Stuck in a relationship going nowhere with his girlfriend Minerva (Charli xcx) and confused about his sexuality, frustrated and neurotic twentysomething Elliott (Hoffman) finds himself suddenly at the sexual beck and call of his boss, domineering and ultra-confident art gallery boss Erika (Wilde). Is this a toxic relationship or is there something deeper growing between these apparently very different people? Exploring generational differences, sexual politics and queerness with his customary visual panache, fearlessness and affection, iconic director Araki makes a welcome return to feature filmmaking with this hilarious and weirdly moving battle of the sexes.
Under the Radar – “After 39 years in the business, Araki is still capable of directing work that is well-written, thoughtfully shot and cast, and consistently entertaining.” (full review here)
Brian Orndorf – “‘I Want Your Sex’ is lively work from the director, making his best movie in decades, offering renewed spirit and mischief while tending to the complexity of these animated personalities.” (full review here)
The Jam Report – “Anchored by a fearless Olivia Wilde and another star-making turn from Cooper Hoffman, it’s a sexy comedy with brains, heart, and a wicked sense of humour.” (full review here)
