    While the obsession is overdone (William, especially, is drenched in it like cloying duty-free aftershave), the sex itself, including what appears to be a beginner’s guide to bondage and submission, seems stilted. It’s like watching AI sex robots attempt to play strip Twister.

    Neither the plot story – nor Hart’s original dialogue – map convincingly onto 2023. ... Obsession feels like a story that’s had the stuffing knocked out of it.

    The leads do their best to sell the thin stuff they have been given.
