I don't normally write reviews, but I had to for this one. I was actually looking forward to this film. It looked interesting and had potential. Then I watched it. I've seen porn films with better dialogue and acting. Nothing in this movie made sense or went together. It would've been better if my 10 year old daughter wrote and directed it. At least it was only one hour.

Dull and pointless

Shows Potential

This is a fantastic student film. I'm looking forward to the director's future professional work.
Like most student films, this work seems to showcase specific techniques that are of interest to the student director, but for which no larger context or conceptual direction is evident.
It's interesting how the director has taken remarkable pains to keep this film (barely) at a PG-13 rating level, even though the content is more suggestive of an R movie.
Even though it might not have full frontal nudity, this isn't exactly the sort of movie you would screen at a junior high school assembly or for a church group. The near-nudity that is nearly always presented in a sexual context is close enough.
Unfortunately, although the individual vignettes that comprise the film are well-done for a student work, they never quite gel together into the artistic whole expected from a more experienced professional. The potential is there, however, for the director to create something remarkable in the future.

Like everyone else, I was fooled by the high ratings

A sex fantasy with no nudity? Why bother?
texasboyy8 September 2022
R prudish women who watch Lifetime or Hallmark because they want sex without the "icky" nudity because it body shames them. The director is obviously one of those delusional people who think people can have sex without being naked.
Not sure if he's ever had sex, but the nudity is a major part of it. And to anyone who says "If you want naked people, just go watch porn," if you're watching this, you're watching porn made for people with phobias about nudity, one of THE most natural things in the world. Why waste your time? Go watch porn or a gazzillion other R-rated sex fantasies with actual nudity.

Give it a go

Oh Darling Nikki! A fairytale life turned upside down. Decent acting and a good enough script which will entertain you. Critics on here have never made a film before and have no idea what it takes to make one like this. Respect to everybody who made this, you got the true supporters here.
Good storyline
icgnintoes15 January 2021
The film did seem a little rushed. The script and the acting was there but I think the editing let them down a bit. Certain parts looked a little rushed and some parts looked like it dragged out to much. Still watchable but hopefully they can make a part two
Trash
sucasmag22 December 2020
Waste your time with this movie at your own risk. This movie is complete trash. cynvanity's review is just one meant to mislead us into wasting our time to watching it. I tried to keep an open mind but still couldn't make out whether a bunch of toddlers were behind the production team or what.
Pretty entertaining
mangosteen557 November 2021
The cast was beautiful but the film felt rushed. The story was there and cinematography was great but they just needed to re-work the editing to make it a little more entertaining. I liked the comparison between fantasy world and real life made it a lot better but again if they re-edited it without the extra parts more people would appreciate it.
Watch it!

Didn't know what to expect judging by these reviews but still watched it and I thought it was great. Nicole D'Angelo and James Duval both did excellent jobs in their role and writing the actual story. Looking forward to more from Nicole D'Angelo this year.
It's not bad

I seen some bad reviews but I toke a chance and it wasn't bad as people say it was. Good acting, the storyline does have it's flaws but the talent was there as was the production quality. Give it a go, i watched it to the end
Weekend movie

Loved it
terrickdennis6 November 2021
Interesting plot. Darling Nikki is about a woman who juggles men in her mission to find her final ultimate love. She then falls into a twisted fantasy and can no longer distinguish real life to her so-called secret one. Brilliantly done and though it's a little low budget the actress who plays the lead made it work. I liked it a lot.
Good film
namajack10 January 2021
The film is about a woman who juggles men in her quest and mission to find her ultimate love. Things get mixed up for her when she can no longer differentiate between real life and fantasy. I thought it was cleverly done and for a indie it's an excellent production.
Gloriously bonkers

Warning: Spoilers
A bit of a slow start but, if you stay with it, you are rewarded with all manner of madness. Alice in Wonderland with Alice represented by a high class prostitute and a female mad hatter, amongst other deranged nonsense. Hints of Ophelia thrown in for good measure. I didn't spot any obvious literary references to the various manic "Johns" who seemed to be performing for the ladies, rather than the other way round - but they were fun regardless. Not to everyone's taste but, if you like that kind of thing then it would be just the kind of thing that you like. As it happens, I did like it. That may say more about me than the film.
Hot
