About This Movie

So, $ex from 2013 presents this chilling yet thought-provoking vision of a future where intimacy is commodified. The atmosphere is thick with tension, exploring the depths of human connection—or lack thereof—in a world driven by transactional relationships. Anika Tate, the lead, really embodies this moral ambiguity, showcasing her talents through a nuanced performance that keeps you engaged, even in the slower scenes. The pacing can feel uneven at times, which honestly adds to the unsettling vibe of the film. There are some practical effects that stand out, but it’s really the thematic exploration of autonomy and desire that lingers long after viewing.

$ex has had a limited release, making it somewhat elusive for collectors. There's a scarcity of physical formats, with only a few boutique label releases available, each offering unique cover art and bonus features. Interest in this film has grown, particularly among those fascinated by dystopian narratives and commentary on societal norms, making it a curious piece for any serious collector.
