    Round in Circles

    The movie comes off as a Mexican David Lynch lite production with a dollop of 'artistic' nudity and sex thrown in for good measure. The characters for the most part are unlikeable, using each other in their own self destructive ways, so much so that you end up feeling sorry for no-one, even the young dancer who is able to walk away having come to terms with the painfully brief yet passionate affair. The deliberate use of circular moving camera work clearly meant to evoke something but this viewer was left none the wiser. When employed, a movie within a movie usually has some sort of analogy to the real life characters experiences but here again I was left stumped and it felt forced in for no apparent reason but to be strange in and of itself. Lynchian this was not but tried so hard to be, a la Mullholland Drive.

    Freaky Soft Porn.

    I don't know how this film ended as I couldn't get through it. It seemed to break off in to a second film, halfway through. I'm not sure what it was metaphorically meant to be or what Netflix' definition of cerebral is, but too me it was just weird.

    If I'm honest I forwarded to the sex to see if it was worth it and then turned it off. They were trying too hard to be arty and the acting was not that good. In fact I've seen better porn actors.

    This movie is boring

    The relationships are like setting a Christmas tree on fire; hot for a moment, and then burns out fast. It's confusing to follow. The dance scenes are reminiscent of La La Land, but far less professional. They don't really fit into the general storyline, save for the character's profession. It seemed to me like a very amateur attempt at porn. The description of the movie interested me; the product itself was nothing short of a disappointment.

    Khan Review

    Boring even the sex scenes is wasted, even few of such did not save the movie. I forwarded to watch only sex scenes but that too was dissapointing.

    Another absolute stinker.

    Pretentious, pointless arthouse softcore porn "drama". Terrible acting, even worse camera setups and editing. Turned it off after 30 min. I only finished it to say my review is fair. Even by the end, I was more irritated by the film's attempt at the resolution. Just a joke.
