The Associated Press review says Olivia Wilde is the center of attention in Gregg Araki’s "I Want Your Sex," playing Erika Tracy, a forceful and highly quotable fictional executive. The review compares the character’s presence to that of Miranda Priestly, while noting that Wilde makes the role convincing rather than merely eccentric.
The film is described as a playful, provocative comedy about sex and Generation Z’s intimacy problems. Its story follows an employer-employee arrangement that becomes a sex-only dom-sub relationship between Erika and Elliot, played by Cooper Hoffman. The review says the film does not take itself very seriously, but still depends on the audience believing Erika’s outrageous behavior and the mystery surrounding her apparent fall into a pool.
The cast includes Chase Sui Wonders as Elliot’s best friend Apple, Charli xcx as his girlfriend Minerva, and Johnny Knoxville and Margaret Cho as detectives questioning Elliot. The review says the movie is in theaters Friday and frames Araki’s approach as sharp, humorous, and deliberately outrageous.
影评：奥利维亚·王尔德撑起了轻松挑衅的BDSM喜剧《I Want Your Sex》
美联社影评认为，奥利维亚·王尔德是格雷格·阿拉基电影《I Want Your Sex》的核心人物，她饰演的 Erika Tracy 既强势又很有记忆点。评论把这个角色与《穿普拉达的女王》中的米兰达作比较，同时指出王尔德让这个角色显得可信，而不只是古怪。
影片被描述为一部关于性和 Z 世代亲密关系困境的轻松、挑衅式喜剧。故事围绕一段雇主与雇员之间、仅限性关系的主从式安排展开，库珀·霍夫曼饰演的 Elliot 与 Erika 形成这种关系。影评认为影片并不把自己看得太严肃，但仍需要观众相信 Erika 夸张的言行，以及她似乎从泳池中跌落的谜团。
影片还包括 Chase Sui Wonders 饰演 Elliot 的好友 Apple，Charli xcx 饰演女友 Minerva，Johnny Knoxville 和 Margaret Cho 则饰演盘问 Elliot 的警探。评论提到该片于周五上映，并将阿拉基的处理方式概括为尖锐、幽默且刻意夸张。
