Obsession (2023)
6/10
Read the book instead!
16 April 2023
As others have said, this version tried too hard to be 50 shades of gray as well, and in doing so lost all the depth of Josephine Hart's original work. I still remember reading the first page of the book 25yrs later and being consumed immediately. Jeremy Irons version was also a letdown but somehow a bit less offensive. Respect that the actors were willing to do scenes many would not but in this case I think less would have been more. Guide the viewer but let them fill in the blanks. I love Richard Armitage in all series (and particularly as an audible narrator!!) but this just tried too hard.
