Laura Hiros Rincón de cine Some ups and downs of tone and street situations led to exaggeration, but if you want a light time with sexual jokes a spicy jokes, this film will give you a bit of laughter without any big consequences. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 1, 2023 Full Review Marshall Shaffer Decider Wasserman clearly feels more comfortable in the personal rather than the political realm, but all the same, there’s something radical in Hanna’s realization she just wants to be mediocre as her grand point of satisfaction. Jun 5, 2023 Full Review Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media Healthy sexual pleasure is certainly important. Instead of encouraging the thoughtlessness that can accompany the pursuit of random sexual pleasure for its own sake, perhaps a real friend could tell Hanna to imbue her life with more thought-full-ness.

Lees706 Save an hour and a half of your life from total nonsense. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/24 Full Review Sial G Absolutely unwatchable movie. I just watched for 30 minutes and I got bored. Don't waste your time on this. I can't even understand the message of the movie Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/10/23 Full Review Sterling L If you are a fan of Scandinavian cinematic quirkiness then you will find enough to keep you watching. But it ultimately fails to deliver a punchline about the human condition or see any real change in the main character that makes you think. It's like they wrote 2/3 of the movie and then forgot to finish it. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/27/23 Full Review charming m Half of a good film..... Swedish - Tick Got masturbating in the title - tick Not everybody is a gorgeous blonde - tick Nice shots of Stockholm - tick Too many aerial shots and feeling like a travelogue - Yes Half of a good script - yes Clichéd characters, character arc and resolution - Yes AND tick! Liberated attitudes towards sex as you'd expect from the progressive Swedes centering on women AND extolling the virtues of onanism...... you'll have to see the film to find out..... Owing much to the Scandi-dogma style, some good performances particularly the charming Katia Winter in the main role, it felt that unlike some of the sex toys featured the ideas ran out in the end. Still, it would make a good date movie..... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/07/23 Full Review Alan M My girlfriend and I enjoyed this and we smiled , laughed out loud plenty 😀 Subtle messages are there on work / life balance , how men can just drift , get by in the work place whilst women somehow need to work harder and are judged differently . Apparently the secret for ladies is to be medicore as a male at work and as selfish in life . Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/01/23 Full Review Jay S Quitting your job for a relationship is the dumbest decision I've ever heard. This was a weird Swedish comedy that was kinda fun but not good at all.
