male insecurity using sex as manipulation. Also theconcept of seamlessly jumping through time adds to the idea of a problem never changing.
This isn’t a movie I would say I enjoyed, but it definitely has interesting things to say about male sexual insecurity.
This speaks of how toxic men and relationships really are; sexual frustration and experiences are portrayed perfectly thru this great cast
An honest adult drama. A sharp portrait of male sexual relationships and duplicity. Nichols' brilliant direction.
With an interesting story and compelling characters, as well as a great performance from Jack Nicholson. A true classic of New Hollywood
Bunch of people, different pursuits, different personalities, same struggle: love and sex.
Relationship complications tangled with the sexual revolution
Thoughtful film about mores, fantasies, and confusion about how men perceived their relationship to women and how clueless they were.
Very well written. This just wasn’t the one for me.
