Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

youramy1 I liked this movie so much, it should be a continuing show on Showtime with these characters evolving. I especially like how the story subtly opened the characters' "truths" with sparing dialogue. The movie's pace was excellent, I avidly anticipated the succeeding scenes. The material was fresh and handled well. Acting and writing, cinematography and directing were all excellent. The depiction of sex so realistically without anything crossing into exposed flesh was less than seen on Californication, one of the great Showtime series. I was happy to find this gem on Showtime, albeit 3 or 4 years after it was made. The only change I can think of is to give Lorna the nickname: "Cookie" and she can figure out equally annoying nicknames for those who call her that (ha ha).

canandaigua_ny I usually enjoying choosing a film rental which does not tout big-name actors. Fresh faces & talent breathe new life into the medium. "Talent," however, is key. "Sexual Life" certainly has ambition, but the ambition never gets out of the gate. The narratives remain superficial; the acting is not of a high caliber. The film was definitely over-edited.With 9 characters, one would hope that a film entitled "Sexual Life" might explore something more than boy-on-girl sexual relationships. Yawn! There is one gay character, but he is on screen for 3 minutes, sharing a dinner with Anne Heche's character.Azura Skye shows promise here. She should have received top billing.

Suzanne Licht This is an excellent, non-linear film of intimate social mores. The dialog is very well written, with completely believable characters. It is at times funny, heartbreaking, and on some levels disturbing. The acting is world-class, with a wonderful cast. It deals with the complexity of one's sexual life, which can take directions that are against one's overall health and integrity. Each scene was tight and spare, leading beautifully into the next. Human sexuality is probably one of the great mysteries, and it has been given a brilliant and unyielding observation here. The score was at times breathtakingly beautiful. I hope to see more from this writer, director and composer.

jotix100 The idea of the film seems to be inspired in Max Ophuls' "La Ronde", that classic French film that showed how much life is inter connected, which in itself was based on Arthur Schnitzler's play. The theme has been explored in other films, and it probably was what the director of "Sexual Life", Ken Kwapis, wanted to explore.Each person we watch from the beginning, has something to do with someone else, and so on. Sex is what seems to hold these people together. We start with the high priced prostitute and end up with her. In between we get to see how a group of young Los Angeles residents having sexual encounters that are the basis of their coming into each other's orbits. Sex seems to be not a big deal with them and nothing is forever, as we watch them going in their own ways to a new relationship without any guilt at all.The cast assembled do a pretty good job in their different portrayals. Azira Skye, as the prostitute has some good moments. Kevin Corrigan, Anne Heche, Shirley Knight, Fionnula Flanagan, Kerry Washington, Tom Everett Scott, James Legros and the beautiful Elizabeth Banks, do excellent work under the guidance of Mr. Kwapis."Sexual Life" has a great contemporary look. While sex seems to be what consumes all the parties in the movie, it makes for a good excuse to watch some of the best young actors working in movies today having fun.
