Caerás

Or is believing deceiving? I thought it was a beautiful movie-very accurate and very wrong in many ways. It has beautiful camera shots, and the director and actors did an excellent job. I also loved the wardrobe, and the music was spectacular. I am going to try to find the playlist on Spotify. I did not want to keep interrupting the movie while I Shazammed every song. I enjoyed it too much. It's worth a watch!

It's definitely not really a thriller, but it is erotic - and the male lead delivers that side of it really well. The female lead doesn't quite bring the same chemistry, which was a bit of a letdown, but overall I was entertained.

What really bothered me was how the sisters were written: way too extreme and opposite to each other, which felt both annoying and unrealistic.

One more thing: watch it in the original language if you can. I can't even imagine how bad a dubbed version must feel for this kind of movie.

This movie was a major letdown for me. I love the lead actress Svenja Jung, and I have seen a lot of her work but this was not a good film. I thought she did a fine job, but the plot/script was absurd, many actions taken by the characters were pretty illogical and not believable, and just not super entertaining.

It was a sexy movie but that's all.

No depth to any of the characters.

It is a shame really because I love the concept of this movie! I think it could be made really well and I think Svenja is great for this stuff, but execution was poor.

I watched this in its original form in German.

Was für eine Schande!

This is a German language thriller set on the gorgeous Spanish island of Majorca. Lili, an auditor, arrives on the island to visit her younger sister Valeria. Lili practically raised Valeria since their parents died when she was 18 and her sister was 10. To her surprise Valeria is engaged to marry a Frenchman named Manu and the two have not only spent Valeria's inheritance, but they want Lili to agree to sell their mother's property on the island and they just conveniently have a real estate agent who already has a buyer lined up.

Meanwhile Lili meets Tom, a fellow German and bar manager. The two have instant chemistry...but the next day we discover there may be a more sinister story as the real estate agent approaches Tom about doing a job.

I feel like the film is more of a story about an elaborate con than an actual thriller...but maybe I have been spoiled by some really good Nordic noirs that have set my bar pretty high for thriller (which just happens to be my favorite genre).

I loved the setting, which was gorgeous. I thought the two leads were not only gorgeous but had smoking chemistry. I was a little creeped out about by Girasol and her bevy of young male seducers. Not really a crime where I am from, I think because most men on my island would be ashamed to take advantage of a woman in such a way.

It's the height of summer and I could feel the heat in this film making it a summer recommendation from me. It's light and breezy like a cool mock tail and would be a fun (adults only as there is sex and nudity) summer film.

My review is based on watching the film in it's original German language with English subtitles.

A glossy erotic thriller that is sexy, breezy, and pure escapism. It knows what it is, but is sooo fun to watch.

The story is fun, but given its an erotic thriller, I wouldn't take it too seriously.

The cast works well in the move (Manu is especially great!!). This makes the whole movie quite a fun ride.

Recommended watch!
