    A brutal shocker that is difficult to watch.

    In Sexual Dependency, the filmmaker Rodrigo Bellott flirts with the allowable limit of themes in one movie. His frenzied but clever first film juggles race, class, jingoism, homophobia, sexual attraction and rape.
  3. 60
    Its power lies in the intense, subtle performances of the ensemble cast and Bellott's ability to keep the tangled narrative threads from becoming a knotted mess.
  4. 10
    As theory, Sexual Dependency is no worse than a tinny artist's statement, but as moviemaking, it's brutally embarrassing, inexcusable.

    Rodrigo is a genius and Sexual Dependency follows his creativity and his sensual style. It puts Hollywood to shame.
