Why did the director or screenwriter or somebody shoehorn in multiple gratuitous scenes where the leads are nearly nude? It was so unnecessary and creepy. Like why did we have to see Iris change her clothes in front of her sister? Why was the guy (who was fit but not that attractive in the face as the movie portrays him to be) have to be shirtless during an argument? Why was Vanessa in a public place holding her boob for the longest time after a supposedly humiliating assault, or at least what she wanted to portray as such? Very odd choices that kind of disrespects it's actors and the intensity of the scene as well as the effectiveness of those moments. But it's not like they put much time, care and attention into the plot or even giving the lead an interesting podcast photo or figuring out how exactly live podcasts are recorded or what a producer does or using a shot that wasn't spinning to record those scenes, so...

I liked the concept of using the Biblical story for the basis of the plot in a non-obvious (except for the giving the characters the same names as the characters, i don't know many modern American women named Bathsheba), preachy manner, but man the execution was terrible. Bad acting, the same music that replayed over and over and was even placed on top of some other music once, also bad audio including a smoke detector chirping loudly in the beginning and end, terrible editing with scenes that went on longer than they needed to, unrealistic dialog, poorly written characters, oversexualizing some of the female characters and overly romanticizing the cheating couple in a way that distracted from the supposedly Christian themes... it was just put together sloppily. I believe it's possible to put together a good movie with a low budget and amateur actors but this ain't an example of that...

Chris Stokes' movies are all pretty much recycled plots of majority white cast movies like Fatal Attraction, Mikey, Sleeping With the Enemy etc with majority black casts, but this one, I'm just now realizing after over a year since it's been out, was next level in it's level of lazy plot theft. This movie has a similar plot, a similar scenes to his film Only 4 One Night, with only a few changes. Instead of the wife's sister staying over because the husband died, it's the wife's friend staying over because the husband cheated. This movie makes it more obvious that the husband was taken advantage of, the original movie blurs the lines too much. Both have an unbelievably perfect longtime married couple who act just like newlyweds, except in this one there's no kid. Other than those few exceptions, almost the same film. There's even a scene where two characters get it on in a public restroom in a club (ew) in both...
