100Vibrating with humanity, it's a potent portrait of love, ranging from the purely carnal to the impurely sublime.
-
80It isn't the sex that shocks here, it's the chilling core of loneliness. Intimacy dares to cut deep, and its daring gets to you.
-
80Although much has and will be made of the film's sexual explicitness -- and, yes, it is a bit -- this less-than-perfect but deeply felt film is finally most daring for its hard-core insistence on our need for connection.
-
50Plays like a warmed-over "Last Tango in Paris," with more explicit sex but a lower level of originality and acting skill.
