Kind of drawn in by the erotic scenes, only to realize this was one of the most amateurish and unbelievable bits of film I've ever seen. Sort of like a high school film project. What was Rosanna Arquette thinking?? And what was with all those stock characters in that bizarre supposed Midwest town? Pretty hard to get involved with this one. No lessons to be learned from it, no brilliant insights, just stilted and quite ridiculous (but lots of skin, if that intrigues you) videotaped nonsense....What was with the bisexual relationship, out of nowhere, after all the heterosexual encounters. And what was with that absurd dance, with everybody playing their stereotyped roles? Give this one a pass, it's like a million other miles of bad, wasted film, money that could have been spent on starving children or Aids in Africa.....

i'm sorry, but this film was the worst possible waste of time i've ever had the unfortunate experience of viewing. an hour and a half of my life i will never get back. my boyfriend and i watch many movies, and being in paris, it's easy to see just about anything you'd want on the big screen. well, this time, we decided to settle in for a film. what a mistake. i'm from the midwest, and the only good thing about the movie were the shots of the land. otherwise, this movie should never have been made. they must have used actual people from rankin to act in this movie...there's no possible way a professional could act that terribly. the whole premise is so backwards and backwoods for that matter. i don't know..maybe there's something wrong with me. but i know i can (and do) appreciate good filmmaking and this just didn't do it for me. don't bother with it.

This film really opened my eyes as to what, Jean-Marc's dreams are. I wish that JM would make his film's available in the US. Too Much Flesh, is a wonder film that is very hard to understand.It took me watching it a few times to get what JM's concept was, in this film. If you can get past all the sex, and masturbation. You will see a deeper meaning in this film. All the pain and, the longing for love. I found that JM is truly one of the most convincing actors I have ever seen. He has convinced me!

Despite my opinion that J.M. Barr and Elodie Bouchez are great actors, them two just having an awful lot of true erotic scenes doesn't give this rather thin developed and predictable story much more essence. Just like in *Intimacy* I don't agree with the necessity of all that.It must have been much fun to film it, but from the movie I get the impression that the story or the film itself was not the actor's or team's primal focus during the shoot. Or probably not even during the writing?
