If you're open minded, this is a solid film about some NY queer experiences. If you're conservative, this is a bunch of sex.
A exploration of relationship intimacy, taking audiences on a unique journey through a sexually liberated and emotionally complex world.
A smart, poignant and sometimes harsh look at life in post 9/11 NYC. When you accept the sex as part of the story, you'll get it in the end.
A little window into an idealised version of queer culture. It's great though. It also contains a hilarious sex scene.
It isn't about sex but about connection, life, death, depression, gender and community, and how all of those things may be related to sex.
There's so much more than explicit sex on this film, there's care for characters and a moving and artful story. Worth watching!
I think it’s cool that they attempted to use real sex as a means of developing character and plot, but the story itself is unremarkable.
Good movie about coming to terms with sexuality and desires, heads up that there is a lot of extremely graphic sex and nudity
Cute story, looks of funny moments, and just like a daring cast that really goes for it
A unique medium to showcase the deeper meaning that this film holds
