Movie Review: Olivia Wilde leads playful BDSM comedy 'I Want Your Sex'
- AP's review says Gregg Araki's 'I Want Your Sex' is a provocative comedy about sex and Gen Z intimacy that opens in theaters Friday.
- Olivia Wilde plays Erika Tracy, a commanding gallery artist/executive whose performance the review says anchors the film.
- The story centers on a consensual, sex-only dom-sub relationship between Erika and Elliot, played by Cooper Hoffman.
- Elliot is awkward and already has a girlfriend, Minerva, played by Charli xcx, while he also lives with his best friend Apple, played by Chase Sui Wonders.
- The film frames its narrative around a mystery involving Erika, who is found floating naked and apparently dead in her pool, and detectives played by Johnny Knoxville and Margaret Cho question Elliot about what happened.
AP's review describes 'I Want Your Sex' as a playful, sexually explicit comedy from director Gregg Araki that uses a noir-style mystery as a frame for a larger discussion about sex and the reported lack of intimacy among members of Generation Z.
At the center is Erika Tracy, played by Olivia Wilde. The review says the film depends heavily on whether audiences believe in Erika, a forceful and quotable character whose presence is described as commanding and crucial to the movie's effect.
The plot follows Erika's relationship with Elliot, a younger employee played by Cooper Hoffman. Their arrangement is consensual and sexual, but it complicates Elliot's life, especially as he already has a girlfriend and is questioned by detectives after Erika is found apparently dead in her pool.
影评:奥利维亚·王尔德主演轻佻的BDSM喜剧《I Want Your Sex》
美联社影评把《I Want Your Sex》描述为一部带有嬉闹气质、内容直白的性喜剧,由格雷格·阿拉基执导,并借助黑色电影式的悬疑外壳,讨论性以及外界所称的Z世代亲密关系匮乏问题。
影片核心人物是由奥利维亚·王尔德饰演的伊丽卡·特蕾西。影评认为,这部电影很大程度上取决于观众是否相信伊丽卡这个人物;文中将她写成一个强势、台词犀利、存在感很强的角色。
剧情围绕伊丽卡与由库珀·霍夫曼饰演的年轻员工埃利奥特展开。两人的关系是双方同意的、只涉及性的安排,但这让埃利奥特的生活变得更复杂,尤其是他本身已有女友,而在伊丽卡被发现疑似死于泳池后,他还要面对侦探的讯问。
