Sex Weather

They knew each other from making films, and after too much drinking wound up in bed together come morning. He is ready to leave, but can't find his phone. Apparently he may have left it in a car, but she can't get in touch with the driver, as he isn't answering, so he can't leave until there is an answer, and she says it is fine to stay, as her shoot is later in the night, so she has all day. So they spend the day really talking. They try to get to know each other and about each other in relationship to each other. So they go beyond the superficial things that often result in a first date becoming no second date. When she gets the message that his phone is found, he still has time before his flight, so he doesn't have to leave right away. But then it turns out she has a secret. Neither of them have had good relationships, so feelings come hard for each. Unexpected twist at the end, but perhaps should have been expected. They did use scenes of the world outside of her apartment to denote the passage of time. It got a bit obvious after awhile.

I have to agree with a lot that's been stated so far about this movie... The one that was a serious thumbs-down review I thought was overly critical! I thought the writing the acting and everything that went into this film was really quite enjoyable to watch!

There is something special here that never quite gets realized. Aspirational film-making is not something to be ashamed of nor is being able to eek out a quality product from sparsely more than a shoe-string budget: this movie reeks of both. The actors seem to be working at the extremes of their skill and each almost(!) deliver. The nudity (particularly male, but also in general) is surprisingly explicit, but is also comical and casual enough that it never feels gratuitous. This, combined with the plot's focus on the fleeting nature of 'falling in love' juxtaposed against the tasks of commitment and struggle inherent to serious long-term relationships make Sex Weather feel relevant in some way. The decision to cast an interracial couple is bound to be an attention-getter...and I wish the movie would just delve into this factor of the character's differing identities instead of making them seem mostly culturally identical. Ultimately, the almost bipolar shifts in emotion displayed by the characters in the course of a 24 hour period really highlights the state of many relationships in 2017 (when the movie was made) till today. All in all, the director, writers and actors have definitely showed they have something to offer and perhaps will deliver more of it in their next respective projects.

I don't understand why the low scoring. This is a good movie in my opinion, with great acting, and an interesting story about connecting with people in our times.

Seriously? Who writes this stuff? I would be ashamed to have my name associated with this movie. It just goes to show hard up these actors and directors etc are for a buck. Was it really worth it for you? Negativity is worth as much as good fortune !
