About

You may enjoy this if you’re up for an erotic, puzzle-like drama where relationships and storytelling blur together; Not for you if you want a clear, straightforward plot or minimal explicit content, like in Lust, Caution.

Pros: bold erotic drama; intriguing reality-vs-fantasy; island atmosphere | Cons: confusing nonlinear story; heavy coincidence; explicit nudity throughout
