A dangerous, sexy, poignant and at times darkly funny story about two people who desperately want intimacy but have fashioned lives of reclusivity and emotional fracture which ultimately spells the doom of their great love.
The lovebirds' dialogue has the sophistication of a junior high school romance, and Mr. Schaeffer appears to have pasted his story together from the button-pushing plotlines of other films.

Just another faux-kinky vanity project in which its creator's neuroses are placed on an undeserved pedestal.

Another sanctimonious dose of talk-therapy cinema.
