Quotes
Eve Stephens: I need you desperately.
Renee: [chuckles] Let's see... uh, we met in an elevator, right? We had two drinks, went back to my place and had great sex. You had five orgasms, I only had three. And now you are so desperate to see me?
Eve Stephens: [sits down] Very desperate... doctor.
Renee: Well uh... I'm sorry what was your last name?
Eve Stephens: Stephens.
Renee: Miss Stevens, right. In my professional opinion, you are a deeply compulsive, highly neurotic, extremely co-dependent woman who more then likely loves too much... or too little. I can't remember which.
Eve Stephens: [sarcastic] Finally someone understands me!

A Weird Movie With Bizarre Characters

The compulsive, neurotic, deranged and bi-sexual efficient and tough lawyer Evelyn Stephens (Tilda Swinton) is depending on an interview with the Governor to be appointed as a judge in the court of law. Her kleptomaniac sister Maddie Stephens (Amy Madigan) is finishing her PhD in UCLA. While waiting for her interview, Eve has a simultaneous affair with John (Clancy Brown) and the psychologist Renee (Karen Sillas), and helps her mean sister to leave the jail, arrested in a shoplifting.

"Female Perversions" is a weird movie with bizarre characters. The sad soundtrack and the photography are very beautiful and the interpretations of the cast are excellent. However, although being intriguing and provocative in some moments, the story never reaches a point and sometimes becomes boring. Further, although having naked women and many sex scenes, they are not erotic and does not excite, at least under the view of a man. I did not like this movie, but I recognize that it is a stylistic film with great performances. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Desejos Femininos" ("Female Desires")
