Newt's movie review
It's darkly humoured, has excellent dialogue, good story, is unusual yet pertinent, professional but not overdone. It's impressive.
There's full frontal (male and female) and varied sex acts (actual not simulated), but it is the characters' stories which drive the film. It is not gay, it is not straight; it's about sex, sexuality, and relationships. It's about people.
