Pretty Thing

Sophie spots Elliot at a party where he is working as a waiter. She spends the night with him and for their second date, she takes him to Paris. Elliot is an awkward loner, living with his sick mother and has no friends. He quickly gets obsessed with Sophie and believes they are meant to be together. However, Sophie loses interest in him and moves on, leading to a break up Elliot isn't ready to accept. He becomes her stalker and tries to torment her. How does she solve this problem of her's, forms rest of the story.

It's a confused screenplay that doesn't want to be an erotic thriller entirely but also wants to play it safe by not wanting to paint Elliot as an outright creep. What's normal Sophie is something extraordinary for him and he doesn't have any history of violence. But these are just passed off as mere information and the writing doesn't try to explore this aspect. To makes matters worse, their relationship isn't steamy enough to set the obsessive story and the chemistry between them just doesn't work. Elliot is turned into an easy problem to solve for Sophie yet the stalking game gets dragged for too long and the abrupt climax simply showcased how clueless the writers got by the end. Pretty Thing suffers from a tedious screenplay and doesn't have a single redeeming quality in it's entire runtime.

Having seen over 6000 movies / series - I think I'm a pretty good critic and open to new actors / actresses coming into the movie industry seeing that the older famous actors are starting to go.

The general acting was good, film work was good, it's not of the highest standard but overall good. I personally felt the movie moved too slowly going forward and not actually setting the scene up.

Story line could have been a little more exciting or maybe a twist. It's an erotic thriller but if you were looking for a fifty shades of grey your going to be disappointed and for thriller it would I guess lean more to a drama.

Ending could have been better or a twist at the end. I gave it a 5/10 seeing it was not great yet not terrible.

Check it out if you like love stories with knife-sharp edges, where danger feels like foreplay and trust is just another tool for seduction.

Pretty Thing isn't your average romance - it's an erotic thriller with teeth. Think late-night cigarettes, lipstick on glassware, and secrets you only whisper in the dark.

Alicia is electric - every look, every pause, charged with danger and desire. Carl simmers just beneath the surface, unraveling in real time with a quiet, devastating intensity.

Come for the pretty faces, but stay for the slow-burn unraveling. It's messy, moody, and just the right kind of wrong.

A film for anyone who's ever fallen for someone they knew might ruin them - and liked it anyway.

The movie really nailed it , actors were top notch , no comedy things . Straight to the point . And the end seems a bit awkward (she is the one ). I hope they matched. Real love are for men, for women it does not matter. Psychic movie and a good one , everyone can enjoy it. Up and down movie, crazy duo, 2 different paths. Adventure type movie , drama, unpredictability , lies, sexual hypnotism. Addictive rough love. Mind control somehow horror movie . These 2 main actors deserve some more credit to stick to their acts . The whole story does not involve too many people and again really well put together movie overall.

I agree with other reviews that the ending was just meh. Nothing intriguing about it. What I find disconcerting is the review saying Elliot is "likable." He's a creepy incel stalker sociopath. There's absolutely nothing likable about him. Unfortunately Alicia Silverstone's character isn't developed at all, and so it's hard really rooting for her as well. No background, no real personality, poor Rachel Blanchard plays her sister for all of 3 minutes.

While the acting is decent and the plot gets interesting midway, it doesn't lead to an exciting climax. It passed the time with nothing else to watch but I wouldn't strongly recommend this one in any way.
