    One of the best films of this year...unlike anything you've seen on the big screen.

    A landmark -- the first movie to give a convincing, feature-length account of sex from a woman's point of view.

    For those who believe that movies are a proper place to explore the riddle of sex, no holds barred, this movie is de rigueur.
  4. Sex may, indeed, be all in the mind, but Romance fails to score in the mind's eye.
