Let's Talk About Sex

The most melodramatic piece of GARBAGE I've seen. This is the movie that makes men believe women are overly-dramatic, menstrual, and impossible to understand. It's a total generalization of women, as all the characters are typical stereotypes of lifetime watching, upper-middle class women with too much time on their hands and not enough brains in their heads. I felt absolutely no sympathy for any of these people, not even the one who couldn't have children. Boo hoo, I guess you'll just have to go get your hair done and buy yourself another Gucci suit.

I'm female by the way, and this vulgar display of feminine instability is insulting and untrue. Perhaps one of the worst scenes in this movie is shortly after the girls discover the tape they've been working so hard on has been destroyed and in an attempt to distract themselves they each find an area of their comfortable loft to clean and cry while cleaning products fly in the air. We also get gratuitous cleavage shots while vacuuming.

This movie is not about sex. It's about fakey women getting in touch with how incredibly self-involved they are as they revel in their mediocre problems. All this is done to soft, girly Lilith Fairesque music and soft camera lighting. Plus, as a special treat, all of these women are beautiful and have less than an ounce of fat on them. But you know how difficult life can be when you're beautiful and have little to worry about.

My friend and I were excited to rent a film about women candidly discussing sex, but we soon learned that, instead, this particular movie is about male fantasies regarding how women view sex. We were shocked and dismayed to find out that a woman had written and directed this film.

Anyone who saw this movie ? My boyfriend forced me to see it because he likes the actors. I didn't care for anybody. They are all bad bad bad. There is no story, they are all sitting around and talk. Better talk to your sister or your boyfriend, but he will not listen. Now then talk to your sister. But not about sex, you could hear things you don't want to hear for example that she had sex with your boyfriend although she is more ugly than you.

The documentary style of this petty and trivial film is frightfully boring, it is like sitting within this group and not being able to run away from those fatal stories.

Stay away. Run or die !

There are two things going on in Let's Talk About Sex. One part of the story is the making of a videotape that is to be the pilot of a cable TV program - a talk show where women talk about sex. This aspect of the film works well - it really does capture the feel of things (though the answers given are remarkably forthright; I suspect that you'd have to do a LOT of editing to get anything like that in real life), and the answers are entertaining and sometimes insightful.

The other aspect of the story is a look at the love lives of the three principal characters - the one making the film, and the two friends that she lives with. This part of the film doesn't work nearly as well; the characters just didn't involve me.

Let's Talk About Sex could have been an even better film if it had been done as a straight-up mockumentary. But there's enough good stuff here to make it worth a look.

Just godawful. Not enough nudity to be enjoyed as an exploitation flick, not enough camp to be enjoyed as a comedy, and not nearly enough plot to be taken seriously.

You could learn more about women by renting "Basic Instinct" or "Showgirls".
