Soft Core Porn
This movie wasn't really satisfying - I felt like I watching a porno the entire time, with occasional random scenes of either of the leads doing something that might be considered heartwarming or normal. These two people don't seem to have a life at all - we see the woman working once or twice, and never the man. They are trapped in a sex dream with each other which only gets more intense as their lives start becoming strange on the family front. Not really a great movie to watch, unless you are watching it with someone else for pure pleasure.
Extremes
I was skeptical about watching this movie because of the mixed reviews, saying it's not very emotional, even empty in places. But its not empty at all, very powerful in fact. The main character explains who she is from the very beginning. It sets the tone for understanding what she does throughout the movie. If you think love must come before sex then you may not like this movie. If you think words should come before sex you may not like it either. Sexual people can express themselves extremely well through a sexual experience, few words spoken, and the act connects them unlike words could. This movie is about understanding extremely sexual people and their search to make themselves whole by connecting with another person. No doubt what they ... Read More
They Can't Show Enough Skin to Make This One Appealing
Ugly people having sex, smothered in tattoos. No, its not a hardcore porn movie. It inhabits the middle distance between hardcore and soft core porn. It is the kind of movie that businessmen pay $4.00 to watch in the privacy of their room at the La Quinta while on a business trip. Erections sans cumshots.
Ask yourself why David (Eric Balfour, a greasy, unattractive dude) would leave the only attractive woman in the movie, Victoria (played by Polly Shannon) for someone as just this side of ugly, Leila (Lauren Lee Smith).
Like most faux art movies, sex moves the plot, rather than the plot incorporating the sex in a meaningful way. The "actors" mumble their lines which are worthless dialogue anyway and not worth hearing. ... Read More
Quiet, yet moving
This movie has an art house/independent film presentation. No wasted dialogue (except for a few of the voiceovers). Powerful love/sex scenes. Nice chemistry between the two leads.
disapointing!
How this movie got as high a rating as it did is beyond me. I bought it for the ratings but was sadly disappointed. No plot, poor acting, little nudity and only in lead actress (and actor) no others. Even the body of the lead actress left something to be desired (extremely thin with not much muscle tone except legs, and a long torso) For you females, the lead actor had a nice body but he carried himself like a stiff robot and, as I said, the acting was very forced and contrived. What plot there was was really unrealistic with the rapid progress to the sex stage unatural and pretty unbelievable.
Don't buy this movie if you're a thinking person.
