"The year is 2025, all of the most popular right-wing influencers are proud virgins who love Hitler, and it's up to a 66-year-old filmmaker to remind the young people of America that it's OK to be horny. I don't entirely understand how we got here, but I'm glad that Gregg Araki is doing something about it. The first movie he's made since "White Bird in a Blizzard" was released 12 years ago,"
"Not because they won't get hurt (the film 's 23-year-old protagonist is introduced bleeding from every hole on his face while his naked boss floats face-down in a nearby pool), but rather because they almost definitely will. Because there's something beautiful and necessary to being honest about what they really want, even if getting it proves complicated. "I Want Your Sex" pleads with its target demographic to transcend the psychic trauma"
A movie centers on a 23-year-old protagonist who is introduced bleeding from every hole on his face while his naked boss floats face-down in a nearby pool. The narrative urges Gen Z to embrace consensual sexual exploration and accept the risks and complications that accompany desire. Sex is presented as an unimpeachable truth amid a landscape malformed by lies and money. The tone mixes funny camp and tame art-world satire, portraying an anti-woke Los Angeles artist, Erika Tracy, as a self-described "pretentious whore from hell." The film contends that honest pursuit of desire can foster self-knowledge through risk-taking, mistakes, and learning.
