Many people, who went in expecting a slow-paced indie film based on its festival success and awards, were completely caught off guard by just how explicit it really was.
āAbsolutely disgusting movie,āone shocked user wrote.Another declared:
āNo, no. Double no. Absolutely not.ā
A third viewer didnāt hold back, warning:Ā āThis is way too much for Netflix,āĀ while another added:Ā āWtf is this doing on Netflix. I canāt imagine what it would do to the sensibilities of unsuspecting families opening it for a mindless Sunday viewing.ā
It originally received an NC-17 rating in the United States and was given an 18+ rating in Mexicoāa decision the filmmakers famously pushed back on in court. So, this isnāt the first time the movie has sparked debate.
āA classic. If you havenāt seen it, drop everything and watch,āone excited fan posted.
āIāve seen it many times, and notice something new with each viewing.ā
āThis movie doesnāt disappoint. Itās sexy as hell, and incredibly touching.āOthers praised it in even more straightforward ways:
āI really liked this one! They show everything!!!ā
