    really good

    The lead actress is great. And the boy was good too.

    It's a bit dark. Steamy, irritating, cringey, tense, awkward, sad and good acting!

    The story develops well, I like the cinematography and they live in such fancy homes.

    The women are very beautiful in this movie! I really felt for the lead character, but she was so sad (pathetic). Her decisions were not good, but I can see how her desperate loneliness drove her to make poor decisions. The first one being to message him. I wanted to scream at her through the screen sometimes "noooo don't do it girl" But she did .. and you'll have to see the movie to see the fallout!

    Who is stalking who?

    At the start it seems like Markus is stalking Anita (not confirmed) , but very quickly turns other way around. Anita is obsessed with Markus and does unforgivable things. Not a thriller in the slightest but a warning example of female stalkers and predatory behavior.

    I really felt for her.

    During this movie I found myself watching this woman, doing and taking it all wrong from the start. And as I was starting to judge her I couldn't help but feel for her. With that being said, I cannot understand why they describe the movie as a thriller, for if it is, it must be a very light form of it. Secondly, it's never proven if she was followed or stalked by anyone, and if she was, it wasn't proven by whom. Anyways, good movie.

    An obsession gone wrong

    This movie surprised me by how much kept me invested with the story. It's not for everyone and takes turns that other films wouldn't. But aside from its flaws, it is a steamy and well crafted character driven drama with erotism.
