Delicious

A film that shows that Netflix has sunk deeper and deeper into the pit. There is nothing appealing or logical about the film. It has such a ridiculous and artificial network of relationships that if you get to the end of the film, it becomes clear that it is a waste of time.

A wealthy family living in Germany comes to their home in France for a vacation. One night, they think they hit someone with their car. When they get out of the car, they see a girl with a bleeding arm. They take her home and bandage her arm. Then the girl turns the lives of all the family members upside down.

When you write the subject, it may seem appealing. But the film is so ridiculous and boring. An ugly girl seduces them all for some reason. Plus, most of the family trusts the girl more than their own daughters. Plus, all the family members are easily prone to straying. The family, which acts so elite, becomes a toy in the hands of a group of scoundrels, etc. Etc.

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...

I was in the mood for horror and at first, wasn't sure where this was going. I expected the usual variation on a theme of a typical slasher film with jump scares and a soundtrack building up to what was going to happen; but then I remembered this wasn't a Hollywood-made movie. I settled in and enjoyed the slower pace and gradual unveiling of the horror. European films tend to reveal terror more subtly, rather than relying on shock tactics of U. S. films I grown to be accustomed to. I appreciated the slow day-to-day feel and building of tension through their daily interactions, secrets, and lies. While the socio-political message was clear, the current real-world political climate makes fiction feel less frightening. This movie was just the right mix of horror to satisfy my craving.

Side note: On a few levels, this film reminded me of the 1983 UK/US co-production film "The Hunger" (David Bowie, Susan Sarandon, Catherine Deneuve).

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.

'Delicious' as described, follows the life of a wealthy German family on a getaway trip who happens to cross paths with an injured, crazy lady - though they are not aware of this yet. 'Delicious' after viewing can be summed up as a wannabe artsy film with a dialogue written by artificial intelligence. This is one of those films where a deep message is attempting to be conveyed to the audience but at the expense of major plot holes and poor dialogue, the story suffers and becomes an incohesive mop. With abrupt cuts and scenes that add little to the story, the decisions made by these characters are questionable. Why is it that a stranger who becomes a maid is suddenly adored by everyone in this family, even over the people they have spent their entire lives with?

Bad decision after bad decision led to a predictable ending and an even moreso ridiculous story. Visually, the cinematography is absolutely stunning with great color grading and picturesque shots. The actors in the film were average but that means little when the dialogue was horrendous. Labeled as a thriller, the film becomes very horror-esque as it moves along, which was predicted what with the perfect nature displayed in the beginning. 'Delicious' attempted to produce art fueling "Eat the rich" propaganda, but it seemed to miss the mark and in itself became a pretentious film that will be remembered for being a waste of time.
