I gotta agree with Foler. Not sure why I'd ever watch more than the Mr. Skin summary of this (hopefully she gets naked, otherwise what is the point?). She's an absolute smokeshow, but I don't need to see her battling with the trauma of being given everything she wants because she's hot.

I thought the little blonde was kind of getting there because she reminded me of a young Emily Procter, but then saw her name is KANSAS BOWLING.

This sounds like the of movie that would get shown on Showcase or whatever, those foreign films you watched for the sex scenes? That’s what this reminds me of.

Ever sit through one of those and there were no tits or anything? Fucking tragedy.

Looks almost as good as Rochelle, Rochelle - A young girl's strange, erotic journey from Milan to Minsk.

Let's be honest, I watched this hoping for gratuitous nudity. Sorry to disappoint everyone but it is definitely not that kind of movie. It was actually not bad for what it was, I think. Very much a movie where Naples the City is a character and all the people, scenery, entertainment is highlighted against the main character's journey through life. It is really just about Parthenope growing and learning over the course of like 60 years (I think it was from 1968 - 2023). Is she a mythical creature born out of the sea, like a siren.

I mean it is very much an Italian movie, is the easiest way of saying it. I'm not familiar with any of Paolo Sorrentino's other films but get the impression they may be similar.

6.5/10 is fair, it wasn't terrible or anything, but you really gotta be in for nothing to really happen except following her life and experiences through Naples.

For those keeping score there was some nudity with a "public" sex performance (not Parthenope) and a scene where a priest finger bangs her while the camera shows us a closeup of his face smoking a cigarette. So, yeah... temper your expectations.

Well, that settles it. This thread should just be deleted.
