    You could describe this delirious erotic fantasy as a stag film reworking of Teorema as directed by Alain Resnais.

  • Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid

    All of this makes for a fascinating viewing experience, a treat for both the mind and the body.

  • Cole Smithey, ColeSmithey.com

    Daring softcore porn by Radley Metzger.

  • Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com
