Netflix's New Release: The '80% Sex' Movie Everyone Can't Stop Talking About

Netflix subscribers have been left stunned after stumbling across a raunchy movie that is quickly climbing the trending charts. The Brazilian film has taken the streaming platform by storm, leaving viewers shocked by its highly explicit nature. Despite the heavy focus on adult content, many fans insist that the movie is highly entertaining and genuinely worth a watch. This is not the first time a risqué title has gone viral on Netflix. The platform has previously hosted erotic film series that received zero percent on Rotten Tomatoes, as well as controversial series that left viewers deeply uncomfortable. However, this recent release seems to have struck a different chord with its audience, balancing intense intimacy with a storyline that keeps viewers hooked. The movie, titled Burning Betrayal, is based on Sue Hecker's provocative novel, O Lado Bom de Ser Traída, which translates to "The Good Side of Being Betrayed." Set in São Paulo, the plot follows an accountant named Babi, played by Giovanna Lancellotti. After discovering her fiancé's infidelity just before their wedding, Babi embarks on a journey of self-empowerment, joining a bike club, changing her look, and crossing paths with a handsome judge named Marco. Audiences react to the explicit content The film features dozens of highly explicit moments, leading many viewers to compare it to other popular adult dramas like Fifty Shades of Grey and Sex/Life . Audiences have been vocal on social media about the sheer volume of these intimate moments throughout the runtime. One reviewer on Rotten Tomatoes even described the film as "soft porn perfect."

One person commented on social media, "Every second, people are without underwear, no story, nothing except sex." Another viewer wrote, "If you like looking at naked or near naked bodies, of both genders, there are plenty of scenes to choose from. Inevitably all the actors have impeccable physiques and the sex scenes do show some imagination in terms of activities and positioning." They further noted, "It couldn't really have got more explicit without having to be differently categorised." Fans praise the plot and chemistry Despite the constant stream of adult content, the 2023 release has maintained a strong reception, securing an impressive 87 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Many fans admit to watching the film multiple times, finding themselves deeply entertained by the fast-paced narrative and the dynamic between the main characters. One viewer summarized the experience by stating, "Burning Betrayal is 80 per cent sex and 9 per cent plot." Another fan admitted, "Just two people riding motorcycles and having sex. Did I watch it five times? You bet I did." Beyond the provocative elements, several fans appreciated the themes of female empowerment and the overall production quality of the project. One viewer shared, "I loved it, Babi charmed me with her awakening, she got out of a bad relationship and made lemonade out of lemons." The same reviewer added that it was wonderful to see how "women are discovering themselves sexually and talking about sex is not so taboo," noting that "the sex scenes were hot without being vulgar, the quality of Brazilian films is standing out more and more. It leaves nothing to be desired compared to the American ones, I loved it, dreaming of a part 2." Another enthusiastic fan agreed, writing, "What powerful chemistry!!!" They concluded by praising "the impeccable script, the action scenes on two wheels and the suspense that makes the viewer hold their breath... It's so good! I already want to - and will - watch it again!" Featured image credit: Netflix
