Calum Marsh Slant Magazine 06/01/2012
0/4
Its scope is too limited for it to muster much of a response in us beyond basic titillation. And there are plenty of better places to go for that. Go to Full Review David DeWitt New York Times 05/31/2012
2/5
Most of the camera time goes to airy, awkward sex (no genitalia, though plenty of breasts and backsides), and while it's never titillating, it's also never involving. Go to Full Review Scott Tobias AV Club 05/31/2012
C-
A smutty display of wall-to-wall couplings (and triplings) with a patina of class as thin as a see-through negligee. Go to Full Review Philip Kemp Total Film 12/06/2012
1/5
You'll have more fun staying at home. Go to Full Review Chris Barsanti Film Journal International 05/31/2012
A highly schematic film about how the members of a family each revel in their own sexuality; there's a nice, healthy glow here apparently meant to substitute for story. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

06/01/2015 Such a provocative title for such an aimless and boring movie. See more 05/18/2014 I like the characters just not the movie itself See more 05/10/2014 There's a bit sex, quite a lot of talking, looking wistful, or miserable, or both, but not a lot actually happens. http://gtvlondon.blogspot.com.au/2014/01/movie-review-sexual-chronicles-of.html See more 04/13/2014 At the end, all I could think was "so what." Well acted, but characters weren't interesting. Lotsa sex in the NR version, not funny as some described. My thx to Pam for burning it for me. See more 03/26/2014 I understand that many French films differ from American ones, and I'm not usually a fan though I have enjoyed several. This one... just felt like an excuse to watch people having sex. Too much sex and not enough story. It just wasn't very interesting, and if you cut out all the sex scenes, you'd probably be left with a short film. See more 01/14/2014 For a title and a plot so rife with ideas (both good and bad) -- this is a surprisingly dull and un-cinematic experience. Skip this one. See more Read all reviews
