Sex, Drugs & Bicycles takes a funny and provocative look at Holland and answers the question: is having month-long double paid vacations, no fear of homelessness & universal healthcare the nightmare we've been warned about? The Netherlands may be best known for its windmills, tulips, and marijuana "coffeeshops," but it's also at the forefront of LGBTQI equality, free speech laws, and animal rights. Additionally, the Dutch economy is one of the best in the world, and they're in the top 5 of almost every quality-of-life index. Everyone also has excellent health insurance that even covers transgender medical procedures and sex care for the disabled.

Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times 03/01/2021
Blank's generally breezy film, packed with playful Monty Pythonesque animations by Fiely Matias, effectively sums up the contented mood. Go to Full Review Joel Fisher Battle Royale With Cheese 03/07/2021
Blank certainly has his own style though and it does certainly keep the pace going and makes it feel jollier than a serious insight into The Netherlands. Go to Full Review Zachary David Rogers Film Inquiry 03/07/2021
Sex, Drugs & Bicycles is an important documentary for the moment because during this time of crisis, we, as Americans, need to consider how our system is failing and how we can make it better for everyone. Go to Full Review Tom Meek Cambridge Day 03/05/2021
2.5/4
Blank is a skilled filmmaker and knows how to ply and pique, but he should make it more about who's in front of the lens than who is behind it. Go to Full Review Nathaniel Muir AIPT 02/23/2021
