Critic Reviews
-
Peter Debruge, Variety
The acting style is so blase as to make the material seem boring -- except perhaps for Wingard's emotionally twisted closing chapter.
-
V.A. Musetto, New York Post
Yes, there can be too much of a good thing, even sex.
-
A.O. Scott, New York Times
Its tone is quietly comical, with each chapter treated as an extended joke, or as an R-rated O. Henry story angling toward a neat concluding twist.
-
Mark Holcomb, Village Voice
There are are flashes of sexual insight amid the movie's lovely, deceptively complex compositions and smartly deployed songs, but overall Autoerotic is as vaporous and vaguely dissatisfying as a negotiated quickie before work.

the cinematic equivalent to farting during sex
