Netflix’s newest erotic thriller has quickly become a hot topic, with many viewers calling it one of the most provocative films the platform has ever released.
Adapted from Sue Hecker’s bold novel, the Brazilian film soared to the top of Netflix’s trending list shortly after its debut.
Reactions online have been candid, with one viewer summing it up as: “80% intimacy.” Another commented: “Every scene features someone half-dressed — there’s barely any plot, just constant physical moments.”
The film heavily emphasizes sensuality, drawing comparisons to titles like 365 Days, Y Tu Mamá También, and Fifty Shades of Grey, though many believe this one goes even further.
As one viewer put it: “Decided to give it a try — it’s basically attractive people hooking up and riding motorcycles. Honestly, not disappointed.”
While the film’s sensual themes are undeniably central, audience reactions have been divided.
Some viewers have praised its daring approach, applauding the chemistry between the leads and the visual appeal of its stars.
Others, however, have criticized the movie for lacking substance and depth in its storyline.
“I couldn’t even finish it,” one viewer remarked, suggesting the film veers closer to being explicit rather than merely provocative.
The story centers on Babi, played by Giovanna Lancellotti, a woman on the verge of marriage who is shaken after uncovering her fiancé’s betrayal.
Rather than succumbing to heartbreak, Babi undergoes a dramatic transformation.
She dyes her hair black, sheds her conventional lifestyle, and dives headfirst into a more adventurous path—eventually entering into a passionate romance with Marco, a charismatic judge who becomes central to her personal awakening.
Burning Betrayal wastes no time plunging into its core themes of desire and personal freedom.
The lead characters, frequently seen in revealing or fully nude scenes, engage in intimate encounters across a range of settings — from beachside backdrops to kitchen counters.
While opinions remain divided, Burning Betrayal has undeniably captured attention, igniting discussions about the evolving role of erotic storytelling in mainstream streaming platforms.
Whether celebrated for its boldness or criticized for pushing boundaries, the film has undoubtedly left a lasting impression.
