Realism of the movie

First of I haven`t seen the movie. It was recommended to me but after reading the premise I am reluctant to watch it. I don't like romantic or erotic movies, and if I wish to see les porno I would go to rt. Plus I like Bande dessinée (but I prefer Italian comics) but cover of this graphic novel looks more like French girl trying to write manga. Anyway some people here complained about the realism of the sex scenes. But what I get from the premise woman is painting for a living after art school, and girl is a teacher after college. Is French economy that different from the rest of Europe? Because this is unrealistic to me as a virgin girl who is not clumsy in her first sex encounter ha ha

Whether or not she needs first-hand experience to understand or have the sex depicted in the movie is up for debate, but the argument could be that Adele is mature for her age, which is also the reason she seeks out Emma (someone who is experienced).

I get that you are a virgin girl who is not clumsy in her first sex encounter. But why would this fact make the movie seem unrealistic to you? And how would you even know that you will not be clumsy in your first sex encounter, if you are still a virgin?

Petit88 I assume English is your second language from your post so I wouldn't accuse anyone else of not knowing how to read. Your post doesn't make all that much sense. How can you be a virgin and 'not clumsy' at the same time?
