Adults Only on Netflix: A film with intense scenes that will keep you hooked – Cinema News

In the vast catalog of Netflix hides a cinematic gem as provocative as it is visceral: All For Her, a Japanese film directed by Ryūichi Hiroki that combines psychological suspense with a love story as destructive as it is passionate. Based on the manga Gunjō by Ching Nakamura, this film is not for sensitive viewers: it explores love, violence and redemption with an intensity unusual in contemporary cinema.

The story revolves around Rei, played by Kiko Mizuhara, a young lesbian who, after ten years of no contact, receives a call from Nanae (Honami Satô), her platonic high school love. Upon discovering that Nanae suffers domestic violence, Rei makes a drastic decision: she murders her friend’s abusive husband in an act that mixes revenge, despair and unconditional love. This bloody event marks the beginning of an escape across Japan, which is not only physical, but also emotional and existential.

A crime for love: when passion breaks all limits

Filmed chronologically, something uncommon in Japanese cinema, the work allows the relationship between the protagonists to evolve organically. Mizuhara and Honami Sato, who plays Nanae, shared an intense connection during filming, transferring this complicity to the screen. The bond between them strengthens scene after scene, immersing the viewer in an ambiguous dynamic where love and guilt coexist in permanent tension.

Tudo Por Ela stands out not only for the audacity of its argument, but also for its careful aesthetics. Hiroki, with a long history of exploring the gray areas of sexuality and emotion, alternates neon-lit city scenes with coastal landscapes that evoke freedom and redemption. The cinematography transforms each moment into an emotional picture, where the intimate and the wild merge without compromise.

One of the most talked about aspects of the film is its explicit representation of female sexuality, including an eight-minute sex scene between the protagonists, choreographed with the support of an intimacy coordinator. This key figure allowed the actresses to feel safe and protected during filming, an innovative approach that is still uncommon in the Japanese industry. The result is a powerful, raw and meaningful scene, which transcends the erotic to talk about the power of giving yourself completely to another person.

Although the film softens some of the darker nuances of the original manga, it retains the emotional core of the story: two women broken inside who try to rebuild themselves amidst the chaos. Mizuhara and Sato’s performances are moving, full of vulnerability and strength, and support a plot that at times may seem erratic, but never loses its magnetism.
