​"Faithfully yours".

Watched English version of Dutch movie "Faithfully yours". 

This movie is directed by André Van Duren. Written by André Van Duren and others. Produced by Rachel Van Bommel. Cinematography by Josje Van Erkel. Music by Lauren’s Goedhart, Fons Merkies. It features Bracha Van Doesburgh, Elise Schaap, Matteo Simoni, Hanna Hoekstra, Nasrdin Dchar, Gijs Naber. Film runs for about 1 hour and 35 minutes and was released in 2022. I watched it on 17th Jun 2023 with Aditi on Netflix.

Isabel and Bodil, Two friends, happily married to their husbands, go off for a weekend from Netherlands to Belgium and indulge themselves in carnal pleasures, covering for each other. The perfect plan goes haywire when Isabel goes missing. Then there is a murder.

Bracha Van Doesburgh and Elise Schaap play the protagonists Bodil and Isabel respectively. Other notable appearances are Hanna Hoekstra as Bodil’s sister, Nasrdin Dchar as Bodil’s husband.  

It’s a very different kind of movie that may not appeal to the senses of conservative audience. The story has twists that keeps audience interested until the final revelation. However, when the movie is over you think ‘did I watch a great movie?’. The answer is NO. ‘Was it bad?’. The answer is NO. 

Positives: Doesn’t drag. 

Negatives: Not great. 

Watch if you have spare time or give it a miss. Doesn’t matter.
