positive · AI labelView post →HOW TO HAVE SEX writer-director Molly Manning Walker on how AMERICAN HONEY inspired the visual language of her film. Read more: oldfilmsflicker.substack.com/p/interview-...
neutral · AI labelView post →75) How To Have Sex. A film that is almost too good to watch. A painfully accurate depiction of mid-teen friendships, sex and consent. Very relieved I didn’t see it when I was expecting a coming-of-age comedy.
positive · AI labelView post →I saw a movie trailer in the theaters today for a movie called How To Have Sex and the movie was in British English and it had subtitles. Do British movie theaters show American movies with subtitles?
neutral · AI labelView post →Saw Molly Manning Walker’s film HOW TO HAVE SEX yesterday - really excellent on the minefields of peer pressure and consent. Can’t help but think all teenagers should see this, possibly in schools to prompt discussions…
positive · AI labelView post →Fav female filmmaker working today: Julia Ducournau or Coralie Fargeat Female filmmaker more people should know: Sarah Jacobson, Cecelia Condit Fav woman directed 2024 movie: The Substance but also The First Omen and How To Have Sex

"[he] then turned his attention to McKenna-Bruce, who had just won the Rising Star Award for her turn as a sexual assault victim in “How To Have Sex,” to congratulate her. “I haven’t yet watched your film,” he told her. “I think it looked like you had a lot of fun.”

positive · AI labelView post →And the same organisations are often paying for the edgy stuff with the returns from the more populist stuff. E.g. the BBC does The Salt Path but also does Femme. Film 4 does Wicked Little Letters but also does How to Have Sex.

neutral · AI labelView post →First film of 2024 that I liked #filmsky was ‘How to Have Sex’, watched on 1st Jan. [Favourite of whole year (so far) was The Substance]
positive · AI labelView post →Watched How to Have Sex (2023) directed by Molly Manning Walker, about three British girls on holiday at one of those depressing resorts young British people like to go to. It ultimately becomes a film about sexual assault. The point of comparison is Spring Breakers but How to Have Sex is better.

neutral · AI labelView post →HOW TO HAVE SEX opens in DC theaters this Friday. I hope you go see it: there's a lot more going on than the title/premise would have you believe, and it ends with such a good needle drop I wonder whether writer/director Molly Manning Walker built the movie around it.
positive · AI labelView post →I'll have more later this week, but How to Have Sex (the film) is quite an achievement, a critique of youth culture that never loses sight of its inherent joy. It also ends with a needle drop so perfect, a natural fit for the material, that I wonder whether the director built her movie around it.

neutral · AI labelView post →You know, for a British film with the semi-instructional title ‘How to Have Sex (2023)’, said film is MUCH more heartwarming and poignant than it has any right to be (still not for everyone though…).

positive · AI labelView post →A few very interesting movie experiences these last few weeks! HOW TO HAVE SEX: Rattling, blazing, one of the most confident directorial debuts I’ve ever seen. A story about social terror and consent that goes to some very upsetting places without sensationalizing or losing room for kindness.
positive · AI labelView post →I saw How to Have Sex yesterday, it was, I think, stellar. It hit me right across my chest; it took the wind from me. The kind of movie where you want to cry, but you can't because the feelings it touches are actually too big for tears.

neutral · AI labelView post →How to Have Sex opens in DC theaters today. It might be the first great film of the year, an observant critique of youth culture that never forgets how joy, regret, exuberance, and trauma must coexist within us all.

neutral · AI labelView post →I just watched her movie "How To Have Sex". If Mia McKenna-Bruce isn't a household name/big star within 5 years we have failed. Unless of course she wants to stay as a niche character actor and not get hugely famous. She's got IT.
positive · AI labelView post →how to have sex (2023) - manning walker i really am starting to dislike this type of movie ---- "rite of passage" or "coming of age" drama about girls/women because like 99% of the time its about sex and the fact that dudes are oblivious as are your friends. had this very odd urge to watch fish tank (2009) because yes theres sex in it but its not the main point. #howtohavesex #mollymanningwalker #cinemastodon

positive · AI labelView post →[How to Have Sex (2023)] I expected this film to be way lighter than it was. But it portrays party culture, consent and peer pressure in a very raw way.
positive · AI labelView post →Tonight we finished watching the BAFTA nominated 2023 films! (2024 awards). The final film for us was "How to Have Sex". I'm not sure we learned much instruction, but I think it made us thankful that we are not young, straight British girls on the pull in a Greek resort! 7.5 of 10 from me.
