Graphic Desires

Quite a different erotic thriller type film about a character falling for a girl he meets on an app leading to an inevitable deep path. This film is definitely engaging for the most part as it isn't completely predictable yet it seems like it never knew exactly the type of film it wanted to be. Perhaps a throwback to 90's erotic thrillers blended in with this new age flavor. The lead character Franklin isn't entirely unlikeable yet he isn't likeable enough to root for. Solid acting from the cast- that isn't the problem. As a film, we see both him and his girlfriend Candida cheat (she cheats with his best friend- whom he never finds out). Another film where the "best friend" is the backstabber yet at the same time helping out the main character. Graphic Desires is quite bizarre. Featuring several intense explicit scenes throughout. A lot of bright colors and flashes are prominent. The film sort of loses its steam and goes it a different direction towards the last part. Around when the Franklin buys a guy and becomes more threatening and bold. We don't understand as to why he was so aggressive into finding this girl and why he cheated (gf cheated also) when his girlfriend was a clear standout. It wasn't too clear whether or not he knew that she was cheating. Quite a sad depressing ending with a lot of confusion in the final moments. The entire "deepfake" thing mentioned wasn't exactly clear. Several late twists seemed to be added for the sake of it. Such as the very ending scene. Where exactly did that girl come from and what did the conversation between her and the guy mean? Overall, not a bad film. There is definitely a lot of intrigue happening. Yet it does feel like it tries too hard by throwing in these twists without any real payoff. Felt sort of rushed in the end.

Had a difficult time figuring out what this was supposed to be. Soft * film, thriller or possibly both? Starts off reasonably well until the plot device kicks in - man becomes obsessed with woman he's seen. Certainly didn't pull that part off very well at all. Stupid reasoning for why he's so obsessed and also the execution. Without spoilers, the reasoning for going to the next step about concern for something bad happening and reasoning why others want to know is out of a bad * movie. Execution rest of the way - silly, stupid, awkward, almost without effort. Erotic, not really a thriller. So this film gets 1 star for plot, 3 stars for soft *. And tht should just about give you all you need to know - as well as the message this film leaves. Everyone really underneath it all just wants to do crazy sexual things given the chance. Alrighty then. Next...

I was very surprised by this indie movie. Another erotic movie with no plot and no acting? Not at all! The actors are good and the plot is full of twists. I am also very pleased to finally see an erotic movie with equal nudity from male and female actors! The director made very good choice of lightening and some scenes look very beautiful on screen. Congrats to all the crew who made a very good film with low budget! I recommend it.

It's not a great movie. It doesn't know what it is. It's padded out with so many soft core sex scenes that it felt like an 80's movie, a Basic Instinct, if you will. The central plot is ok, the acting is off, the scenes are weirdly underlit and the whole thing falls apart in the third act because none of it is believable.
