Gross and funny, the film wisely understands how to adapt Charlotte Roche's far more controversial and shocking source material in a way that's palatable to audiences. Carla Juri is a delight Go to Full Review

Fernando D @Maqroll Dec 18 Excellent movie. Sometimes extremely descriptive classic German Style See more Siriporn P @Malee 07/06/2022 Bold though made me feel a bit disgusted in some scenes. See more 03/26/2021 I hated this film. I did not laugh once. I was off and really grossed out and not in a fun or enjoyable way but in a turn your face away from the screen way. See more acsdoug D @acsdoug 01/29/2021 Relates the experiences of a narcissistic and wholly unsympathetic teenage girl. The film makers seem to think that if you throw in a few sex scenes and numerous discussions about bodily functions, both normal and abnormal, the shock value will make the story more interesting. It doesn't. See more LB199910 B 06/23/2020 Its hard to swallow content make it repulsive for some, but it's worth watching because of its dark humor, crude and mature themes, charming and sweet story, and Carla Juri's excentric lead performance. See more 04/30/2020 Lighthearted movie. Nice story. Great soundtrack. The movie may appear shallow for some, but it carries a lot of deep meanings in it. People today are increasingly losing touch with their sexuality and are getting grossed out from their own or their partner's bodily fluids. This movie shows that "dirty" is actually natural and thus very beautiful. See more Read all reviews
