365 Days: This Day (2022)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
'365 Days', released in 2020, was a huge success on Netflix and secured a sequel, '365 Days: This Day', also based on the Polish book saga written by Blanka Lipinska. In the first movie, the protagonist Laura (Anna-Maria Sieklucka) is kidnapped by a Sicilian mobster, Massimo (Michele Morrone), and is practically forced to fall in love with him over 365 days. Well, it works out and now they are married. Massimo still has some complicated behaviors, wanting to control his wife, but it doesn't come close to the absurdity of the other film. In an attempt to leave behind the problems of the other movie, the sequel focuses more on the erotic side - bordering on an adult production, as there is almost no plot. There isn't even an effort to tie the story to what was presented in 2020. The narrative basically only gets a hook at the end, leaving room for a third movie. If you liked the first movie, it's worth checking out how Laura and Massimo's relationship is going, especially if the idea is to watch steamy scenes in a production that tries to be a romantic drama.

365 Days
Based on the homonymous novel by Polish author Blanka Lipińska, '365 dni' (or '365 Days') is the type of movie that seeks to combine romance and erotica. The latter is more than present, since from beginning to end the feature is seasoned with hyper-stylized images of its actors (who are also models) making love in luxurious European locations, from yachts to castles. However, in the same vein as '50 Shades of Grey', it is a story full of two-dimensional and illogical characters that, let's be honest, is not romantic at all, but rather an idealization of toxic relationships and submission as proof of "love".
The Next 365 Days
É o culminar da trilogia Netflix baseada nos romances de Blanka Lipińska. O relacionamento apaixonado, ciumento e intenso de Laura e Massimo chega ao fim com 'The Next 365 Days', que narra os acontecimentos depois que a protagonista no fim do longa anterior. Há reviravoltas surpreendentes que se desviam do caminho traçado no material literário original, com novos adversários no caminho da dupla, bem como personagens antigos retornando para fechar o ciclo. Claro, este romance adulto é tão polêmico e problemático quanto os dois anteriores, então você só vai gostar se for fã da saga. Clique aqui para ler a crítica completa.

Tonight You're Sleeping with Me
This is a Polish romantic drama exclusive to Netflix that with touches of eroticism addresses themes such as the deterioration of marriage and infidelity. The plot of Tonight You're Sleeping with Me follows a journalist trapped in a marriage that has lost its passion with a distant but affectionate husband. On the other hand, there is a younger ex-boyfriend who returns to her life and awakens in her the desire she thought was lost. There are no too surprising twists or too scandalous images: if you want something romantic but predictable, this is a good option.
Love at First Kiss
Impossible relationships and love triangles are basic ingredients of romantic comedies, as are those clichés that "a kiss can tell you everything about a person." Love at First Kiss (Eres tú) is a Spanish production that takes this last idea to a curious extreme: Javier (Álvaro Cervantes) has the power of clairvoyance, since with a kiss he can see the entire future of a relationship. This has led him to end all of his relationships quickly, but everything changes when he kisses Lucía (Silvia Alonso), with whom he sees a happy future... But the problem is that she is his best friend's (Gorka Otxoa) girlfriend. The entanglements and dramas follow a predictable course for any fan of the romantic comedy genre, but those who seek that repetition of the formula to spend a quiet and entertaining time, will enjoy it.
A Sunday Affair
Two best friends, Uche and Toyin, fall in love with Sunday, a charming, yet flawed eligible bachelor. A love triangle ensues with the women unaware that they are dating the same man.
