I vacillated between giving "Better Than Sex" a 6 or 7 star rating for quite some time, but in the end it really is a better film than just "a little" above average. The movie - a study and portrayal of two people engaging in sex with a "light-hearted" attitude is compelling, realistic, entertaining, and completely delightful.<br /><br />I know I'm not supposed to refer to another voter's comments, but I totally agree with someone who wrote that they saw this film again immediately after their first viewing. It really is that watchable.<br /><br />Shot in Australia, its unpretentious and unassuming treatment of sexual obsession is light years away from other (particularly American) films with a similar theme , such as "9 ½ weeks". There's no gloss or "spit and shine" polish here. No Kim-Bassinger- siren nor Mickey Rourke bravado with sweat dripping off the main characters as though they were screwing for the Olympics. There are just two horny buggers normal people going through the motions of God's gift to the living, (coupled with emotional entanglement).<br /><br />And hey, what could be better than that? |
