The poster and trailer want to make you think that this is a vividly sexy movie, about a french dominatrix and a teenage boy, full of yearning, desire and a little spanking.
It's not.
It's a run-of-the-mill drama about *spoilers* a boy who has lost his dad, and a woman who has lost custody of her son. Yes, you can see where this is going. Two out of two horrible mothers, the movie is co-written by four men. Make of that what you will.
All the scenes of (very, very) mild sexual interest are in the trailer, extended by a few seconds in the movie. The way they are written suggests someone with a passing interest in S&M, there's nothing you wouldn't find on the wikipedia page for "bondage".
If you're after a barely-watchable coming-of-age drama with a few shots of stockings and stilettos, this is your movie. But don't buy into what the trailer is trying to sell you or you'll be disappointed.
