5.0 out of 5 stars Red Shoe Diaries, March 11, 2009

By	Southern Belle "x-files fan" (Omaha, NE USA) - See all my reviews

I'm old enough to be his mother, but as far as I'm concerned, any David Duchovny movie is great even if it's not. Red Shoe Diaries, however, is one of his best. The plot is excellent and the acting is superb. The love story is beautiful and the unpredictable ending was tragic but fitting. None of his female costars, though, are as gorgeous as Gillian Anderson. She's the only one who is as wonderful to look at as he is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hot and seductive, Smokin', October 18, 2008

By	Alexis Smith - See all my reviews

Bottom Line: Buy It
I have to say, Zalman King does some pretty excellent work bringing heat to the screen with his movies and tv programs.
This movie, was turned into a the TV series, 'The Red Shoe Diaries' that originally aired on Showtime in the 1990's. If you've ever seen that series, this movie lays down the groundwork of the character in the series played by David Duchovny. If you haven't seen the series, it centers around his character who receives all the erotic letters (which are turned into visual mini stories) from women after placing an ad in the classifieds attempting to understand why his fiance ended her life.
The movie centers on the relationship of David's character with his fiance, and while they have an active sex life, her character wonders if there's something missing from her 'perfect life'. Which sends on her path of searching of something she can't exactly put her finger...and into the arms of Billy Wirth's character (who btw is intensely hot in this film) and into his bed.
But she struggles between the perfectness of her life with David's character, and the craving intensity she feels with Billy's character... ultimately sending her on a emotional spiral downward..where she ends her own life.
Then David's character sets out trying to discover what happened, when he finds her journal, and vows to find out who this other man is. With a climactic scene where they both meet and confront each other.
While there is no perfect ending in this movie, it does contain some fantastic sex scenes, and some intensely passionate characters filled with emotional baggage. Very visually interesting as well.
If you're new to Zalman King's work, and you enjoy this movie, you might check out his other works (Red Shoe Diaries the series, Lake Consequence).

3.0 out of 5 stars Two For One...., August 2, 2008

By	Stephanie A. Kelly (Illinois) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have always wanted to see this movie, because of David Duchovny and Billy Wirth. Now that I have I am glad that I bought this movie. I will admit that this is when they first started to act, but their deliverance was very well done. Billy Wirth's character shocked me the most, but you will have to see it to believe it. I wish there could have been more detail into the storyline but there was enough to know what was going on.
