This is a super film in many respects. Beautifully filmed. Interesting issues. And sensitive approach.
But some of the sex scenes were exploitative of the actors, particularly the first and last sex scene (the rest were fine and gave a real sense of what was going on).
I thought that it was a terrible irony that the director was making a point about sexual exploitation, when he was in effect sexually exploiting these actors, very tawdry and morally questionable.
Otherwise, I would have given the film an 8 or 9. And was tempted to give it a 1 because of this.
