This movie is one of those to slowly discover. It looks some kind of cheap from the beginning and it appears to have no precise direction at first, but as the story evolves and the relationships entangle it is getting better and better.
The psychology of the plot is absolutely believable and the actors are led so sensitively and delicately by the director that their performance has some really outstanding moments. The movie is really getting strong when it defies the conventions of the typical American movie-morality. A threesome relationship is depicted as something that does not infest relationships per se, but as a possible way of living and loving, if those who are involved are sincere and wholehearted. The way you love does not matter as long as you do it without treason and lies.
It starts with the burning of the American flag in a class at university as an example of freedom of opinion, and it ends with a decision to live in a way that is rejected as scandalous by the majority. And in between it tells a story about the risks and fears of establishing your personal utopia. It's daring and provoking. And it is sexy. too...
If you cannot cope with those topics, return to your suppressed and/or guilt ridden sexual fantasies. If you are open minded and believe in the capability of human emotions to transcend rigid social rules, this one is for you!
