The movie doesn’t have characters but stereotypes and the moment it touches on something real, it sacrifices it for a comedy bit. The film is cohesive enough to be watchable, but if you’re looking for insight, try somewhere else.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jun 13, 2024

In many ways it’s a lot like dozens of marital-mirth comedies that came before it, but It’s unassumingly above average as it indulges the genre’s broader tropes.

The End of Sex is a very funny film with relatable performances and a meaningful story that doesn't focus solely on sex to find connections with its audience.

"There’s much in the film that might resonate with married adults and parents."

The one thing The End of Sex has going for it is Emily Hampshire, who imbues Emma with as much thoughtfulness as possible, working against Jonas Chernik’s shallow script.

While it’s charming, and both leads are very appealing, the film offers a lot more in the way of cringe-laughs than actual laugh-out-loud funny laughs

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 19, 2023

Uneven, not very original... Kind of mediocre, but worth some laughs.

The End of Sex is a weak comedy that tries very hard to be edgy and cute at the same time. It's mostly predictable tedium that's not as open-minded as it tries to look. The women who are queer or sexually liberated in the movie get 'punished' the most.

In The End of Sex, there is no melodrama to be found in the waning of sexual passions or confessions of illicit desires — the ordinariness of domesticity is where true intimacy is slowly nurtured.

Suburban parents are alone for the first time in years. They're really looking forward to sex, "We don't have to close the doors! We can do it anywhere!" but when push comes to shove, it's a bust.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 29, 2023

Despite some big laughs, a sense of emotional detachment prevents this predictable Canadian romantic comedy from working either as a raunchy farce or as a more grounded relationship saga.

| Apr 28, 2023

There is... definite truth in the notion that passion and intimacy take work. It could just all have benefited from a more delicate touch.

| Apr 28, 2023

The by-the-numbers and obvious Canadian comedy The End of Sex will appeal mostly to audiences who want to see something purporting to be edgy, but they don’t want to risk being offended or grossed out.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Apr 28, 2023

As a date night movie it offers up an earnest portrait of the intimacy and connection necessary for a couple to weather the storms of an on-going relationship. It’s no A Married Couple but it does deliver some insights into what makes relationships tick.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 28, 2023

A charming indie rom-com led by Jonas Chernick and Emily Hampshire’s genuine chemistry.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Apr 28, 2023

Lust and laughter run thin in “The End of Sex,” a weirdly traditional comedy in which a bored married couple attempt to revitalize their sex life.

| Apr 27, 2023

The movie's biggest problem, perhaps, is that it eventually forgets it's supposed to be a comedy.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 27, 2023

The End of Sex has low-key romantic comedy charm that goes down easy.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 26, 2023

A dull, toothless and shallow sex comedy that's low on wit, laughs and insight.

| Apr 26, 2023

Many couples will likely engage with <i>The End of Sex</i> in a state of slightly uncomfortable empathy. With its various zany scenarios it exists in a heightened reality, but a recognisable one
