Summary: No depictions of violence or harm to animals. 3/5❤
This is a film about two very attractive women who have just met and share one night of sex and friendship in an up-scale hotel room. There is a great deal of nudity but nothing shocking or pornographic.
While there is much to enjoy visually, this potential enjoyment is greatly thwarted, just missing the apparent target of annihilation, by the world’s most unsexy background music. Shrill non-lexical coloratura comes in way too often, way too loud, and lasts way too long. Although the dialogue is in English, the girls speak softly and carry big Russian and Mediterranean accents as attractive women should, requiring a rather high listening volume. Then just as they flop down on the bed or reach for a treat, in comes the howling vocals evoking the eroticism of an Avon catalogue. With over 90 minutes of intimate images of beautiful nude women, Room in Rome is guaranteed to keep your right hand occupied riding the volume control.
