Here there is no depth, no brilliant script, no plot, no transcendent issue... nothing more than 15 minutes of ridiculous wild sex for men with the intention of selling the movie disguised as the biggest love history story ever told, but it's only pornography. If two men have been the protagonists (or a man and a woman), the director would never have recreated in a sex scene between them like this and the movie would not have been so brightfull for critics. This movie offers nothing more than the curiosity of female homosexuality and especially the explicit images to prove it. If the couple had been heterosexual and if realistic sex had been treated in a more subtle manner, this movie never had been so praised. But of course, heterosexual critics liked it a lot and for that reason this film won Cannes. It sucks.

I am not even sure I can say "scissoring" without thinking of my gay brother, he a teen, me about 8 or so, playing with my sister's Barbies and putting them in that position and cackling, doubled over. So far from erotic, I am not sure there is a word for it. chimoleranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-69711682060690895662013-11-19T17:42:30.689-08:002013-11-19T17:42:30.689-08:00yes yes word, words and wait did you say you have ...yes yes word, words and wait did you say you have loved and experienced heartbreak DS? <br /><br />put more words to that please. tell us; we need to know. <br /><br /><br />thanks spitfirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15148198945142285652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-82857692347997005232013-11-14T11:25:02.343-08:002013-11-14T11:25:02.343-08:00"The first thing you’ll need to know is this ..."The first thing you’ll need to know is this movie is French, so French."<br /><br />Are they fatalists? I've never figured the frenchies out through vis-a-vis) their cinema. You would think with all their bourgeois clamoring about sex they would know a thing or two 'bout lesbionic sex. Haven't seen it yet, & now wondering if I ever will with these revelations about asses and spaghetti, open mouthes and such other unlikely combinations.

After suffering through the first 20 mins of all this, the sex scenes were nothing because my stomach was already churning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-60214989588629639292013-11-13T15:21:53.189-08:002013-11-13T15:21:53.189-08:00Typical Dorothy lack of standards and taste.

I mean, you think The Kids Are Alright was a good movie, so no one should be shocked that you have no problem with a male director abusing actresses and putting his pornish fantasies all over the screen and calling it art.Saranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-20495127622464257862013-11-13T13:17:05.206-08:002013-11-13T13:17:05.206-08:00thank you for your review, snarker, i've been ...thank you for your review, snarker, i've been looking forward to it. now all i have to do is wait until i can watch the film. then i'll agree or disagree with you. :)<br />(@oblitenation)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-11406733289349904242013-11-13T11:52:17.976-08:002013-11-13T11:52:17.976-08:00Best review of this movie I've read so far.

The sex was not pretty and super smooth like American movies but it seemed real, like regular people in the throes of passion and love not the manicured sex in American movies. It didn't feel like 3 hours had passed. In fact, I wanted more story. azinthesunnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-80867105716968266882013-11-13T11:13:33.621-08:002013-11-13T11:13:33.621-08:00You counted ...

But everything else here is spot on. I mean, scissoring? Enough already. When I watched there were a lot of older straight couples and men, which meant frequent low rumbles of uncomfortable male laughter. lorinb79https://www.blogger.com/profile/12708253124625561476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-42951368841068739622013-11-13T07:29:52.899-08:002013-11-13T07:29:52.899-08:00Great review, convinced me to see the movie.
