| Steamy somewhat
It was a well thought out story, but the nudity seemed to distract. Overall I would rate a decent watch but could do without the nudity.

| Taste and choice-
Taste and Choice "The Advocate" is the North american sanitized copy of the European movie titled "Hour of the Pig". It still has very interesting elements as cinema goes.
