Sex and Lucia


"- Soon you'll fall in love with me.
- I think I just did."

Oh my god!! If I wanted to watch porn I would have turned on my boyfriend's computer! Sheesh. Netflix has been recommending this movie to me for so long I finally gave in. It wasn't terrible, and yes, I read the title, but I really wasn't up for so much gratuitous sex.

Any plot summaries I read can't really explain this film. Unfortunately I don't think I can do any better but her goes. Lucia is a waitress who has been dating a writer named Lorenzo for a couple of years. His life takes a dark turn, and after his mysterious death Lucia retreats to the island that haunted Lorenzo for so long, perhaps hoping to discover his secret.
Yeah, that sounds good! And remember, it's all fun until someone gets pregnant.

And the plot was good. I enjoyed how the story weaved in and out of these peoples lives. It does get kind of confusing. As a viewer, I had to assume some things until they were revealed. I know this technique is used in some movies in order to tell the story, but I don't think that was the case in this film.

I was just really turned off by the amount of unnecessary sex scenes. Who sold this movie? "We'll show everything, but penetration. It'll be hot." I'm so glad I wasn't in a movie theater for this one. The floors are sticky from soda alone, I could only imagine that screening.
