How to Have Sex

How To Have Sex is a thoughtful and insightful look into teenage behaviour. It's languid and simmering, fun and nuanced. The film follows three teenage girls off for a summer holiday to Crete. Tara, Em and Skye are best friends and are looking forward to a few days of sun, drinking and perhaps sex. Tara is the only virgin in the small group. Over a couple of days the film follows the three girls and their time on the island. They meet a nice lad in Badger who Tara develops feelings for. Badger has a friend named Paddy who later is involved in an unsavoury incident with Tara. This film could have been just a teenage romp, but it's a little more nuanced than that. We see that all three girls are uncertain about their futures and also how boys can prey on them when they are vulnerable. Performances are great, especially Mia McKenna-Bruce as Tara. A smart and worthy teenage film.

A fantastic film about consent and fake friendships.

I don't know why some people consider it such a good movie. Quite boring, but it mostly benefits from marketing and picture. Very boring and irritating in some moments.. especially when the girls they scream. The only thing that's worth it is the meaning.

dont be put off by the title, a touching movie that grows on you

La peor pelicula que he visto en toda mi vida. Planos sin sentido, trama sin sentido, personajes vacios y actores que no dan la talla.

Es una película aburrida y muy lenta. No me gustó

Al principio pensé que sería una película con más drama o que realmente mostraría un lado oscuro, pero mientras más avanzaba más aburrida se convertía, hay momentos rescatables pero en general peca de aburrida dependiendo de un título que genera morbo al espectador para que la vea

That's how British people have fun on holidays. Kinda sad.

A masterful look into the binge party world of adolescence and regrets that are all too familiar to many. Uncomfortable and unforgettable. Beautifully crafted film.

Winner of 2023 Un Certain Regard Award at Cannes, Molly Manning Walker's directorial debut is a searingly honest and frighteningly realistic essay about girls' sexual pressure and consent when a trio of teenage schoolgirls goes on the "best holiday ever" in Malia to club, drink and hook up in their post-GCSE celebration of newfound freedom.
