it’s all sex

ask me what you want It is based on the classic story of Cinderella. About a young working-class woman who suddenly falls in love with a rich and attractive man who offers her all sorts of benefits in exchange for wild love. Thanks to this structure, the film shamelessly delivers on what it promises: lots of sex.

Scenes with high erotic content are constant, to the point that it is this element that makes the plot move. For most of the film, all the drama that happens between them is just preparation for more sex. For better or for worse, that’s what ask me what you want he promised and decides to unceremoniously hug him. Those looking for a fun time at the cinemas will be disappointed.

The film repeats models and clichés of such works as Fifty Shades of Gray. This world of sophistication and luxury attempts to elevate the whole and give it a more sophisticated and refined atmosphere. The direction and performances are formulaic and offer nothing original or noteworthy, limiting itself to getting the job done by relying on two proper leads, though perhaps lacking more tangible chemistry due to the script.

Unlimited toxicity

It’s not difficult to empathize judgewho actually rebels against tricks and gimmicks at first Eric. But it will be clear to any viewer that he is nothing more than a rich, spoiled and immature child who considers himself above good and evil. A manipulator who even commits an obvious crime without the consent of the other party. Such a person cannot evoke any sympathy.

Yet viewers find that she eventually succumbs to her games. This is where the script is at its most inconsistent and vague, and also very repetitive. judge He gets angry and forgives rudeness Eric over and over again as if nothing had happened. The young woman’s swing is not at all natural. In one sentence, she can go from absolutely determined to never see him again to returning to his arms without any excuse.

In short, the script is the worst of all. ask me what you want. Not only does it offer nothing minimally new or reflective of these dynamics of power and seduction, but it is not even fully finished, leaving behind certain sequences or dialogue that create spontaneous comedy. The only positive aspect is its final message, which encourages female self-discovery, albeit very superficial and taken with a grain of salt.
