Now, this review thus far has been a fairly glowing and enthusiastic one, and hopefully this adequately expresses the enjoyment and pleasure I got out of this film. It is extremely entertaining and full of delicious black comedy. And, of course, at the heart of all this is an absolutely heartwarming (well, somewhat...) and optimistic tale about true love. This is not to say the film doesn't have its problems. Although in general the film is rather engrossing, there are a few moments at which the plot drags a little and I found myself hurrying the movie up. This is normally not too big a problem, as most movies tend to have a pacing problem or two here or there, but there are some interesting loose ends and mysteries that perhaps Shainberg could have spent more time exploring to fill up the dead space in the film. For example, what the fuck is up with Grey's ex-wife? But these things really didn't bug me too much. At least, not until I sat down to start writing the review and began to think critically, but generally I just found this to be a fantastic and entirely different movie.

A quick word of warning: sexual perversion, especially BDSM, is often a topic that most people (understandably) want to avoid, but I found that this film deals with the taboo in a rather tasteful and meaningful way. Tastefulness and meaningfulness aside, the idea is still just going to make some people uncomfortable, and I have no intention to try to persuade them otherwise. The film does deal with sexuality in a relatively frank and occasionally explicit way that may put off some viewers. But for those filmgoers with an open mind and a taste for the bizarre, this offbeat romantic comedy is a charming and endearing experience with some fine performances to boot.
