Critics Consensus

One of indie stalwart Gregg Araki's most accessible works yet, this bawdy dramedy leverages well-judged performances by Olivia Wilde and Cooper Hoffman to deliver incisive commentary on carnality and connection.

Popping off with primary colours and phallic imagery, I Want Your Sex isn’t quite as explosive as Araki’s Teen Apocalypse Trilogy and could have used a tighter edit, but it’s still a real good time.

2/4

The film gets too caught up in concern trolling about the sexual timidity of today’s youth.

Bolstered by fiercely committed, knockout performances from Olivia Wilde and Cooper Hoffman, the film is an uninhibited, audacious examination of sexuality and desire that leaves you wanting more.

3.5/5

Araki's subversive edge may feel subdued, but I Want Your Sex is charmingly playful, owing much to a captivating Olivia Wilde as an artpop dominatrix with compulsion issues.
