  • 1 stars out of 4

    A teenage version of a novel about world-weary adults; the attitudes of ennui and malice are an awkward fit on the young cast (even though they look too old to be still at school); but it has a little more bite than most movies aimed at a teen audience.

    Strictly For Teenagers

    A dumbed down version of 'Dangerous Liaisons' with a photogenic but inadequate cast and a relentlessly mediocre soundtrack.

    Where's the sex?

    As an adaptation of the 'les liasons dangereuses' story, this movie is sadly short of sex scenes. As such, it has wasted the potential in the story for manipulating the audience into hating Sabestian, and then seducing them back into loving him as he turns over a new leaf. It has also let out the air from the sexual tension present in the original story, and cheapened Sabestian's transformation and love for Annette. For a more artful adaptation, watch EJ Yong's 'Untold Scandal', which is a truly beautifully made film full of the delicious sexual tension, and yet sincerely moving.
