Sexual Drive is an unconventional triptych -- equal parts thriller, sex comedy, and gastronomy -- following the seemingly unconnected lives of three people around Japan and their appetites, both culinary and carnal. In the first story, designer Enatsu worries about his sexless marriage. Next, office worker Akane is recovering from driving-induced panic attacks. In the final third, elite advertising agent Ikeyama wants to end a relationship with his lover. Connecting all three is a shabby man who calls himself Kurita. He appears and presents each with a secret. Both suspicious and revolting, Kurita gradually reveals to each deep, mouth-watering truths regarding their sexual drive...

David Ehrlich indieWire Yoshida’s giddy fetishism makes for its own simple fun. For all of his movie’s empty calories, there’s still an aftertaste of truth to the idea that holds its predictably heteronormative trio of stories together. Rated: B- Apr 22, 2022 Full Review Natalia Winkelman New York Times Consistently intriguing and occasionally hilarious... Apr 21, 2022 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills This peculiar exercise in the humor of mortification may make you squirm, but it will almost certainly also make you laugh. May 2, 2022 Full Review Josh Bell Crooked Marquee It's not exactly sexy, but it's hard to turn away from. Rated: B Apr 27, 2022 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall With its bonkers sensibility, the film is bright and often wickedly funny, cleverly exploring the shifting power of attraction. And it's packed with profound observations that linger. Rated: 4/5 Apr 26, 2022 Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat The translation team does an incredible job conveying the sexual nature of each story in a way that is both poetic and titillating. Rated: 7.5/10 Apr 24, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
