I didn't get the end, it sound like a premature end!! Film begins like just another romance and there is no hope to be more than that, her husband takes second plan all movie along and he acts like a fool. Near to the end , table turns and it gets more interesting, but it's too late!The trap made by father and son has no sense to me, and the storyline lacks more explanation about that! Beside that, Loes Haverkort has a average perfomance but enough to make you keep watching until the end! To be watched late night on a boring sunday!

Utterly pedestrian and underwhelming. Completely by-the-numbers in all respects. Not entertaining at all. Nice to look at, with a pretty location, but that's pretty much all it has going for it.

With a slow buildup and not so riveting plot, the storyline was predictable. However, there were some awesome performances from the actors which did make up for it. Being said that, the plot became interesting to the end, and the climax was all the more realistic.

The German title of the movie is Obsessed ... which may be a bit missleading. Then again Rendez-Vouz is not really something that explains much either is it now? But don't let that stand in the way of a drama of a woman that has issues in her marriage and finds some satisfaction in another place.
That may sound simple but the movie actually is very good! It really builds up to something and the decisions that are being made make sense. This may be one of the best dramas about infidelity ... of course that is not all there is. There are a few twists on the way and some feelings that are being taken advantage of ... and yet the movie might be able to surprise you here and there. It was able to do that with me.

Nothing new here. I couldn't sleep and this was wrongfully in the horror category on Amazon movies. Also didn't realize it was in another language because it was called Obsession in English and I thought it might have been Naomi Watts from the cover but instead it was all European actors I've never seen before and they were all fine.

I started watching this expecting horror or suspense - I got none. This is a bad romantic drama and that's it. There really doesn't happen all that much in the movie, there is this house that should be bulldozed instead of renovated and this lady that can't keep her pants on. Well she is a pretty lady, but it just isn't nearly enoung.

...it would've become an instant hit. The acting is marvellous, the lead actress had a natural gift of acting just by using facial expressions, with a similar resemblance to Kristen Stewart. The movie is well paced, not giving many clues to the viewer about what will happen next. The plot twist is well introduced and is powerful enough to twist the whole story. Every actor plays their character in the best way possible. Absolutely loved this movie, the plot, the intensity of it and the atmosphere.
It was all just a bit meh, I guess? Even when they tried to spice it up a bit with sex scenes, they were only half-cooked. And no, I'm not saying they should have shown more skin, specifically, I'm saying they needed something a bit MORE to them. Like, maybe some more lingering and allusive shots OR something more overt and confronting. The scenes themselves weren't terrible, they just didn't really commit to anything with them. Then again, the movie is listed on Prime as "Horror" but there's maybe 5 to 10 minutes of almost-psychological-horror and that's it. I'd have LOVED for that to have been better fleshed out, too.
Like I said, it's neither very special nor overly terrible, but it COULD have been. It just needed a bit more work on the script. The actors were great, the setting was lovely, the sound design was awesome for the budget they probably had, the script just let everyone down. I'd like to see what a British studio would do with a remake of this tbh. Not an American studio, they'd probably crank up the bombast and over-stylise the sex scene. IF they even left the sex scene in, that is, we know how Americans love to censor sex and increase the violence. This, though, this just needs a bit more meat on the bones of the script. Give the sex a bit more weight, and actually push through on the psychological horror aspect barely hinted at here.

I usually watch a film in its entirety before leaving a review, but I can't take any more of the horrible voiceovers in this movie-the two kids have the most annoying voices ever-one of them sounds like Elmer Fudd because he says Ws for Rs-I guess they thought that was cute. No one can pronounce the daughter's name correctly and for ten minutes I thought they were calling her "Zeus" instead of "Suze." Everyone else speaks in a monotone or puts emphasis in the wrong places so it sounds like a bad recording. Seriously, hire people who actually speak and understand English to do your English language dubbing. This is like listening to Google Translate in a movie. Unbearable, so I'm turning it off.

Very enjoyable and engaging. The acting is flawless and it doesn't hurt that the protagonists are easy on the eyes. The scenes are rich in details and well paced. All kinds of tensions flow through and the movie induces you to feel for various characters. Local color is expertly sprinkled in and is its own force in the story. It's very smart in how it blends cotidian anxieties in the course of life and life's projects with unexpected volcanos of emotion and the terrifying roller coaster ride of it all.

This is nothing more than an erotic movie, a guy giving it nice and well to a cheating wife. The actress was sexy, lovely body, but that's it. The story is nonsensical though, the behavior of the characters is not realistic. They had to have a different story and/or more character development if they wanted to make it credible and maybe then the rating would be 7 or above. (Anything on IMDB with a rating below 7 is rubbish since the rating system is biased generally towards inflation).

OMG! No offense, I used to think only Hollywood is able to provide deeply touching pictures. But after this movie I take my thoughts back. The story is simple: happy young woman with her age husband and 2 adorable kids feels a strong attraction to a worker at her house. There is a twist at the end, but I especially loved how their feelings were shown and developed. The best scene is when she is in the kitchen right after they were close , she feels that over and over again. Oh... Terrific! Why is low rating (5 currently) and not too much reviews? Should be 10 plus.
