Speaking of Sex

About This Movie

Speaking of Sex, directed by John McNaughton, is a unique blend of comedy and romance that dives into the complexities of marital strife with a decidedly offbeat charm. The film revolves around a couple seeking help from a trio of professionals—a counselor, a depression expert, and two lawyers—each with their own quirks and misadventures. The pacing is a bit uneven but that oddly mirrors the chaotic nature of the characters' relationships. The dialogue has this wry, almost sardonic humor that keeps things engaging. Performances are solid, particularly the interactions among the leads, which feel both authentic and humorous. It’s not your typical rom-com; it explores weighty themes of intimacy and communication, draped in a light-hearted tone that keeps it from getting too heavy.
