This started fairly well, introducing a couple of clearly unmatched characters with little immediately in common apart from the carnal. However, for me it didn't just drift aimlessly from there but became increasingly less believable.
She's not 17 - she's an intelligent woman with a career teaching at University, and a son to look after. Whilst this attack of amour fou might plausibly affect her quite a bit, I just didn't buy the descent into outright stupidity and recklessness. Also, while presumably deliberate, the story tees up some interesting possibilities for the guy - such as "did he get his tattoos in prison?...; does he really have the job he says he does?..." but then does absolutely nothing with them.
Maybe I just missed the point, but for me it would have been more credible had she had fewer anchors in her life (such as the son), which would have made the disruption more credible. In any case, I'm not sure what this film is trying to say.
