This erotic art film can make a middle age housewife in a swinger club end up feeling like a Sunday school teacher once she meets the demented slut, Joe
This Ain’t Your Average Erotic Drama
This ain’t soft-focus romance here. This movie will grab you by the nipples (or balls) and it won’t let go. Joe’s journey is raw, messy and explicit. In fact the only things that keep it from being classified as porno is that the acting is good and the sex isn’t real. However, the film doesn’t play it safe. It takes you on a journey from spontaneous trysts on trains to emotionless affairs and full-blown sex addiction.
Once again, unlike porn, it explores the feeling of shame, and the void many sometimes try to fill with whatever or whoever is available.
Charlotte Gainsbourg: A Performance That Leaves You Speechless

Charlotte leaves acting behind and instead, transforms. As the character, “Joe” she’s is vulnerable, pitiful and difficult to watch. Obviously she’s an actress, so all of this is just her pretending but she does it with same passion and determination as people fighting for a giant TV on Black Friday. The woman has mastered her craft very well.
Why Nymphomaniac Makes You Rethink Everything
Watching Nymphomaniac can be like taking a selfie of your life in a funhouse mirror. It’s distorted, exaggerated and still very much you. Here you see yourself mirrored in Joe’s shame and recklessness. Most people never end up in a alley with bruises but emotionally, we’ve all been there. – Nymphomaniac is not just erotica, it’s an existential journey.
Is It Worth Watching?
This movie isn’t for someone who’s easily offended or can’t handle adult themes. So, anyone who wants something that’s politically correct, gentle or soft and flowery, should just watch the Paw Paw Patrol. On the other hand, it’s a must-see for anyone who enjoys brutal honesty and witnessing emotional damage. – Pour yourself a glass of wine

Another Erotic Movie – Emmanuelle
Nymphomaniac isn’t a movie, it’s an experience. Like all good art, it’s provocative. But, it’s also humbling for many because it underlines the fact that the majority of people are not as wild as they believed. Their stories are tame compared to Joe’s and their sex lives could be a whole lot worse.
