What to Know

Critics Consensus

One of indie stalwart Gregg Araki's most accessible works yet, this bawdy dramedy leverages well-judged performances by Olivia Wilde and Cooper Hoffman to deliver incisive commentary on carnality and connection.

Joey Shapiro Chicago Reader 2d
It’s not only a delight but a relief, an oasis in a desert of movies too timid to show sexuality as both dangerous and alluring. Go to Full Review
Katie Walsh Tribune News Service 2d
3.5/4
This silly-sexy slice of pop-noir art world satire serves as Araki’s manifesto about the power and creative energy of the erotic, and it just might be the hottest, and most refreshingly honest, rom-com of the summer. Go to Full Review
Peter Travers The Travers Take 2d
3/4
Not alway as outrageous as it thinks it is, Gregg Araki’s screwball sex farce about the sizzle Gen Z isn’t feeling soars on the teamwork of Olivia Wilde and Cooper Hoffman. Go to Full Review
Carla Hay Culture Mix 5h
I Want Your Sex has fun parodying BDSM lifestyles and trendy artists who use sex to sell their art. The performances are terrific in this story about a submissive art studio assistant in a twist-filled obsessive relationship with his dominatrix boss. Go to Full Review
Dino-Ray Ramos DIASPORA 6h
B
Sharp and snide dialogue mixes with unhinged erotica for pure bliss of Arakian camp that surprisingly has more layers of social commentary than you think. Go to Full Review
Tara McNamara Common Sense Media 9h
2/5
You can't be surprised when this problematic "satire" force feeds you a barrage of sexual images: The title, the poster, and the tagline—"Don't Worry, You'll like It"—all supplied the warning. Go to Full Review

Robert 5h The trailer of the movie indicated something different than it actually is. Poor acting quality and setting different expectations. I don’t recommend this movie See more Kenneth P 22h I genuinely have no idea what I just watched. At least it was entertaining? It got afew laughs out of me. That was the only saving grace. Save your money. This is a great background stream type movie. See more Shaun S 1d Has something to say, fun, real, looks great See more David M 1d Fun movie. Glad to have Araki back. See more Tom B 1d Mediocre off-beat comedy that frequently misses the mark. See more Austin 1d So fun, great acting. Love Charli but stop putting her in movies. See more Read all reviews
