    "Intimacy" is the sort of film you respect more than like. The use of full-frontal nudity and graphic sex worked better in "Romance" because the inherent art-house cache of a foreign language gave the horizontal gymnastics some levity. Since the actors speak English in "Intimacy", oral sex is just oral sex, thus feels closer to pornography. Kerry Fox's job is to distract us from the fact that her character is nothing more than a nymphomaniac by looking tortured. But Fox's performance is so good, she does. Still, I'm skeptical if vertical smiles and scrotums is a trend that's worth continuing.… Expand

    A better film than Romance (as the trend is to compare the two) but still not a film I would strongly recommend to anyone, especially family :-) It explores some deep emotional and human themes but how well it does that is really up to each individual viewer. This one was not overly affected.

    A new version of the greatest psychological mystery of all: love.

    If Intimacy does anything well, it portrays desperation, in many different forms.

    Plays like a warmed-over "Last Tango in Paris," with more explicit sex but a lower level of originality and acting skill.
