A Lie of Omission

Lapis Afterglow wrote and the team of Siouxsie Q and Michael Vegas directed this subpar Pure Taboo exercise, lacking credibility throughout.

It has a sustained sour mood, with a story premise that simply doesn't work. Ken Feels plays a bitter boyfriend who seeks sexual revenge against his lovely girlfriend (Charlie Forde) because she never told him about a lesbian fling she had back in her college days. She comes home to find photos of her and ex-gal pal Dana Vespoli displayed all over the place, taken from her laptop by an angry Ken.

He confronts her for lying about her past, "a lie of omission", but the real bad news for her is that he's brought Dana home to confront her. She's still angry after all these for Charlie walking out on her, and both aggrieved parties demand sex from Charlie then and there, as payback.

This humiliating scene is not credible, as Charlie makes love to Dana and then has a three-way with Ken, directed as just three sex workers being sexy for the camera but feigning dislike for each other at the same time. Unhappy ending is designed (as so many Pure Taboo vignettes are) to leave the viewer in a bad mood.
