Concussion (2013)
6/10
Depressing, sexless but I suppose though provoking
18 December 2021
This movie was a sad watch. Not because of the subject matter of extramarital sex or escorts, but rather the lack of passion and asexual nature of the encounters.

The good things about the movie are they keep the parties blamesless, and expose a society struggling with love and sexuality in a suburban setting. As good as these women are try to look for themselves, they end up stripping down their sexuality but with that comes a lack of passion and ability to enjoy exploration of the body. There is little frame of reference between men and women here and any kissing comes from a point of desperation or loneliness than from any place of sexual exploration.

The film is thought provoking. I think it highlight where we are in society when it comes to romance and sexuality. There are lots of blurred lines and it's creating confusion. No one actually does anything, feels anything or grows emotionally in the film, as it does well to lay o the table, and I the end everyone is lonely and empty - even if they have a committed and passionate husband.

To be honest we all need to have a bit of fun, but that won't happen until we get a lot over ourselves. Ego needs a door to exit from.
