My review · Reviewed 04/24/2021

This movie was a bit of a mixed bag. I think the setup is good - a man has no regard for the women in his life and he ends up treating them badly. The worse he treats them the more they seem to want him. I think the film works best with this storyline as it is interesting to see the women at different stages of recovery. The rest of the movie is just so-so - I suspect that there is something lost in the translation as I think there is a more beautiful film in here that I could not access.
