Despite natural perfs, characters aren't very articulate or well-defined.

The film's primary function seems to be in lensing the banalities of everyday living. To that end, the film is successful; in providing illumination to those banalities, one will have to look elsewhere.

People don't make movies like this in America (if at all), and it is bound to make some viewers uncomfortable. The filmmakers are using graphic sexuality to make a point, which to some extent works.

It may be a "courageous" film, but it's not a very good movie.

Not only does the film look amazing, it covers many layers of relationships in a way I've never seen before.

A banal and mostly useless film

"kissing on the mouth" had more dick in it than I think I've ever seen in a non-porn movie. Lots of boobs, too. All in all it was cool, but kinda redundant in it's discussions of love after college (not the most interesting topic to hear about for ninety minutes). Oh yeah, when I saw it I remember thinking, "This is the first emo movie."
