... she is beautiful.. that's the movie
bjarias3 October 2021
... outside of seeing her naked... and there's LOTS of that.. there's really not much else to get into regarding this film... there's no caring about either one of them... and the fact alone they're getting together once a week for sex becomes very boring over seventy-six-minutes.

The whole lot
kosmasp21 April 2021
It may be just once a week, but we get exactly that moments - the once a week multiple times. In case the movie is called something different, the once a week thing is the german and I reckon international title of the movie. A movie that is quite sexual and shows quite a lot of skin - and yet it could have done with a little more flesh .. script and character wise. No pun intended.

Kudos to the actors, especially the female here, because they do go all out (sorry puns do attract - which also can be said about the main characters/actors here, depending on whom you feel more drawn to). You may get into certain things that others may feel different about. The talking over the intercourse can be interesting, annoying, irritating and/or other things.

After watching this, you may question your relationship if you have one - I don't personally think it is able to make a profound impression on most viewers - if you are one of the as I would think exceptions, than good for you. Cherish that and take away what you may feel is the message of this. Again though, hats off (and all other clothes) to the actors! This was anything but easy on them.

Her husband wins the booby prize
glen_esq7 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Two married people cheat on their spouses and have sex with one another week after week after week. How romantic!

Things begin to sour on the lovebirds when she discovers she has a conscience and realizes what an awful wife she is. Him - oh he's just happy to keep cheating on his wife with whom he has a special needs young boy. Husband of the year.

The wife tells her boyfriend how her husband came from a big family and wanted many children, but she's unable to have them. What a wife! A possibility is that her guilt about being barren spurs her on to be so cruel to her husband.

The woman finally breaks it off when she realizes how much her husband must love her for staying married to her despite her being barren. Yes she's a deep thinker. Wonderful to hear her thoughts on marriage.

After the affair's over, her husband gets his cheating wife who can't bear him any children. What a lucky guy.

It's a relatively short feature film, I would like to have seen several scenes added with the woman spending time with her husband. To see her wrestle with her guilt when she was with her husband, and show us her thinking as she rationalized over and over to go have sex with her affair partner.

Not bad

This movie reminded me of 365 days. The other movie was hot and naughty but this one is average. Romantic scenes are good though.

GOOD INTIMATE FILM.
andrewchristianjr28 March 2021
Good intimate film. It's sad. Maybe the characters should be explored more to convince the audience that the film doesn't look like just about sex.

Deep movie
epremal17 April 2023
Its a very deep movie, with excellent performances by both lead actors. And guess what, just two actors in whole film, but still it doesn't get boring.

Long camera shots gives the chance to express the emotions well.

Although too much skin is there, its very nicely filmed, and should not by typecast into a sex film.

There are few missing links in story like how they met and what led them to sex, also in first meeting they decide not to meet again but then they are shown meeting every week, when was that decided? Also they seem to meet at female's house but then their talks seems like the male has no idea who she is. Despite this all, its still overall a very nicely made film.

True Love
pembekeci27 December 2022
In most movies, you will not find the opportunity to see and understand a love like in this movie. In every second of the movie, you can easily feel the purest state of love that a woman can feel for her husband, with the comfort provided by the powerful dialogue and the highest level of acting.

You should see the movie if you don't want to miss the chance to get the best of what it means to commit yourself to a partner, a relationship, and maybe even want to have a child.

The contribution of the script and the direction in passing these feelings to the audience is indisputable. Of course, the incredible performance of the two leads cannot be ignored.

The film is a masterpiece which demonstrates that "blips" can never defeat a great love, and are a way to understand it much better :)

I'm sure the audience will want to watch the movie many times over.

Definitely worth a watch 10/10.

Holy corn nuts!
