Critic Reviews

Lisa Schwarzbaum

Shows a beguiling aptitude for self-mockery in the pursuit of polemic. Read full review

Ernest Hardy

Those who are already in her (Breillat) camp will find much to feed on in this at once intellectualized and accessible, documentary-style peek inside the head of a passionately driven woman and artist. Read full review

Ty Burr

A rigorous and bracingly charming movie about moviemaking. Read full review

Sean Axmaker

It feels too self-satisfied, but the prickly personalities and relationships have the ring of experience. Read full review

Roger Ebert

Sex Is Comedy is not sure what it's really about, or how to get there; the director is seen as flighty and impulsive, the situations seem like set-ups, and we never know what the Actor and Actress are really thinking -- or if thinking has anything to do with it. Read full review

Lisa Nesselson

A not terribly creative movie about the creative process. Read full review

Ruthe Stein

Annoying, soporific and singularly humorless. Read full review

wow I saw this on IFC and this movie had such a good bulid up all the way for the last scene and it payed off, yes you cant watch if you have the attention span of a 3 year old but overall I loved this film and is one of my all time favs.

The premise was enticing, but the presentation was not engaging. Most of the time the script called for the actors to portray the emotional range of a tomato, and they delivered.

One of the most insufferable movies I've ever sat through half of. Was this a comedy? It certainly wasn't dramatic.
