Review of My Year Without Sex

I really enjoyed this movie, although I felt it suffered a little from a common blight of Australian Cinema whereby directors and writers seemingly want to make a movie all things to all people. It was initially touted to me as a comedy but I think it would be better put into the lighthearted drama category. When some catastrophic events occurred within the first 10 minutes I wondered what I'd let myself in for. Many parts of it struck a chord with me, particularly the couple fighting to keep intimacy under the monotony and strain of everyday life. Matt Day gives a stunning performance as the husband with a lot of his plate fighting temptation. I found the little pseudo cliché touches to be masterful, the lottery ticket, the guy at the movies - magic. Well worth a look, but take your tissues ;)
