The movie has potential, starting from the cast which is spot on. It is visually captivating, and it succeeds in taking the viewers along the sexual self-discovery of angelic Anais.
However, I found it lackluster in terms of plot. I didn't like the character June at all, including the performance of Thurman, very repetitive and unnerving.
It is inevitable to compare this movie to Kaufman's previous work, The unbearable lightness of being,which is much more erotic, with far superior photography and a much larger scope thanks to the background of historical relevance. Here it's just sex, always unfaithful and quite dull more often than not.
