Two men, both in heterosexual marriages, have an unexpected experience that challenges them to reconsider their understanding of sexuality, gender, and identity. One has a sexual encounter with another man, without considering it either as an expression of homosexuality or infidelity, and discusses it with his wife afterwards. The other finds himself in nocturnal dreams where he is seen as a woman, stirring confusion and leading him to question how much his personality is shaped by the gaze of others.

David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter This superbly acted drama’s refusal to serve up tidy epiphanies might leave you wanting more. But the inchoate nature of the central characters’ self-reflection is partly the point in a smart movie with a lot on its mind. Feb 21, 2024 Full Review Sarah Manvel In Their Own League Certainly the ideas we have about our lives, the choices we make about the people we want to share our lives with, and the ways we use our bodies to express these choices are all inextricable from each other. It’s very unusual to see. Nov 4, 2024 Full Review Paula Arantzazu Ruiz Cinemanía (Spain) The way Sex approaches the debate seems more like a draft than a definitive work. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 2/5 Oct 23, 2024 Full Review Serena Seghedoni Loud and Clear Reviews There is no sex in Dag Johan Haugerud’s movie [...] But it’s through these dialogue-heavy, seemingly uneventful scenes that the film manages to ask the right questions. Rated: 4/5 Oct 9, 2024 Full Review Alex Heeney Seventh Row What Haugerud does in Sex is thus hackneyed from a queer cinema perspective and yet groundbreaking for straight cinema. Rated: B Mar 22, 2024 Full Review Allan Hunter Screen International Sex offers a thought-provoking reflection on identity, sexuality and freedom sparked by a simple conversation between two male colleagues.
