None of the characters' actions made any sense in the context of the original story because this film doesn't even try to follow the original story. Big waste of time and I'm still not sure even what age group this is aimed at, since high schoolers would claim this whole thing as cringe.
