secondtake The Little Death (2014)A quirky, funny indy film about young people trying to stay in love through sex. It involves a series of different couples who each try to keep their love lives alive in different ways—and with most of them backfiring. While never quire hilarious, it is consistently witty and surprising. Yes, a dark comedy of sorts, but very bright and light, too.The lynchpin is worth seeing the movie alone. That is, a deaf man calls a sex line through an online interpreter, who can read his hand signals and repeat them to the sex call provider. The layering, the surprising wit and double entendres, the wonderful acting both restrained and comic, it's all nothing short of brilliant. Textbook brilliant. See it, at the end.There is eventually an interweaving of stories that might seem forced, but really this is about the individual story lines that rotate back and forth, in parallel. In all a beautifully rendered look at young lives in Australia, ordinary people shown to be more than just average. Like all of us.

louisesingleton Now where do I start? Probably by saying.....the funniest movie I've seen in quite a few years. I was quite sceptical about watching a movie about sex, thinking it would be along the same lines as the Confessions movies, smutty. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a prude but just don't enjoy those sort of movies. I couldn't have been more wrong though. This movie had me laughing so hard it made me cry :) I wish there were more movies like this out there. A great evening's entertainment for a Sunday.I would highly recommend this movie to anyone, except my parents lol

christian-385 It's Christmas and the holidays are upon us - nothing on the box so I searched top 30 comedies of 2015 and this little gem appeared on the first list. It's difficult to critique without spoiling it suffice it to say the mundanities of relationships that turn a little stale or present themselves with obstacles to overcome is a well travelled path BUT this film treats that scenario with a clever, entertaining, moving mix of highs, lows and obscenely funny situations. All punctuated with the most ridiculously dark and amusing interjections of a registered sex offender - you gasp once, twice three times before the horror of the implications of this confession are ignored whilst you've been seduced into laughing it off! Such a clever and twisted film - brilliantly Australian in it's humour and location. The crafting of scenes and narrative payoffs are deliciously executed. The soundtrack and use of music is powerful and enhances the experience and adds a pathos to the proceedings - in particular the fabulous use of music from Sleeping at Last and their Atlas : Light album. I've already recommended this to my friends during the credit roll - watch it - it's frighteningly real but totally entertaining and thought provoking.

Mohammad Mehdi Awn I really loved this movie. But I went into it expecting something else because of what I'd read in the IMDb summary.While there are moments that will make you feel like you'll die laughing, this is, actually, a very serious movie. It shows different sides to people through the one denominator that binds us all - our sexuality. And, while there are some scenes of sex - I feel like I have to mention it - they weren't made to arouse (so skip the movie if you wanted to get that out of it).This movie shows how far people will go in their selfish need to get their own satisfaction, but it also shows how far people will go to satisfy the ones they love. It shows the lengths they'll go to re- connect with the ones they love, and how easily they can lose contact with the world around them.All of this, of course, would not have been possible without the cast, which was chosen superbly and it shows why, IMHO, Aussie actors are taking over the world stage.
