'Touch me not' is an audiovisual essay about the limits. The mental, corporeal and social limits. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.75/5 | Jun 23, 2020

It tries to be provocative, but it ultimately is just meaningless and rather meandering.

| Sep 20, 2019

Though it probably takes on more issues than it can handle, Touch Me Not is an intriguing oddity in a world saturated with sexual imagery, but where the subtleties of intimacy remain largely mysterious.

| Original Score: B-plus | Aug 23, 2019

More successful in its analytical and clinical researching aims than it is as a work of art, [but] there's little denying that Piatilie has crafted something important.

| Original Score: 6.5/10 | Aug 21, 2019

The problem with Pintilie's adaptation is that there is a level of ingenuity that reflects in how topics about sexuality portrayed in the film. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 12, 2019

A sensual and liberating film. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 12, 2019

Awkward execution.

| Original Score: C | Jun 5, 2019

An interesting but exhausting work. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 3, 2019

How much it will work for you will depend to a great degree for your tolerance for hearing other people talk at length about their sexual problems... Interesting enough for those curious by the description to consider checking it out.

Even with all its rough edges, Touch Me Not is still a compelling watch. There are no comparisons - it's a truly unique entity.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Mar 12, 2019

Like its vulnerable on-screen subjects, there's a beauty behind the film's flaws.

| Mar 2, 2019

"Touch Me Not," is fairly mesmerizing as a mindful curio that blends performance and honesty, artifice and openness, to achieve a kind of inviting clarity about the healing power of bodily contact.

| Feb 28, 2019

Rather than explore titillations and diverse sexual interests, Pintilie guts the whole notion of sex for pleasure in mise-en-scène of dysfunction that evoke, in turns, body horror, apathy, and shame.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Feb 28, 2019

It's ugly and overlong and humourless, making the sorts of mistakes that you'd expect from a first-year film student.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 7, 2019

An intentional blurring of the lines of reality, fiction, and fantasy. Confrontational, experiential storytelling that will move some, while offending or boring others.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 3, 2019

Touch Me Not's title sounds forbidding, unwelcoming, and yet the film's patchwork of human experience is ultimately uplifting.

| Jan 23, 2019

Touch Me Not is definitely abstract and intellectualized ... but so much of the film left me cold, even bored.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 11, 2019

Bold and unconventional with poetic cinematography, but often emotionally vapid, tedious and exhausting.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jan 10, 2019

A curiously intense, weirdly tranquil experience, at times hard to watch and then hard to shake.

| Jan 10, 2019

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.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 7, 2019
