Please Adjust Your Sex

About This Movie

Please Adjust Your Sex is a raw, almost anarchic piece that really captures the rebellious spirit of the late '80s youth culture. The atmosphere is gritty, reflecting the DIY ethos of the time; you can feel the pulse of urgency in every frame. It's not polished by any means, but that just adds to its charm. The pacing is uneven at times, reflecting the chaotic lives of its subjects. It tackles themes of sexual freedom and drug use without the moralizing that was so rampant in mainstream media. There’s a certain sincerity in its performances, as if the cast is sharing their truths directly with the viewer, which makes it distinctive. It’s a snapshot of a time and attitude that feels raw and real.
