Well, turns out that even sex is something that hipsters can turn into a very, very boring thing.
Alex Kapranos, Bob Hardy, Bobby Gillespie

December 31, 2008This is a love-it-or-hate-it film, as reflected by the deep divisions in critical response. It is a serious piece of film-making but there are two major components that you may love or hate - extreme sexual explicitness and modern rock music.

A pointless and pretentious cocktail of sex, rock 'n' roll and glaciology. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
As an idea, the film is fascinating, but as an experience it grows tedious; the concerts lack closeups, the sex lacks context, and Antarctica could use a few penguins. full review

David Edelstein, Slate

You leave the theater feeling as if you're a part of their sweaty, dizzying affair. full review

When the sex is as boring as the story and the characters which inhabit it... all we can do is rejoice the entire endeavor is over fairly quickly. full review
