Delicious

Very bad. It is a stupid version of Parasites, but made by braindead people trying to be smart. Chatgpt would have done better. Please read others people reviews and skip that. Ridiculus, just small example: You hit someone, and instead of taking them to hospital you take it home ( you can be a good person, but take in a totally stranger when you have kids...) from there it just goes more and more stupid. Oh...i need to write 600 words...a waste of time...mmm it tries to give msg of eat the rich (rich are just rich but stupid so we can outsmart them)...i get it...im poor too...but i don't think that all rich people are so stupid...the only stupids are the one watching the film...me included.

As "Delicious" (2025 release from Germany; 102 min) opens, we get to know a family from Frankfurt. The husband and wife and their 2 kids arrive in the south of France, After a nice dinner out and with the husband possibly drunk, on their way home their car hits a young woman... At this point we are 10 minutes into the movie.

Couple of comments: the premise of this movie is as familiar as it is appealing: well-to-do family takes in a wounded young woman and it's no long before we sense that not all is quite what it seems. The movie is plot-heavy so I won't go into further details. The movie reminds me of "Parasite" and "The White Lotus", except that "Delicious" provides a long (and at time great) leadup, only to badly misfire in its concluding half hour, leading to a massive letdown. Austrian actress Valerie Pachner ("The King's Man") plays the lead as Esther, the couple's wife, and does the best she can under the circumstances. I can't say that I was familiar with any of the other performers. The original score of this movie is courtesy of Oscar-winning composer Volker Bertelmann (a/k/a Hauschka), and is excellent and prominent in the movie.

"Delicious" premiered at last month's Berlin film festival, and it recently started streaming on Netflix. Netflix suggested it to me based on my viewing habits which includes lots of foreign films and TV series. If you are in the mood for a family drama out of Germany, I'd readily suggest you check this out, and draw your own conclusion.

You can tell where this movie is headed within the first 15 minutes. From there, it drags itself to the grand "reveal" like a wounded animal, testing your patience at every turn. By the time it finally gets there, you're practically begging for mercy-just wrap up this mess already. The cinematography is good (1 star is for cinematography only) and the actors do their job, but none of that can salvage a story that feels uninspired and, frankly, not worth the time. It's a frustrating, drawn-out exercise in patience.

Worse, the film seems to think it's clever, mistaking unnecessary complexity for depth. It drags you along, teasing some grand revelation that never quite delivers and by the time it does, you just don't care anymore.

I regret for watching this movie, there is no really a story behind, I don't know how they end with such movie , please don't waste ur time it's totally useless, I regret to watch it , nothing to talk about from the beginning with end , a little girl that leave that place , the son who eat the meat of his father and figure out his ring in his mouth, and we didn't even see the reaction of the boy about that , trying to manipulate the Family psychology but it is not , the father who write an article that was fake and what , not big deal with that to lose his mind and don't have motivation to continue in his work !!! 😞

We did not read anything on this one - I'd actually prefer spoiler. When you are ready for Zombiland type of movies, or horror movies, then its ok. But this one was kinda promising - great work of camera man, not a bad casting and acting was quite good, but then when you realize already close to the end of the sick idea of the scenarist and its just disgusting. Its killing whole thriller approach of the movie by disappointing viewers with a primitive whole idea of the movie. I wish I could skip watching this one, but unfortunately i cant forget this anymore.

Netflix seems doing a survey of the most bloody and disgusting storylines for their movies. Really thinking to unsubscribe from them...
