![]() I had a huge falling out with a well known film maker and festival director when this film was released. He wrote a scathing review of it while he admittedly had never actually seen it. His rationale was that it's got a shit title which is all he needed to know. Naturally I called him a fuckwit. We then had a heated argument and we haven't spoken since. It took me ages but I finally watched My Year Without Sex and as suspected, the name is perfectly suited. Its a comedy drama about a mother who suffers a brain haemorrhage and is forbidden to do certain strenuous tasks, including sex for a year. The movie chronicles this period month by month and shows us the ups and downs of such a journey. Its got lots of funny moments and many tender moments. Sacha Horler is steadily becoming one of my favourite actresses and she's wonderful in this. Other than the poster sucking the only problem I had with the movie was a strange scene with a suggested pedophile. I wasn't sure why it was there and don't know what it was trying to say. It made me a little uneasy. But other than that, a great little Aussie flick.
