For his first film in 12 years, indie auteur Gregg Araki takes aim at Gen-Z’s disinterest in all things carnal (in life and movies) with I Want Your Sex, a wild romp in which Olivia Wilde and Cooper Hoffman enter into a BDSM relationship.
The go-for-broke spark that enlivened the director’s finest work, however, is only intermittently evident in his comeback feature, which—debuting at the Sundance Film Festival—is consistently funny and erotic, if ultimately a bit too straightlaced for the incendiary subject matter at hand.
One of Wilde’s two entries at this year’s fest (the other being The Invite,her behind-the-camera follow-up to Don’t Worry Darling), I Want Your Sex is a comedy about sex, performance, power, love, and the often out-there ties that (literally and figuratively) bind.
