Never Ever ignore a "wife on heat" .. never.
Good start to mid , but it gets stupid and really bad in the end. and i think only END made the movie worse. because its not satisfying . because instead of taking this issue to morality / reality / Logical , it turned into feminism. like woman suffer from desire , she fulfilled her desire in forbidden way , she is a victim , she regret it and she is the winner in the end. so that makes the movie worse.
if there is a logical ending then maybe people would like it. because "Adultery / cheating always ends bad" it destroys any relationship , no matter whats the excuse or reasons. it never repair the trust.
----------spoilers----------------
the worst part in the end was, when she got kicked from house by husband, instead of regret or remorse , she goes for another one night stand, thats a really stupid idea here.
and another idea or flaw in movie. when wife said to husband in hospital" oh yeah i banged many men and every night But i still love and i always have been" wtf is that mean?
that dumb husband should dumb the trash and move on with kids. that would be better ending.

Nice try but something is missing
I have to say that I saw the movie again after about 10 years, as I do this time with my various old DVDs, and I decided to express my opinion. When I first saw the movie seemed okay. There is no bad acting, especially from Mi Grönlund and Nicke Lingell. Re-watching the film I noticed, despite the nice try, a rather pell-mell written script with many flaws, and an only executive summary of the disease, not overall. Let me post a few.
MARITAL RELATIONSHIP
A woman with compulsive sexual behavior doesn't avoid her partner. As much as he learns to keep it secret, for certain many times the symptoms on bed are evident. Nothing about that.
MOTHERHOOD
No mention about the effect of the disease on children. Almost impossible, and a simple infidelity has. Usually kids always tell the truth.
TREATMNET
Only group therapy is mentioned and then happy end. It's not the key part and there's a lot more and most crucial for aiding recovery. No mention.
How to say there is a happy marriage with no simple love scene between them, not explicit, showing no such a problem in marriage. On the contrary, we see him workaholic, avoiding her and not give in to her desires (love, trips). It refers more to desperation than addiction. Only to say she loves him? Only sudden passion?
Cliché are also not avoided. The husband is "stupid", he always finds out it in the end. His "revenge" is use of force (mid 20th century). His has no time for retaliation (too many ways, not extramarital affair, etc) and with a few words he easily believes forgives and trust. Really degrading.
Does a marital argument last a minute or two? Does a confession last less than a minute? If they lasted longer, they could show a lot more about the disease. Any case is individual.
The scenes between the heroine and the richboy look like two lovebirds. We see someone who says is careful and never meets anyone twice and finally dates only one person for a long time, without seeking anything else, gives phone number, yearn to meet him, avoids husband, ready to follow him everywhere and risks anything, without any feelings of remorse or guilt. It's deliberate infidelity. They must kidding with "It disgusted me, but I still did it." Before the treatment has been successful? Fake confession, fake happy end. With the sudden leap to end anyone can be of the opinion that the end is a tribute to female craftiness, not cure.
Pity, because an initially promising film ended in disaster. I don't know about production financial or time issues that might have been a brake, but they should achieve better presentation.
The result is an erotism film, not presentation of the disease, not drama and not romance (is there?). No message is getting across. And I agree a lot with the poor end. I believe that the producers had a hand on this destructive jump to visual effects end. Perhaps they thought that they gonna earn their money back with explicit scenes only. Personally, I wouldn't care if there wasn't one. From all these I don't disagree with the low rate. Mine is 4/10, only for the promising beginning. There are more flaws or what could be added or removed for a fuller plot, but I don't like to become tedious.
However many well done to Mi Grönlund, who I believe did her best despite the shortcomings in the script. That she didn't reappear enough the next years and was made by her own choice then fair enough, otherwise the star system...
Weak script, otherwise not so bad
I disagree with the previous reviewer about the ads.. I think the product placement in this movie is done with a good taste and it's not too obvious compared to many other movies.
Anyway, the movie itself could have been so much better with a better script. The movie is well-directed, actors are good and good-looking, atmosphere is fitting, and basically all the elements for a good film are there - BUT the script is totally unoriginal, predictable and boring. The screenwriter should have included some surprising twists to the plot. As it is, it resembles more a propaganda film for conservative moralists than an entertaining, fictional movie.

A Sensual but Never Vulgar Underrated Drama about a Woman Destroyed by Her Sex Addiction
Jonna Luoto (Mi Grönlund) is a successful executive in an advertising agency and has a perfect marriage with the workaholic constructor Niklas Luoto (Nicke Lignell). They live in a comfortable house with their two children and Jonna is very close to her sister, the artist Sanna (Saija Lentonen), who has problematic relationships with her lovers. However, Niklas does not satisfy the sex drive of Joanna that is addicted in sex and she has casual sex with strangers. When Jonna meets the sportsman born in silver spoon Aleksi (Jasper Pääkkönen), she has a love affair with the spoiled man, affecting her personal and professional lives. Meanwhile, her client and TV sex therapist Nora (Amira Khalifa) identifies her problem and offers to help Jonna to control her sex drive. But like any addicted, Jonna believes she can control her sexual impulses and refuses Nora's offer.
"Levottomat 3" is a sensual but never vulgar drama about a woman that has her life destroyed by her sex addiction. The engaging and erotic story has a good screenplay and performances of an unknown cast. The sexy and gorgeous Mi Grönlund is perfect in the role of a nymphomaniac mother and wife that does not recognize her problem and is ashamed to talk with her beloved husband about her sex drive. I bought this DVD a long time ago but the unfair IMDb User Rating had not encouraged me to watch this Finnish film. Yesterday late night I decided to watch it to help me to sleep and on the contrary, I saw "Levottomat 3" until the very last funny scene in the credits. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Ninfomaníaca – Sexo Sem Culpa" ("Ninphomaniac – Sex without Guilty")

Absolutely horrendous.
First of all I liked the first Levottomat because the main character is a bit like me, a cynical person, and overall the acting and the plot was okay. Minä ja Morrison(Levottomat 2) didn't annoy me but it didn't have any affect on me but this movie had: it just plain simply is the worst film I have ever seen.
The characters don't have any depth and the acting is just so bad. I've seen most of the actors in other films and they didn't perform bad then. Was the director(Minna Virtanen) just so bad that she didn't have any control of the actors? I think so.
1/10
