Quite a different erotic thriller type film about a character falling for a girl he meets on an app leading to an inevitable deep path.
This film is definitely engaging for the most part as it isn't completely predictable yet it seems like it never knew exactly the type of film it wanted to be. Perhaps a throwback to 90's erotic thrillers blended in with this new age flavor.
The lead character Franklin isn't entirely unlikeable yet he isn't likeable enough to root for. Solid acting from the cast- that isn't the problem.
As a film, we see both him and his girlfriend Candida cheat (she cheats with his best friend- whom he never finds out). Another film where the "best friend" is the backstabber yet at the same time helping out the main character.
Graphic Desires is quite bizarre. Featuring several intense explicit scenes throughout. A lot of bright colors and flashes are prominent.
The film sort of loses its steam and goes it a different direction towards the last part. Around when the Franklin buys a guy and becomes more threatening and bold.
We don't understand as to why he was so aggressive into finding this girl and why he cheated (gf cheated also) when his girlfriend was a clear standout. It wasn't too clear whether or not he knew that she was cheating.
Quite a sad depressing ending with a lot of confusion in the final moments. The entire "deepfake" thing mentioned wasn't exactly clear. Several late twists seemed to be added for the sake of it. Such as the very ending scene. Where exactly did that girl come from and what did the conversation between her and the guy mean?
Overall, not a bad film. There is definitely a lot of intrigue happening. Yet it does feel like it tries too hard by throwing in these twists without any real payoff. Felt sort of rushed in the end.
