The acting was really good and the story was impressive. A seemingly happy couple was enoying life, but only one of them was getting satisfaction in the bedroom. Due to lack of proper mutual perception and communication, instead of dealing with the problem head on, they decided to experiment, and found a perfect candidate for a thresome. The triangle had electric vibes and incredible dynamics, but again, the couple experienced it differently. I wasn't planning on telling so much, but for some reason, there is minimum amount of characters, so here we go. I enjoyed watching it, the characters were believable and the acting was amazing.

All is well ... that ends well? (aka Let's talk about sex)
kosmasp3 September 2023
Is that what happy ending means? Wait it means what? Oh I see - well then, no pun intended of course. Our two main characters have gotten to know each other well, but while the man thinks everything is peachy, the woman can't come ... to the same conclusion (so many puns and innuendos, I know ... and I love it).
That being said, they decide (her suggesting of course) to try out something new. The problem of course is not directly addressing the issue at hand. Can't touch it - I reckon that avoiding talking about things is easier sometimes ... but only short term wise. Because talking to each other is one of the most important things you can do in a relationship ... let's see if they found out before it is too late ... well I know already, but I mean you ... and you and everyone thinking about watching this.

... what an absolutely-pleasant-surprise

... Netflix has lots of productions involving sex as an integral part of the storyline... this little film coming from the Netherlands treats its subject better than many others... there are no weaknesses in this wonderful-charming film... script is spot-on (npi) and every actor never comes up short (npi)
... for every couple having problems in the bedroom.. how many actually-really talk their way into solving issues... how much of the divorce rate could-would be reduced by communicating with the other-partner... it's like a little self-help session for those wanting better in their sex-life.

Splendid directing
znmiddeldorp4 September 2023
A truly brilliant performance by Joosje Duk. I cannot wait to see what the future holds as her skillset as an actress, as well as a director, is so versatile.
The way she is able to turn the story of a "simple relationship" in such a manner to eventually open up the conversation about sexual relationships is magnificent. Taboo-shattering is vital in this field and I believe Duk's performance will be a key driving factor to in fact break some of these taboos.
I was also looking forward to Gaite Jansen's performance ever since I watched Peaky Blinders.
She definitely did not disappoint either.

Beautiful Execution on the Subject Matter
adamfrinsco-2774827 December 2023
They set out to film a beautiful movie about an authentic relationship that gets complicated due a naive fantasy of a threesome to enhance their love life. They delivered just that. Perfectly executed.
Great soundtrack, directing, camera angles, scenery, acting, etc. The entire dialogue was authentic and honest.
The only reason I'd not recommend the movie to someone is if they get uncomfortable with the subject matter. But if you're open to exploring the concept in a well crafted way, I'd definitely recommend giving this film a shot.
Sweet and short as well. I think they did all they could with the subject and the story delivered a natural arc.
