One thing I like about this movie is that there are really no villains or bullies. People are just people. It's both edgy without being mean spirited. It's gentle and nice and funny.
I really loved the movie, despite not being 10 star worthy to me. This also kind of reminded me of some real-world situations I have been in, and got me thinking how the other person might have felt about it.
Sex Appeal (2022) - ❤x6
This is quite silly, and stupid - but also quite cute and sweet.
How I rate:
1-3 ❤ = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 ❤ = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 ❤ = I expect you will like this too
9-10 ❤ = movies and TV shows I really love!
This movie doesn't discuss why the main character has never had a sexual feeling or desire. She has to ask other people their thoughts on sex because she has none of her own.
She has a boyfriend, but she only wants to have sex because she thinks it's something he will want to do. She might as well be a lesbian faking it.
When they actually have sex, it's not clear if she didn't like it because he is a bad lover, or she doesn't like sex with men, or in general.
Dealing with the reality of the situation and having a discussion about people being asexual or whatever her situation is would have made a much smarter movie.
