    Good, I think.....

    Thought for a while about this one, about how to review it I mean, and it all came down to, "yeah, but not quite......."

    Setting is good, a good level of moody without being too dark. Daddario is very good but you don't get to fully understand her character.

    If we could give half points would've gone 6.5, it's not a 7. Quite intriguing though.

    "Looking for Mr Goodbar" remake

    Right down to the main character being a teacher.

    Writers with new ideas are obviously rare

    6 for the movie, 10 for Alexandra's performance.

    Not only is alexandra probably the most beautiful woman in the world, but she is also an actress of extraordinary talent unfortunately very little known to the large audience, but in this film she gives an Oscar-winning interpretation, the character of Margaret is so intense, powerful, melancholy that remains etched in the memory. Alexandra is so great that even in moments of silence she manages to convey a myriad of emotions just with her gaze. Too bad the same cannot be said of the film, which is not as bad as some claim, but it could have been much better, the director cannot always keep the interest in what is happening , everything is just sketchy and if we exclude alexandra, the other actors as well as their characters are very flat, in return, the film has a beautiful photograph, with dark colors that actually fascinate. In conclusion, I consider this film only watchable, with a rating of 6, while the vote that Alexandra deserves is 10, immense actress, beautiful woman, the woman of my dreams that I hope to meet one day.

    Where is the love (hotel)

    If you are here just for the nudity, you may very well be dissapointed. Not because it doesn't exist (it does and quite plentyful), but because this is not what the movie emphasises. It is about an emotionally detached and broken character. To feel something - if you have to go extreme, that might not be a good sign.

    Daddarios performance in this is quite mesmerizing for so many reasons. The movie has its flaws and issues, but she really gives it her all. The vulnerability on display, the emotional rollercoaster ... it may not be fun to watch (I'd actually say it is anything but), but it quite the performance she gifts us with. Add to that the other characters and while the plot may be predictable, the way it is shot and the performances help the movie immensly.

    Not an easy drama and it may bug you and annoy you a few times, but this is meant to be - life is an adventure - some make it even harder on themselves, especially when their cries for help are not recognized ...

    Not as bad

    "Lost Girls & Love Hotels" isn't as bad as its ratings suggest. I really liked the beginning-the cinematography, music, and atmospheric feel were captivating. There's an intriguing quality to the narrative that draws you in. However, as the story progresses, you start to wonder what you're actually watching. That's when I checked the ratings and read some reviews. I started to agree with some of the reviews on how depressing it was and all that. Since there were only 10-15 minutes of the movie left, I decided to finish it anyway. Surprisingly, the movie ended on a decent note. It's a different kind of film that may find its audience.

    • Trivia
      The original cut of the film (filmed in 2017 and shelved until its release in September 2020) was longer and darker, showing more of a disturbing reality of love hotels and with more graphic and longer sex and nudity scenes. Before the film was released, it was cut down in order to tone it down and attract a wider audience. This is also why most of Alexandra Daddario's nude scenes were heavily edited. For example, originally the "sex montage" was longer and it showed Margaret having rough sex with more men, and it also included some topless scenes from her. Despite rumors, there never was any full frontal or lesbian scenes filmed with her. Reportedly, the original cut was about 45 minutes longer than final version. Neither a director's cut nor an unrated version has been released.
    • Goofs
      At 1 hour and 28 minutes Kazu is shown with his right hand bandaged with his pinkie finger missing. More than a minute later in another scene it is his left hand which is bandaged with the pinkie finger missing.
    • Quotes

      Ines: Do you know why the Japanese love their fucking cherry blossom trees so much? No, it's not because they're pink and pretty. It's because they don't last. Like everything else that's perfect and beautiful, it just... doesn't last. That's not the point.
