00:01Hello?
00:02I'm all yours.
00:03Are you sure you're okay?
00:05You wanna know why I chose you?
00:06Why?
00:07Ah!
00:08Where are you going tonight?
00:09I have to talk to somebody.
00:12Welcome to Screen Recaps, and today we are going to be recapping the movie Addicted.
00:16Zoe Rainier seeks a confidential session with Dr. Marcella Spencer, a therapist specializing
00:21in sexual addiction.
00:23She shares the events of the past six months, despite having a loving husband named Jason
00:28and a satisfying sex life, Zoe still feels unsatisfied.
00:33To cope with her dissatisfaction, she turns to watching pornography and using a vibrator
00:37in the living room.
00:39Zoe, who owns an art gallery company called Zoe & Co., receives a brochure from her best
00:44friend and assistant, Brina, showcasing the work of Quentin Canosa.
00:48Intrigued, Zoe attends an exhibition featuring Quentin's art and is captivated by his talent.
00:53Quentin, equally enchanted by Zoe's beauty, flirts with her during the event.
00:58They exchange contact information and plan to meet again.
01:01Zoe continues to engage in other illicit affairs, even going as far as dressing up to go to
01:05clubs while lying to her mother about going to the grocery store.
01:09One night, after having shower sex with Jason, Zoe dreams about being intimate with Quentin.
01:15She visits Quentin's studio to discuss a contract for him to join her company.
01:19Quentin signs the contract without hesitation.
01:22As Zoe prepares to leave, Quentin tries to seduce her.
01:25Initially resisting due to her marriage, Zoe eventually gives in to Quentin's charm
01:30and allows him to perform on her.
01:32Zoe's sexual pursuits and subsequent guilt begin to impact her work and family life.
01:38She misses her son's soccer games and becomes absent-minded when Brina informs her about
01:43a potential client, Balthazar Crane, who has been trying to set up a meeting.
01:48Determined to end the affair, Zoe visits Quentin's place once again.
01:52There she encounters a young woman named Diamond, who is familiar with Zoe's name
01:56and offers to answer any questions about Quentin.
02:00Zoe locates Quentin and confesses that she can no longer continue their relationship
02:05because she is in love with Jason.
02:08Quentin then takes her to see some of his street art, revealing that he turned to painting
02:12as a way to cope with his father's suicide and his mother's abandonment.
02:18He expresses his longing for companionship, which leaves Zoe feeling guilty.
02:23Despite her guilt, they end up kissing and having sex once again.
02:28As a result, Zoe misses a meeting with Balthazar Crane but manages to catch up with him later,
02:34lying about taking care of her sick daughter.
02:37Balthazar agrees to reschedule.
02:39Despite her guilt, Zoe continues her affair with Quentin and even allows him to paint
02:44her nude before they make love again.
02:47In the present, Dr. Spencer diagnoses Zoe with a severe sex addiction comparable to
02:52a drug addiction.
02:54He suggests that Zoe propose couples counseling to Jason.
02:57Zoe follows his advice and asks Jason if they can see a therapist to address their sex life,
03:02but Jason refuses, unwilling to pay for personal discussions.
03:07After another round of sex, Quentin implores Zoe to leave her husband and be with him,
03:11but she declines because she still loves Jason.
03:14However, this doesn't prevent her from going to a club and catching the attention
03:18of another man named Corey.
03:21They engage in sexual activity in the bathroom, an experience Zoe admits to enjoying when
03:25discussing it with Dr. Spencer.
03:28This additional affair with Corey continues whenever Zoe cannot be with Quentin.
03:32Consequently, Zoe's relationship with her son suffers as she misses his final soccer
03:37game of the season, causing him to lose trust in her.
03:41At work, Zoe's performance has declined significantly, leading her employees and Brina
03:46to notice and express their dissatisfaction.
03:49Brina confronts Zoe, criticizing her for letting a few clients slip away without seeming to
03:54care about the consequences.
03:56Zoe catches Quentin and Diamond engaging in sexual activity, which angers her.
04:01She storms out, leaving Quentin confused.
04:04Later Jason confronts Zoe about her late nights and absence from the family.
04:09Zoe tries to blame Jason for staying late at work, but he defends himself by revealing
04:13her whereabouts.
04:15Zoe goes back to Quentin's place, but their intimate moment is interrupted by a knock
04:19on the door.
04:21Zoe hides as Jason arrives to meet with Quentin for business, unaware that they have already
04:25been involved in business together.
04:28While looking at Quentin's artwork, Jason accidentally discovers a covered painting
04:31depicting Zoe and Quentin in a sexual position.
04:35Before he can see it, Jason is called away by his partner.
04:38Zoe questions Quentin about whether he intended to prevent Jason from seeing the painting.
04:43Feeling excluded from her family's activities, Zoe is left behind when Jason takes the kids
04:48to the movies, and the kids themselves don't want Zoe to join them.
04:53Additionally, Quentin sends over a sculpture, after Jason mentions Zoe's appreciation
04:58for his work.
05:00Following Dr. Spencer's advice, Zoe arranges a meeting with both Quentin and Corey to put
05:05an end to the affairs.
05:07Corey becomes annoyed, and tries to push Zoe, but Quentin steps in.
05:12Corey decides to leave, but Quentin grabs a sculpture, and hits Corey over the head
05:17with it.
05:19Quentin then approaches Zoe aggressively, but she breaks a glass on the floor, causing
05:23him to step on it and cut his feet.
05:26Zoe hides behind Quentin's paintings as he grabs a sharp object and starts chasing her.
05:30However, before Quentin can harm Zoe, Jason appears and hits Quentin, revealing that he
05:35knows about the affair.
05:37Quentin leaves, and Zoe follows suit, while Diamond enters to take care of Quentin.
05:42Zoe follows Jason and tries to talk to him, but he tells her that he is leaving her and
05:47taking the kids, and that she is dead to him.
05:50Devastated, Zoe decides to fulfill this claim by walking into the path of a car.
05:55Jason runs to her side.
05:57Over the next few months, Zoe is recovering in the hospital while her family worries for
06:01her.
06:02Her company officially closes its doors.
06:05Jason takes care of Quentin in his place.
06:08In the hospital, Zoe has a flashback to herself.
06:11As a girl being attacked by a boy, giving her the scar on her wrist, she eventually
06:15is able to go home and her kids are happy to see her.
06:18However, Jason is still hurt, and feels he can't keep pretending like everything is
06:22okay.
06:24Zoe goes to a sex addict support group that Dr. Spencer invited her to.
06:29There, Zoe opens up about a traumatic childhood experience where she was raped.
06:34Jason steps out from the next room to hear what Zoe has to say.
06:38She breaks down in tears and admits her problem, but she still loves Jason and wants to make
06:42the relationship work.
06:44He goes over to her and hugs her.
06:45They kiss and repeat their motto, our love is forever, always has been, always will be.
