For 27-year-old Ben (Josh Lawson), life couldn’t be better. A well paid job, friends, parties, girls and nothing to tie him down. But when he is invited back to his old school to join several other ex-students including Alex (Rachael Taylor) and Jim (Ed Kavalee) in talking about their personal achievements, something goes wrong. Ben is the only speaker not to be asked a question by the school kids. This triggers a year of soulsearching and looking for answers in all the wrong places.
From his best friend Andy (Christian Clark) whose solution is that they both take another holiday, to his mentor Sam (Lachy Hulme) who loans him a sports car in the belief that there’s nothing like excessive speed to resolve emotional turmoil. Not even Ben’s father (Rob Carlton) or friends Nick (Daniel Henshall) and Em (Felicity Ward) can offer much in the way of meaningful guidance.
Of course, it’s not easy seeking enlightenment in nightclubs, or on the ski fields of New Zealand, and when you start dating a Russian tennis star things can get really complicated. As the poster boy for a generation desperate to tick every box, Ben begins to suspect that the meaning of life may well reside in the things he's already doing - and a girl he used to know.
没想到这部具有十足深度的性话题电影居然是保守的英国佬拍出来的，想起了那句“与自己和解”。的确，当艾玛婶在镜前与镜中的自己坦诚相对，抚摸着自己臃肿褶皱的肚皮却淡然一笑时，我似乎明白了这部片子最想表达的东西。By the way，艾玛婶演技着实一绝，晚年能如此为艺术献身不得不让人佩服，反观内娱某些女演员露个背or替身就要炒作半天声称“为艺术献身”，拜托了请要点脸。
艾玛！！有生之年看到艾玛的解放😍为阿姨和罗宾森的自我释放拍烂手掌！对自己诚实，接纳本来的自己，包括以前不能直视的欲望。
最松弛的一刻，才能抵达高潮。于是对老年生活充满了信心
不要期待这部电影讨论什么严肃的社会议题，去掉“性喜剧”的噱头它便是一个温情小品：重形式而弱文本，将复杂的生活真实简化成万事总可和解、一切皆有出路。我通常称之为现实主义奇幻片。现实中遇到此般脸帅身材好有文化又温柔还敬业的金鸭，比遇到会飞的独角兽可能性还要低吧。
this is so wholesome
饮性欲之鸩，解孤独之渴。剧本写的有波兰斯基电影那调调，女主角色设计上无懈可击，对比之下其实男主角色的背景设计的略显符号化，正如片中所说像个性圣人。一个有意思的点：性满足是会让人觉得可以所向披靡。享受愉悦是很美妙的事情，性愉悦是上帝赐予每个普通人珍贵的礼物。但既然是欲望，私以为就和其他欲望没有太大区别，欲望是个深渊啊……
为男主的颜值点赞。完全长在了我的审美点上。
Emma在这部戏里面贡献了她的“灵与肉”，值得重看的一部电影，二刷要学习一下里面的高级词汇。#20220627
或许因为思想的束缚和性格，没有大胆地活出自己，没有什么值得羞愧的，直面真实的自己，在性学大师的开导下，明白人有欲望，也有情感表达的需求。
i want that service too
她明明是金主，明明用支付和购买行为逆转了性别与年龄的强弱、从理论上物化了面前年轻的男性，但她却如此卑微、如此怯懦、如此犹豫、如此自责、如此抗拒、如此忙于为一切寻找理由。
肯定是到了岁数，更知晓交心的珍重，陪伴的弥恒
Emma演的太好了，四次见面时的人物状态，最后和自己和解。鸭太帅了，帅到腿软！！
凄美的童话故事。社交软件上聊天已经举步维艰了，哪还敢奢望光着身子聊天？你用尽了所有骗术，终于使我相信，床上的你是诚实的。
剧本很精彩，越是简单场景越难拍，整个过循序渐进很流畅，两个人之间的互动也很好看。
不过不失的话剧电影，表面开放其实内核保守得像美国人写的剧本，相比之下几年前Sally field那部Doris倒显得大胆了。
不会再为了肉欲而失控，只会为了灵犀而泪涌
You have the mysterious gift of being a sex saint. 夸人就要这么夸。
可能是到了年龄，不知不觉地迷离了交姌，消散了荷尔蒙
看前二十分钟: 不会就是单一场景吧... 最后十分钟: ok!! 最make sense和empowering的全裸镜头 以及男主也实在是太帅了
