Critics Consensus

One of indie stalwart Gregg Araki's most accessible works yet, this bawdy dramedy leverages well-judged performances by Olivia Wilde and Cooper Hoffman to deliver incisive commentary on carnality and connection.

It’s not only a delight but a relief, an oasis in a desert of movies too timid to show sexuality as both dangerous and alluring.

3.5/4

This silly-sexy slice of pop-noir art world satire serves as Araki’s manifesto about the power and creative energy of the erotic, and it just might be the hottest, and most refreshingly honest, rom-com of the summer.

3/4

Not alway as outrageous as it thinks it is, Gregg Araki’s screwball sex farce about the sizzle Gen Z isn’t feeling soars on the teamwork of Olivia Wilde and Cooper Hoffman.

I Want Your Sex’s most shocking element isn’t its gaudy orgies or playful middle fingers toward retrosexual negativity. It’s Araki’s admission that the world has changed under his feet, and that he’s ill-equipped to figure it out on his own this time.

I Want Your Sex is funny, sexy, and shot across the bow at those who would limit our sexual expression and the ways in which we explore. Finally, cinema has a breath of fresh air in a cruel reality.

I Want Your Sex has fun parodying BDSM lifestyles and trendy artists who use sex to sell their art. The performances are terrific in this story about a submissive art studio assistant in a twist-filled obsessive relationship with his dominatrix boss.

The trailer of the movie indicated something different than it actually is. Poor acting quality and setting different expectations. I don’t recommend this movie

I genuinely have no idea what I just watched. At least it was entertaining? It got afew laughs out of me. That was the only saving grace. Save your money. This is a great background stream type movie.
