CGiii Comment

Unsimulated sex and erections - in the mainstream!

And, really, what was the point?

A dirty, sleazy drama with good actors, bad lighting and dull direction.

Without the sex, it would be dull - with the sex, it's still dull.

An exercise in courting controversy - and, it didn't work - not by a long shot.

The(ir) Blurb...

Jay, a failed musician, walked out of his family and now earns a living as head bartender in a trendy London pub. Every Wednesday afternoon a woman comes to his house for graphic, almost wordless, sex. One day Jay follows her and finds out about the rest of her life (and that her name is Claire). This eventually disrupts their relationship.
