A "listen to the speech" kind of movie coz if you missed out any part of that, you will some how feel lost at the show. the plot can be better just that the direction went more into the sexual scenes instead which is rather sad. Yes it does sort of reflect a portion of the diary of the female lead, but i guess there is more way to bring her thoughts and desire across for viewers to understand rather than just nude sexual scenes.
