Critic Reviews

  • Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times

    The cast tries but rarely achieves an authenticity of emotional intimacy, as if everyone knows they're going to be cut away from -- how else to say it? -- prematurely.

  • Justin Chang, Variety

    Neither as extreme nor, for that matter, as interesting as its troublesome title.

  • Lou Lumenick, New York Post

    YPF caused a minor sensation at last year's Toronto Film Festival, but I guess the chance to see Canucks even partially disrobed is a selling point up there.

  • Stephen Garrett, Time Out New York

    The jarring skips required for clockwork peeks into each sexual narrative turn all the participants into reductive character sketches, spouting pithy one-liners and sporting ready-to-wear emotions on their sleeves.

  • Peter Howell, Toronto Star

    In truth, Canadian filmmaker Martin Gero's very funny and insightful feature debut is far less shocking than its detractors -- most of whom haven't even seen it -- would have you believe.

    <br/><br />Isn't as serious as it should have been.

    A clever ensemble piece about the circumstances under which people aged 20-32 find themselves... well... having sex. A movie about sex that depicts what's necessary without being tasteless, this is an examination of various preconceptions, misconceptions and warped perceptions… More

    7/10 A cleverly written Canadian comedy that is a lot more tame than the title suggests and you may expect. It's likeable cast is a major contributing factor to the films success. Y.P.F. is a frank and entertaining little gem that you should definately check out.

  • Lewis C


    Y.P.F. is...difficult to review. The tag line is, "Sex without complications?....yeah, right." This pretty much describes the movie as well as it can be described. Five different pairings at different stages of the relationship spectrum all go to bed, and we see what the… More

  • Luke B


    An honest and suprisngly sweet tale about sex. It's not just the sexual acts themselves but the talking that takes centre stage and opens up who these characters really are. From the hilarious couple, best friends and roomates segments to the more emotional first date and exes… More
