Vernost

Start strong, and the trigger that leads one of the protagonists down the road of infidelity with the twist that results is interesting (trying to stay spoiler free here), however, the ultimate end point of the relationship is contrived and amateurish writing.

So many good films start strong only to have the writers outsmart themselves. Shame. This strong start could have gone somewhere interesting if the couple had been more realistic in the end.

Also, try and find the original Russian version. The main women lead dubbing on TUBI is okay, but the rest of the characters' dubbing is mediocre to poor.

The way the actress behave maybe not a good example but its a drama so I accept the way she revenge is purely the need of the story. If not, pointsless of this movie. Everything happen inside just give reality become fantasy. Marriage, vows are iron exist.

... "constant betrayal becoming an integral part of a double life"

... shown at the 30th Open Russian Film Festival receiving "Special Jury Diploma" ... "for the boundless faith of the actors in the director" ... in 2020, Vernost received main prize of the Russian Film Festival in Paris... Yevgenia Gromova as Lena is superb in this 2019 Russian erotic drama.. "portrayed as a sensual-woman in an unfulfilling marriage, who begins an uncontrollable double life of adulterous affairs"... majority of movies about infidelity-sex not nearly half as good as this film and its compelling performances

... there's many reasons to watch this production more than just one time... each time viewing can open up another insight into what the characters are feeling-thinking... the final two scenes alone can be thought of separately or together, and have different meanings at different times... it is definitely thought provoking for insights into today's modern relationships.

How well do we know our significant other? How well do we know how they think and what they think of? What their desires really are and what they are actually mad at, when they snap at us? Many questions and sometimes if a person is not fulffiled he/she takes it out on the person close to them.

In this case we have a female that is not entirely satisfied within her marriage. And of course she acts out. But even when she comes back to her man (no pun intended) and tries to pleasure him orally (one of the more "explicit" scenes of the movie), they cannot really connect. No pun intended again.

The movie is about love, but even more about finding pleasure. About being actually satisfied and finding "highlights" in your life. Sometimes that seems to be an adventure outside your own relationship ... but can that relationship survive this? Will it strain it to the point where it can't be held together anymore? There are more than a few questions raised - ah well again with the puns, but you get what I mean

A steamy and entertaining drama that keeps you engaged to the very end. Sensuality and explicit sexuality hold hands to make this kinky movie surprisingly effective.
