Summary: Olivia Howell (Skye Noel) is a 27-year-old gender studies graduate student who’s grappling with her sexual orientation and concerned she may not have one at all, so she attends an asexuality support group.

But after revealing her concerns and neuroses, she’s told to try out other groups. As a friendly gesture to help Olivia get a grip on her disturbing-to-others sexual identity crisis, her pal Felisha offers Olivia a go with her boyfriend, Julian. Noting that trying sex would be cheaper than psychotherapy, Olivia agrees to give sex a chance. Olivia decides to film her weekend “experiment” with Julian, saying she hopes to advance the discourse on asexuality – but ignoring her roomie James’s warning this sounds like a terrible idea. With the help of CJ, a lesbian camerawoman, Olivia begins her weekend adventure with a loaner boyfriend. But she can’t predict the surprises that follow, including a visit from her drunk and disorderly mother; the bizarre appearances of a semi-stalking mathematician; and the confessions of her many filmed “subjects” who confide their truths about sex in Olivia’s fun and revealing experiment.… Expand

There's a lot of potential in the idea of exploring asexuality in the modern world, but The Olivia Experiment loses it in a sea of clichéd characters. Read full review

While its provocative themes certainly bear exploring in our sex-obsessed societal landscape, The Olivia Experiment is too superficial and cliche-ridden to make them resonate, and its attempts at humor fall thuddingly flat. Read full review
