Melissa P. This was a fantastic piece of writing, it went from sweet to wild to gruesome to anti-climax, to don't let it end like this, OK this is the end, no now this is the end, to All right this is the end, to finally somehow when all the pieces fit together the third act went from evidently ending at that low point for the protagonist and that's all right, because it was built like this, but then swoop, she is swept away and we think an angel saved this poor devil girl to a few more scenes which left the protagonist in a nice safe place with possibility for true love. The writing is incredible, I love the makeshift ablution scene that seemed like a sterling anti-climax for sure! haha, but no, we are saved, it was a wonderful tale, yes bad things happen but sometimes so can good things, just a wonderful piece of film-making, I guess this is based on memoirs but I'm upon the little fissures here and there wrought his special magic to really sharpen the narrative, just stunning, striking! 'Oh Melissa, you're in my dreams, you're with me every day, Oh Melissa, could that really be your voice I hear? Too soon for you and I the priest took your sacrifice and sent you to the other side!' Mercyful Fate, lol

I was so glad to see a film reach for reality. Too many films drop the ball on actually hitting what truly does happen in real life. Built the story and ran with it , great decision making on all accounts during the filming. Just wished they push the envelope a lil more, would've made this a lot better. Certain scenes missed on how it went down & what happened immediately after, not the next day or hours later. Would've been great to see how a few scenes actually ended & how the main character walked away from it ? ***IF anyone knows any other films similar to this, Please fill me in.I've written 5 movies myself, just not sure how to get them out there ?

I saw very little of the book in this film, this is not to say that this alone makes for a poor movie. As a matter of fact it was better that the book despite the fact that I still thought it was awful. I personally feel that the only reason any one bothered to make this book into a film was because of the shock value. Melissa's sexual exploits were for the most part disgusting and whatever was left over was disturbing. I'm not prude but that book nauseated me, and the movie wasn't much better. At least the movie had some kind of a story. The book was more or less a detailed list of all the raunchy things she had done in her past, there was no connection between her and any part of her family. No mention of the grandmother that figures quite largely into the movie's plot, not a peep. All in all if you have the choice between the movie or the book pick the movie, at least it is shorter.

At first glance, it was a little bit disappointment, when I saw Melissa P. I had an expectation that Melissa P. herself would have played in this movie. But Maria Valverde was really fitted in the role either with appearance or with talent. In spite of the movie has been showed with the sign 18 circle, when we look at the scenes in reality it deserves a sign 15 circle. There was an incompatibility with the books itself and the movie. Some parts had failed to hit, some parts have been drawn into the scenes fast and verbally. That makes the story snapped. Maybe because of the movie depends on a memoir not on a complete scenario. It seemed that at the end of the movie Melissa had commit a suicide. Then, she appeared on surface and visited her father's mother Nonna Elvira's grave with her mother. It was a misty scenario, not open as we understood. As if Melissa quit these kinds of sex games and correct her communication with her mother forever when she realized she was in wrong way. It is not easy to find a right way after diving too deep. In the book Melissa did not stop playing games.
