Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Sex Is Comedy is not sure what it's really about, or how to get there.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
3 Dec 2004
fresh:
In Jeanne's world, and Breillat's, filmed sex is no ordinary eye candy. For their characters, it's an admission of a dark, complicated interior life that only the bravest of actors, finally, can expose on screen.
– Tom Keogh,
Seattle Times,

fresh:
If Breillat's aim is demystifying how passion and desire are simulated on-screen, then Sex Is Comedy is successful.
– Terry Lawson,
Detroit Free Press,
10 Dec 2004
fresh:
Reminds us what a vulnerable undertaking acting can be, and what an intimate, manipulative, caring and torturous act directing is.
– Lisa Kennedy,
Denver Post,
17 Dec 2004
rotten:
Annoying, soporific and, despite its title, singularly humorless.
– Ruthe Stein,
San Francisco Chronicle,
