Well. I get the dislike, I truly do, but honestly... it's almost watchable. <em>'Attraction'</em> has a pretty cruddy plot (featuring scenes that were clearly written by men for men, let's be real) so should make for an awful watch. Yet, I kinda didn't mind it while I was watching it - as noted, it's in fact almost something I actually say is worth a watch. I'm not fully sure why, granted, but I'd be lying if I said I disliked it enough to give it a lower rating. Yana Marinova is a likeable lead, portraying basically the only properly likeable character in the entire film admittedly. Alexander Sano does alright in his role, as does Luiza Grigorova-Makariev. Koyna Ruseva doesn't have much to work with, given her character is way too cartoony. Not that it's a sign of anything meaningful, though interesting to see that only Radina Borshosh from the cast has an English Wikipedia article - on that note, how about Sonya's fight skills btw? That kick into Vasil's crown jewels is a work of art, as is the slap on Diana. A lot of the film is cringey, especially that concluding speech scene with Marinova's Lora. The literal final scenes go full blown <em>'<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Inbetweeners" rel="nofollow">The Inbetweeners</a>'</em> too, as Nikoleta Lozanova replicates Belinda Stewart-Wilson. Iykyk. I understand the hate, though I think it moreso falls into the 'so bad it's (almost) good' category. I will not be revisiting it any time soon, yet I didn't have a negative time with it so...
