How to Have Sex
As I have said before, I am a fan of the coming of age films, even the ones that are a lot deeper than comedy. If you told me this was A24, I would have fully believed it. Great color contrasts, with cool transitions and a ‘vibey’ feel. Where a lot of people will complain about this movie is that it is slow, and a lot of casual watchers will say the annoying line ‘it was pointless.’ because it is very theme based compared to telling you the exact story. How it was filmed did make it seem like there was going to be some sort of mystery to it, but leaves no mystery to its end. I was very engaged in wanting to see where it was going to end up. I also thought Mia McKenna-Bruce (main actress) was great in it, as I have not seen another film with her in it. She even won the Bafta ‘Rising Star’ award over Jacob Elordi and Eyo Edebiri, which is crazy to think neither of them would have won. A movie worth watching, but it does have deep themes that are definitely not light hearted and fun.
