Not erotic at all

And a very complex and deeply disturbing portrait of a woman's slow self-destruction. It was better than I expected. It's not really about the sex, but what it does to her and how it controls and alienates her. My only complaint would be that LVT didn't need to use graphic sex so often. He could have used it in just a few poignant scenes to really highlight important moments. It was used so often that it actually became less affecting with each repetition.This seems to be the problem that a lot of male filmmakers have (Tarantino, I'm talking to you!). They fall a little too much in love with their brilliance and self-indulgence takes precedence over the needs of the story.
