Nicely honest and awkward (SPOILERS)
bob the moo8 January 2017
Warning: Spoilers
To try and inject some life into their relationship, Emily and Colten invite a third party into their bedroom to have sex with Emily while Colten watches.

The rather arresting title is hard to ignore – and probably it will stand out as more interesting since it is now the go-to insult of choice for anyone whose politics seek middle-ground or put the interests of others ahead of their own. Although it is adult in content and tone, the film is actually much more delicate than the title suggests it is going to be. Throughout it has a well-judged sense of awkwardness, which beds the drama in a certain amount of realism and honesty. This sexual taste seems so unique to me that I doubt both parties in a relationship would often hold it at the same time, so the woman having her reaction is comic and honest. It heads to a place of honesty as well, and although the climax of the film is not a big one, it is downbeat, honest, and still has that oddly comic tone to it.

I got into this film due to the title perhaps, but it surprised me by being much more tender and engaging than I expected.
