Some viewers previously took to TikTok to share their reaction to the shocking first scene in the film, according to IGV.
One commented: ‘Had to immediately clear my viewing history and will never again trust TikTok recommendations without thorough research.’
‘The opening scene left me completely stunned.’; ‘After seeing all the reaction videos, I thought people were exaggerating. They were not. This makes other controversial films look tame in comparison. Consider this a warning to watch alone and maybe have a glass of wine ready.’
Someone else added: ‘Currently recovering from watching what I naively assumed was just another European romance.
‘The first few minutes were more explicit than anything I expected to find on a mainstream streaming platform. No wonder everyone keeps filming their reactions.’
Taking to the Facebook group Netflix Bangers, which has over three million members, one user enquired to see if the film was worth watching.
Responding in the comments, others were effusive in their praise of the film, commenting: ‘I loved it so much’.
