Yes, it's true. This film is a bit of a turkey but it does have its moments. For instance, one of my favourite scenes takes place during Catherine's last treatment with Dr. Glass. Straddling an armless black leather chair with her legs spread out on either side, she confronts Dr. Glass with a seductive sexual purr about his fantasies of wanting to sleep with her. She goes into explicit detail about how he'd like to ravage her all the while we hear the squeaking of the leather fabric on the chair that she's straddling. It was a great moment. Probably the best in the entire movie. The audience literally burst out laughing when Catherine suddenly breaks her predatory purr and gets up from the chair then walks out of the office.
True, this film will probably go onto to win a bunch of Razzies but I'm sure it will do relatively well on home video with the "rated" and "unrated" versions. I got a sense that a lot of the sexuality was cut out of the movie. A lot of the steamy scenes felt chopped to bits by bad editing.
Do I recommend you go see this film in the theatre? If you simply want to see a little bit of eye candy, fluff and experience Ms. Stone at trying to squeeze what's left out of the role that helped catapult her to stardom, then by all means go for it. But be for-warned. This movie is pretty bad. Even laughable at certain points that are suppose to be serious. It's camp value I think, but that's just my opinion. You be the judge after watching it.
