I just gonna say that i have not written a comment before..i just liked to read about the titles i had an interest for...This movie made me write a comment! It was totally weird, simple but also meaningful. The story is about a girl that has get isolated to her house because she is afraid to be socialized for her own reasons(i am not gonna reveal) till a guy working on a video club shows a sudden interest on her and tries to get her off her miserable but also "charming" life.
The movie achieves its target having a very interesting plot and emotional at the same time...It has to be said that both of the main actors play really well and give a realistic view of the life where not all the things are like a fairy tale.
If u wanna watch a movie sexy,emotional and weird this is ur movie!

Creepy stalker boy meets unfriendly girl. Girl inexplicably lets boy move into her apartment provided he keep his distance and endure her verbal, emotional and sometimes physical abuse. He lives there alternating between pouting, yelling and insulting her. The film is well acted but the setup is not believable and the characters are annoying and unlikeable. The final 5 minutes explain the girl's behavior but too late to make the previous hour and 20 minutes worthwhile.
The movie is at times a bit slow, and the actress' acting a bit flat but that is part of the whole intriguing plot, which as you suspected at the beginning, is true.
If you're hoping to see porn in the movie just because the descriptions seem to want to tell you that the woman is a porn addict, think differently. The only skin that you'll see is her naked back a few times.
Although the plot unfolds very slowly, that's the point. There are some mental health and abuse issues here, and in real-time most similar interactions would never progress as far as this movie does by the end, and most likely far less successfully as the eventual turnout of the plot.
Interesting, intriguing, not Oscar-candidate but a strong entry especially considering the topic(s) involved.

This film is definitely 'watchable.' Its the sort of film you start to watch expecting very little from but end up very satisfied you decided to 'give it a go.'
Marianna Palka who directed/wrote and stars in this is a fine actress who right at the start reminded me of Helena Bonham Carter for some reason (please feel free to disagree) - she is certainly a talent worth keeping a eye on.
Overall a good film that will leave you pleased you viewed it. Possibly better to rent than to go to the cinema, but that I suppose is my own interpretation!
Enjoy.

I saw this movie last night at the Birmingham Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival during the encore showing and really just fell in love with it. The plot was in depth, the characters were amazing, and while some parts of the movie would keep you laughing, there was a deeper meaning hidden in the movie that was very moving. I think everyone watching the movie could find a certain aspect of a character, situation, argument, etc, that they could connect with. The movie put real life issues that many struggle with in perspective. It was not sugar coated or over done but was reality. I loved everything about it and would love to see it again.

- TriviaBryce Dallas Howard and Seth Gabel credited as Kissing Woman and Kissing Man are married in real life.
- Alternate versionsThe film was released in two different versions. Runtime is the same in both instances, but for the U.S. release, the studio censored, through either dubbing or reduction in volume, a number of four-letter words in order to obtain the more lucrative "PG-13" rating. Careful watchers will notice the differences from time to time.
