Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Endless auditions get the annoying Francois nowhere closer to grasping what turns women on.

rotten:
Critics I admire have assured me that many of Brisseau's earlier films are less silly, more interesting, and even commendable.

The content may be dubious, but the execution is hypnotic.

rotten:
Gorgeous French silliness, yes, featuring stunning women having languorous, artful sex with each other. What was I saying? Oh yes, the silliness. Artful, gorgeous, sexy, sure, but ridiculous nonetheless.

fresh:
[Director] Brisseau calculatedly offsets the silliness of the surreal elements and the earnestness applied to the sex by savoring the overall absurdity.
