Rosa also meets Maria, who holds Linda’s diary, where she relates how a fake Doctor turned her away from drugs and into a nymphomaniac.

“What a let down. For a film about a nymphomaniac this was the most boring waste of 86 minutes Iu0026#39;ve ever seen. What little nudity there was, was poorly shot and sleazeless. Any time anything started to happen, cut and onto the next boring scene. This film screamed out for more, promised lots, and delivered very little. Sorry Jess, love some of your stuff but you scored an own goal with this one Iu0026#39;m afraid”
