The AP review says Olivia Wilde is the standout in Gregg Araki’s “I Want Your Sex,” playing Erika Tracy with a strong, quotable presence. The film is framed as a playful, provocative comedy, with the review comparing Erika’s forceful screen presence to a memorable fictional executive figure.
The story uses a noir-leaning mystery as its setup, but the review says the main focus is sex and the lack of intimacy associated with Generation Z. That theme is explored through a consensual dom-sub relationship between Erika and Elliot, a younger employee played by Cooper Hoffman.
The review notes that Elliot is questioned by detectives played by Johnny Knoxville and Margaret Cho after Erika is found floating unconscious in her pool. Chase Sui Wonders, Charli xcx and others also appear in the film, which is set to open in theaters Friday.
影评：奥利维亚·王尔德在轻佻的BDSM喜剧《I Want Your Sex》中表现抢眼
美联社的这篇影评认为，奥利维亚·王尔德是格雷格·阿拉基新片《I Want Your Sex》的亮点，她饰演的Erika Tracy具有强烈而鲜明的银幕存在感。文章把这部作品描述为一部轻佻而挑逗的喜剧，并强调Erika的气场极强、台词很有记忆点。
影片以一条带有黑色电影气质的悬疑线索展开，但影评指出，真正的重点在于性以及Z世代普遍存在的亲密关系不足。电影通过Erika和由库珀·霍夫曼饰演的年轻员工Elliot之间一段双方自愿的主导/臣服关系来呈现这一主题。
影评还写到，在Erika被发现昏迷漂浮在泳池中后，Elliot要接受由约翰尼·诺克斯维尔和玛格丽特·周饰演的侦探盘问。Chase Sui Wonders、Charli xcx等人也出演了这部电影，该片定于周五在影院上映。
