Reviews

"And Now Sex" has garnered mixed reactions since its release. On IMDb, it holds a rating of 3.4/10, indicating a generally unfavorable reception from audiences. Critics have pointed out the film's attempt to tackle serious themes such as loneliness and existential angst through a comedic lens, but many feel it falls short. According to a review on Rotten Tomatoes, 'While there are flashes of humor, the film often feels disjointed and lacks a coherent narrative that connects the characters meaningfully.' Some viewers appreciated the film's boldness in addressing sexual themes, as noted on Metacritic, but consensus indicates a struggle with tone and execution. One critic summarized it as 'an ambitious film that tries to do too much,' suggesting that its attempts at humor and drama often clash, leading to a confusing viewer experience. Nevertheless, the film's candid portrayal of relationships was highlighted as a positive aspect, albeit not enough to redeem its overall impact.
