Steve (Titus De Voogdt) thinks he's having a good night when he meets a beautiful woman named Sky (Delfine Bafort) at a nightclub, but he forced to reconsider that opinion moments later when he manages to get busted for selling ecstasy. While in jail, Steve becomes friendly with Jean-Claude (Johan Heldenbergh), a philosophical sort who is confined to a wheelchair. After he's released, Steve goes to work for Jean-Claude, helping out at his strip club, only to run into Sky again; it seems she makes her living as a stripper and turns tricks when finances demand it, and has a close friendship with Jean-Claude. Steve and Sky soon fall for one another, but Steve becomes curious about the true nature of her relationship with Jean-Claude. Steve + Sky was the first feature film from writer and director Felix Van Groeningen. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Dana Stevens, New York Times
With its deliberately washed-out color palette, affectless dialogue and nearly event-free story line, Steve + Sky is a mere slip of a movie, a wan character study of people who add up to little more than a series of studied quirks.
-
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
Felix Van Groeningen's low-budget romance is also sly -- if utterly superficial -- fun.
-
Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Hugely tedious and mostly incomprehensible, Quentin Tarantino-wannabe Dutch director Felix van Groeningen's Steve + Sky is the kind of foreign movie that gives subtitles a bad name.
-
Jan Stuart, Newsday
The sense of midnight-movie déja vu carries into the herky-jerk, non-linear screenplay and the fluorescent, life-is-a-sex-club-at-two-a.m. art design.
-
Drew Tillman, Village Voice
As aimless as its protagonists, Steve + Sky proves equally inept at irreverence and profundity.
