Critic Reviews

Robert K. Elder

It makes you sweat, laugh, squirm and self explore like few films -- fictional or documentary -- can. Read full review

Carla Meyer

More depressing than liberating, but it's never boring. Read full review

Eric Campos

I love sex with strangers! Yeah, the film is cool too. But damn, do I love sex with strangers! Read full review

Ty Burr

Explicit yet consistently unerotic. It's also intensely sad, capturing everything about these people except the high they ceaselessly chase. Read full review

Kimberley Jones

The whole thing still reeks of voyeurism -- and not the fly-on-the-wall voyeurism of a vérité doc, but rather the dirty-old-man-in-the-peep-show-booth kind. Might as well just wait for it to hit late-night cable. Read full review

Jonathan Foreman

Even a hardened voyeur would require the patience of Job to get through this interminable, shapeless documentary about the swinging subculture. Read full review

A.O. Scott

It's the element of condescension, as the filmmakers look down on their working-class subjects from their lofty perch, that finally makes Sex With Strangers so distasteful. Read full review
