How to Have Sex Reviews
A fantastic film about consent and fake friendships.
I don't know why some people consider it such a good movie. Quite boring, but it mostly benefits from marketing and picture. Very boring and irritating in some moments.. especially when the girls they scream. The only thing that's worth it is the meaning.
dont be put off by the title, a touching movie that grows on you
La peor pelicula que he visto en toda mi vida. Planos sin sentido, trama sin sentido, personajes vacios y actores que no dan la talla.
Es una película aburrida y muy lenta. No me gustó
Al principio pensé que sería una película con más drama o que realmente mostraría un lado oscuro, pero mientras más avanzaba más aburrida se convertía, hay momentos rescatables pero en general peca de aburrida dependiendo de un título que genera morbo al espectador para que la vea
That's how British people have fun on holidays. Kinda sad.
A masterful look into the binge party world of adolescence and regrets that are all too familiar to many. Uncomfortable and unforgettable. Beautifully crafted film.
Winner of 2023 Un Certain Regard Award at Cannes, Molly Manning Walker's directorial debut is a searingly honest and frighteningly realistic essay about girls' sexual pressure and consent when a trio of teenage schoolgirls goes on the "best holiday ever" in Malia to club, drink and hook up in their post-GCSE celebration of newfound freedom.
In 85 mins this packs a PUNCH. I felt like I couldn’t breathe the whole time and it broke my heart. The neon lights, the music, the perfectly captured loneliness in a crowded room, pressures of being a teen/partying/hooking up, kindness of strangers, shittiness of friends, etc. Mia Mckenna Bruce’s expression and eyes say it all. Hope this sparks more conversation than division / demonization. “Would you rather be a baby goat or a mata baby”
Chaotic edition, sometimes exhausting narrative, and with some kind of message (?) in the end
#Recommended 6/10
Kind of a British Spring Breakers.
Powerful acting and deeply uncomfortable, especially for someone with a young daughter. I imagine these kind of scenarios are terrifiningly common.
Stellar acting, beautiful and uncomfortable coming-of-age film focused on hedonistic culture and what really matters. I cried after the film, because I felt sad for humans in general. It captures the pain and beauty of the human experience.
You got to love a movie that is so real. Currently at 65% so I can only assume the other 35% have never experienced or could relate to this type of holiday partying atmosphere. We all wished it went another 20 minutes and ended how we wanted, but this movie was so real!
Great message, tough watch.
Pretty awful. I have to assume all the 5 star ratings must be paid for.
"How to Have Sex" is a very unique take on a coming-of-age movie. The movie isn't as focused on being light and funny, despite many vibrant party sequences. I feel like the movie was more designed to feel bleak and uncomfortable, which contrasted with its visual style, and made for a unique watching experience. I think the three leads here genuinely feel like real teenagers, so the movie ends up being effective. I do think it is a slower movie and a lot of time is given just to reflect on intense moments I witnessed. Overall, it is a fascinating movie that raises some good discussions and is also just well-made and engaging.
So boring, stopped watching after 40%. Don't trust the rating.
