It's fair to say that the reviews of Mea Culpa, the new Netflix thriller, aren't being very kind. It's currently sitting with a Rotten Tomatoes rating of just 15%, and while that's only based on 13 reviews so far, it does appear that if this film were a bird, it'd be a turkey up there with the likes of Gigli.
The Guardian says it's "hilariously messy" – and not deliberately so – while the New York Times says that this "wilfully steamy" thriller is "decidedly silly". Variety tries to have it both ways, noting that "many will write it off as as shlock" but "there’s something admirable about a filmmaker who knows exactly what his audience wants." It doesn't sound like this will be threatening our list of the new Netflix movies, in any case.
