Critics Consensus

One of indie stalwart Gregg Araki's most accessible works yet, this bawdy dramedy leverages well-judged performances by Olivia Wilde and Cooper Hoffman to deliver incisive commentary on carnality and connection.

Popping off with primary colours and phallic imagery, I Want Your Sex isn’t quite as explosive as Araki’s Teen Apocalypse Trilogy and could have used a tighter edit, but it’s still a real good time.

The film gets too caught up in concern trolling about the sexual timidity of today’s youth.

...just months after The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026). Araki's film echoes the plot not of that sequel but of its original back in 2006... but it's not really focused on the workplace, as it is the specific relationship the protagonist derives...

3.5/5

Araki's subversive edge may feel subdued, but I Want Your Sex is charmingly playful, owing much to a captivating Olivia Wilde as an artpop dominatrix with compulsion issues.

2.5/4

Olivia Wilde plays a trendy artist, known for the eroticism in her work, who draws a new employee (Cooper Hoffman of Licorice Pizza) into a Dom/Sub relationship. A bit too heavy-handed (ha-ha), though Wilde and Hoffman are excellent.
