Through a series of emotional encounters and thought-provoking scenarios, the protagonists confront their notions of masculinity and the societal pressures that dictate how they should navigate their relationships.
Critics' Reviews
64
The best scenes in “Sex” are both emotionally complex and provocative, especially Røise and Forberg’s awkward, naturalistic, and very believable conversations about trust and desire. Her frank questions for him run the emotional gamut from sympathetic to absurd, like when she asks her partner, “Surely you can tell me if your *** was sore afterwards?” Some over-reaching dramatic moments can also be charming, like when Khusrawi paraphrases Hannah Arendt in a speech that effectively spells out the movie’s Utopian values.
