Initially, my instinct was to react harshly and condemn the idea that a 36 year old and a 16 year old coming together in this way was an obvious felonious act of a shameful nature to be glorifying. How could this be anything but a cautionary tale of watching your children and vetting everyone they come into contact with, I wondered.
But, once I was able to think about it on a very realistic level, I considered the possibility of this occurring in real life. Vince wasn't trolling for teenage love and Sarah wasn't trying to score from a middle aged man; this evolved organically. It also brings to mind the notion to have real, honest dialogue with your children about sex, relationships, and situations that can induce physical moments like what took place in 'Only Humans'.
Artistically, philosophically, and thought-provokingly good film.
