This first feature from acclaimed TV director Woolcock may not entirely come off, but at least it's not playing safe.

Reviews for The Principles of Lust
A gripping and disturbing ride, it marks out Woolcock as a major talent for the future.
This tale of a novelist who's drawn into a dark subculture of sex, drugs, and bare-knuckle kiddie fighting is a fascinating failure that scores points for being bold enough to go against the grain.
It trots out explicit scenes of sex, drugs and violence, but ultimately has little to say.
While the sharp script examines ideas of masculinity and romance, it fumbles the ball right when it matters most.
