Audience Reviews for Bitter Moon

Apr 24, 2020

Darkly comedic, especially the (present day) Oscar & his developing relationship with Nigel.

Normally I love Polanski's work, but I didn't know what to think of this movie. First of all it's really long, and there's a lot of talking. There are a lot of erotic scenes, and most of them are good. I didn't know weather I liked it or not, but overall it's an okay thriller/drama.

Supposed to be trashy fun, but it's mostly just trashy.
