The most common concerns were related to "non-consensual" sex scenes and the misrepresentation of Stockholm syndrome. The steamy film has been strongly criticized for romanticizing said syndrome, among other things, such as sexual assault and psychological violence.
An internet user wrote about it on Twitter:
I don't understand how everyone on Twitter is romanticizing a movie about kidnapping, physical and sexual violence, and abusive psychopaths.
Recently, actor Michele Morrone - who plays the main character - broke his silence and opened up about the sex scenes he had to shoot with his on-screen partner Anna-Maria Sieklucka.
He told E! Online:
In the beginning, filming the erotic moments was kind of weird because Sieklucka and I had just become such good friends. For me, it wasn't hard to do that because, as an actor, I always wanted to be real in everything I do. So normal sex scene, I just want it to be real because I want to have done my work in the purest way ever.
