Critics Consensus

One of indie stalwart Gregg Araki's most accessible works yet, this bawdy dramedy leverages well-judged performances by Olivia Wilde and Cooper Hoffman to deliver incisive commentary on carnality and connection.

3.5/5

Araki has returned triumphantly to the "come on now, lighten up" theme in the kinky 90-minute comedy I Want Your Sex, which finds humor in the gap between his generation and young adults whose libidos have fallen into slumber.

4/4

Araki juggles this mayhem into a brisk narrative filled with amusing quips and commentary about cancel culture, the minefield of sexual consent, the meaning of masculinity and the pretentiousness of the art world.

45m

In the end, I Want Your Sex is probably too shallow to really say anything insightful about harassment in the workplace or cancel culture. ... Still, the sum total, while slight, is fast and fun.

I Want Your Sex is a stylish, funny, provocative, and occasionally more thoughtful movie than its title suggests.
