About
You’ll likely enjoy this intimate, dialogue-driven adult comedy-drama if you like sex-positive, self-discovery stories; Not for you if frank themes, nudity, or relationship talk between strangers in one room sounds unappealing, even compared with The Affair or I May Destroy You.
Pros: standout lead chemistry; intimate hotel-room setting; thoughtful sex-positive tone | Cons: nudity limited; pacing drags mid-film; some conflict feels forced
