Overall, an irreplaceable film. Engaging characters, a compelling plot, writing choices along the way that are not attached to just following established tropes. If you haven't watched it yet, don't read up too much and just watch it. Not actually knowing what kind of story is being told is a big part of the interesting way things play out.

My only criticisms are my own personal preferences. It is a bit too horny. And certain characters don't get as satisfying an ending as I would have liked. But this is not a rosy drama so not every plotline will be wrapped up with justice and comfort as the point. The story is more focused on being *raw* and really looking into the complex situations of the characters.

Well actually I do have one other criticism and it might be a big one, depending on how you want to look at it. But this film, at times, seems to be showing a dark side of sexual appetites and voyeurism... but doesn't the film do the exact same thing? Commodifying female sexuality for a horny ass audience... -_-
