CGiii Comment

Excruciating to watch...

Unconvincingly, set in Sao Paulo - they turned up the lights to simulate sunshine - written with a blunt pencil and directed with not a hint of insight into the world of bisexuality.

The dialogue is juvenile, artificial and grotesque - as is the acting.

A truly horrific experience.
