Based on Sue Hecker’s provocative novel, the Brazilian film quickly climbed to the top of the streaming platform’s trending list after its premiere.
Viewers have been candid in their reactions, with one social media user bluntly calling it “80% sex.”
Another commented, “Every other second, people are without underwear—no real story, just sex nonstop.”
The film heavily emphasizes physical intimacy, drawing comparisons to movies like 365 Days, Y Tu Mamá También, and 50 Shades of Grey, though many say it takes things even further.
One viewer summed it up: “Decided to watch it, and honestly, it’s just really attractive people having sex and riding motorbikes. Not disappointed at all.”
While the movie’s erotic elements are undeniably its focal point, reactions have been mixed.
Some viewers have been drawn in by its boldness, praising its sensuality and the physical appeal of the cast.
Others, however, have criticized the film for lacking a strong plot and narrative depth.
“I couldn’t even make it through the whole thing,” one viewer confessed, suggesting the movie bordered on being more pornographic than simply provocative.
The story follows Babi, played by Giovanna Lancellotti, a woman preparing for marriage who experiences a profound emotional upheaval after discovering her fiancé’s infidelity.
Rather than succumbing to heartbreak, Babi undergoes a striking transformation.
She dyes her hair black, abandons her conventional lifestyle for a more adventurous one, and soon embarks on a passionate affair with Marco, a charismatic judge who plays a pivotal role in her personal awakening.
Burning Betrayal jumps straight into its core themes of desire and freedom.
The main characters, frequently barely dressed or fully nude, share intimate moments in diverse settings — from sunlit beaches to kitchen countertops.
Though opinions are mixed, Burning Betrayal undeniably grabs attention and ignites conversations about the shifting role of erotic cinema on mainstream streaming platforms.
Whether celebrated for its boldness or criticized as over the top, the film has unquestionably left a lasting impression.
