Cuddle Weather (2019) movie review
Describing the underworld
Cuddle Weather opens with stills of Adela serving her clients. Adela read a rather impressive account. He said that some people are born intelligent or talented.
While he was born without high IQ or intelligence. In that scene, Adela shows an expression that pretends to enjoy serving customers.
There is a principle that Adela describes for being a prostitute. The principle is not to be manipulated by lust, be willing to bargain and must obey all the wishes of the customer.
They keep that principle to satisfy customers and make money. The more they are willing to do anything, the better they get paid.
This film tries to explore the world of prostitution in a lighthearted way. He’s not trying to talk about morality. He focuses more on the story of prostitutes who have no choice.
There is a touching scene where Adela wants to stop being a prostitute. His intentions were not carried out because he needed the money. Moreover, the money was used to finance his mother, who opened a stall at the market.
Prostitution is often considered low-key. In this film, they are portrayed as humanists. They are also human beings who want to feel love.
Love separates from their bodies to serve customers. Indeed the story sounds cliché. This movie tries to convey it in a simple yet effective way.
Predictable stories
Cuddle Weather in terms of stories has the standard romcom movie formula. The formula is that two people’s attachment to each other turns into love. The biggest difference is that the two people in this movie are homosexuals.
They seem to separate the two sides of life. The side of prostitutes is when they serve customers. The other side appeared when they had reached the apartment.
They will be as close as most people when it comes to love. The romantic element in the film is unfortunately not touching enough. Towards the end, the conflict was successfully resolved.
But the solutions offered failed to delight them. Defects are covered with beautiful scenes. The scene is less emotional but shows two people in love.
Sue Ramirez. looks great
This film from director Rod Marmol brings a solid depth to each character. Adela is described as wanting to stop working as a prostitute.
Ram is supposed to enjoy the hard earned money. Yan finds it difficult to fulfill his wish with Adela because he has a wife and children.
Sue Ramirez has lived up to expectations by being the main character in this movie. We can see two different images of the actor.
When she became a prostitute, she had to show concern for the wishes of her guests. When she completes her work, she becomes a woman looking for love.
Cinematographically, this movie relies heavily on high-angle shots. This technique is often used in recording scenes of Adela and Ram together. The camera will highlight two characters from above.
It was intended to show Adela and Ram’s movements in bed. Moving camera highlights body parts. Their body movements are representative of their relationship.
Watching Cuddle Weather reminds us of the general formula of romcoms. Even so, the plot of this film consistently explores the world of prostitution.
With a duration of 95 minutes, we can guess the course of the story. There are no big surprises but this movie knows how to keep our eyes on it until the very end. Have movie recommendations about prostitution? Share in the comments column, come on!
