The team returns for this third entry in Netflix's improbably popular glossy soft-core soap-style Polish film series which carries on directly from the first sequel (shot back-to-back), and pretty much delivers more of the same, although this time there is a bit more structure than the previous film and even an occasional appearance of human emotion. The series is now far removed from its 50 Shades Of Grey-inspired origins and focuses on its obsessive love triangle, but the sexual politics at play still show a gobsmacking lack of awarenesss and there is a unique combination of glumness and the ridiculous at odds all the way through. Massimo and Laura's failing marriage is tested to its limits, her lover Nacho reappears and sets his sights on winning Laura, sister Olga remains the awfully weak comedy character, and the whole enterprise occupies a curiously unreal fantasy world that distances the viewer throughout. Dialogue veering between Polish and English for no apparent reason also remains an issue with performances. Not so much 'so bad its good', simply puzzling!
