Deborah Young

Though not every moment is fascinating to watch, most moments are, and adult audiences should find its frank presentation of the diversity of intimacy thought-provoking and possibly therapeutic. Read full review

You could say that what the film is about lies just beyond the reach of images or words. It’s a necessarily cerebral meditation on the nature of physicality. Read full review

Touch Me Not‘s commingling of narrator and narrative, character and actor, fiction and documentary suggests that cinema itself is capable of being a manner of touch, the site of a nebulous and freeing encounter between people. Read full review

Jay Weissberg

People will want to make their own minds up about the film, but for me there is something worryingly crass and naive in it. Read full review

Gripping tale of seeking out flaws and patterns in life through those lives who have touched upon it. Embarrassing and brutally honest.
