We get to care for the characters, but would like to have understood them better.

While My Year Without Sex tackles life and potential death issues head on, it is, put simply, bloody funny.

Watt strives to cram a great deal into a small space, but her special triumph is that the strain never shows. My Year Without Sex stands as the most accomplished Australian film so far this year.

While there are occasions where the film appears to be going nowhere in particular, the undeniable believability of the characters makes the wait for a return to relevance simply whiz by.

A gem of a film: a wonderfully observed snapshot that canvasses the emotional pulse of a family in the suburbs. It's the slant with which Watt affectionately embraces her characters that make it so engaging.

There’s a lovely assurance to Sarah Watt’s screenplay and direction, she knows her characters well and her affection shows.

Funny, moving, tense and entertaining, it's a strong follow-up to the sublime Look Both Ways.

A year without sex is actually one of the lesser challenges that Watt tackles, with stout heart and a rich instinct for human comedy.

It’s [the] honest, natural performances and the way most average Aussies will relate to their sorry situation that makes My Year Without Sex all worth it.
