Instinto

I think it was a pretty good movie. The acting was so nice to watch and Carice is very beautiful. The ending was very unsetisfying and leaves a lot of questions open. Some parts of the story line are also quite vague. Overall the story line was good and the movie in itself wasn't bad either.

Vulnerability, manipulation, loneliness, fascination of evil and a not perfect but far to be bad story. A psychologist, a sexual predator behind the bars and a relation giving more its ambiguity than explanations. Good acting, fair accents and good kick to reflect about situations and...instinct. The good point , obvious Carice van Houtten and the special aspect - the relation of Nicoline with her mother.

Missed some Interaction and depth. Acting it self was strong.

Too bad, the dynamic between female therapist and male patient could have been a great set up for a movie. Im a therapist in a forensic setting and could tell you 10 stories that are real and way more interessting. They are completely missing the point in how it works and how it happens that a professional falls for a patient. Shes supposed to be expererienced at her job,but nothing she does makes sense to me, a real therapist

Yes there is the cliche of the bad boy with a soft side (anyone reading this I also like bunnies/rabbits and I'm available at this very moment) - and then there are even more cliches of women falling for them. No matter their profession, standing in life and/or their respective job.

But this is a bit different - it goes directions you may not expect this to go. Especially the end third is way disturbing on so many different levels. Yet the way the two main characters play it, is more than intriguing - no pun intended. I'm not sure if there are translation issues, I watched it original with subtitles, but I can say that it is a visual movie and one that lives with what the bodies of those involved tell us (do not expect too much nudity or sexual situations). There is one in particula that was quite baffling to me, because it didn't make much sense (a bunny pose from Carice) ... but it is refreshing to see that this is not as predictable as some other movies with similar themes.
