The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed

Stultified by a dead-end job and mind-numbing family visits, 30-something New Yorker Ann engages in submission with a variety of sex partners plucked from dating sites. She also tries her luck with a young man who seems to have all the qualities of an “ideal” mate. Structured as a series of bold, startling vignettes, this BDSM comedy, where the director (literally) strips herself bare, stands out for its hilarious absurdity. Joanna Arnow, the queen of self-mockery, delivers a second feature that takes an ironic, unsparing look at life while gleefully trashing trendy representations of fetish porn. (FNC)
