A.C.’s Review: Playing in a small number of theaters currently is a drama that asks the question what could cause a successful businesswoman, with a great husband, beautiful children and a great home risk it all by engaging in not one but two affairs pretty much simultaneously? The answer is sexual addition, a topic not done to death in TV and film in the way that alcoholism and drug dependency have been.
The
movie tells the tale of an art agent named Zoe
who finds herself going astray when she meets a new artist client, a suave Latin lover type who is physically
perfect and has charm that could sell ice cubes to Eskimos or lawn mowers in the Sahara.
Soon Zoe is actively cheating on her
loving architect husband as she neglects her business and her family. And
before long she’s also picked up a biker boyfriend who introduces her to an
underground swinging culture that looks straight out of the Tom Cruise movie Eyes Wide Shut. Zoe
actively seeks counseling from a supportive psychiatrist but will that be
enough before her secrets explode and destroy her life?
This
movie was basically described as Fifty
Shades of Gray for African American women as Zoe and her family were A & A. I was
interested in the movie as the actress playing Zoe was played by Sharon Leal who I used to enjoy on several TV programs and she was easy on the eyes
so I decided to give it a chance. It was fairly engaging with just the right
amount of suspense though nothing to really make it stand out amidst the many
movies that I have seen this year but no regrets.
Best Scene: Zoe prowling the bar
where she picks up the biker.
A.C.’s Rating: Matinee/borderline DVD
