Elliot is smart and friendly, but also hopelessly naive.
And he has no idea what he's in for when one day Erica calls him into her office.
Yeah.
I would love to be on the same page.
Yes.
Erica's accusation is, of course, a come on.
Before long the two have crossed over into entirely inappropriate terrain.
With Erica initiating Elliot into a dominant submissive relationship.
Most of their encounters take place at Erica's home, and are played for easy laughs.
But when they're not having sex, Erica and Elliot have some pretty pointed conversations about why so many Gen Zers like Elliot are, well, not having sex.
Elliot blames COVID and overproductive parents, noting that he and his peers were raised to fear any kind of in person socialization, let alone intimacy.
Erica calls them all out as a generation of cowards.
Arguing that the whole point of sex and of life itself is to take risks and push past boundaries.
Araki more or less agrees with her.
You could think of I want your sex as his state of the physical union address.
At sixty six, he no longer represents the younger generation, but he's still clearly concerned for their well being.
That might have seemed condescending coming from another filmmaker.
But Araki's style of comedy is warm, genuinely inclusive, and thoroughly disarming.
From moment to moment, the movie is pure pleasure.
full of bright colors, delectable sight gags, and sharp pop culture savvy one liners,
