OK in some respects, but treats female sexual dysfunction like it's just made up
It was definitely OK on some levels, but the biggest problem was that it almost entirely treated female sexual dysfunction like it was just a psychological issue (stress, relationship problems, etc) or a sex ed issue (adult women not knowing where their clitoris is, etc). Only at the very end when discussing a testosterone patch specifically for women suffering from low libido after a hysterectomy were physiological causes even acknowledged to exist, and then only obliquely.
The basic gist is that if you're looking for a film that covers the dire state of pharmaceutical sex research, ranging from the fact that almost no professional in this film was able to talk without giggling, squirming, and hiding their faces, or how the industry has labeled low libido as a "disease" just to sell drugs to healthy women who just need porn and a vibrator and a partner who does their share of the housework, then this is great.
If you're suffering from low libido for non-psychological reasons and are looking for something to validate your problems and give you hope for a solution, this film is absolutely not for you.
