I have not seen too many movies where there are only a handful of actors and the setting is mostly in one place. I have seen a few movies with the male actors but I never found them special or good actors, but they both fit their characters. One of them was naive and new to the "wild" things and the other one was a hipster free spirited painter. Plus there were some human emotions and desires that are true and very possible, but couples do not talk about it because it is different and taboo. My life is no where close to anything like that but I found it acceptable and not dirty. The movie is more about basic desires that any person would have but would not be comfortable to talk about. Very smart movie and you should watch it so you wont be surprised when you see such things in real life.
