The decision to cast an interracial couple is bound to be an attention-getter.and I wish the movie would just delve into this factor of the character's differing identities instead of making them seem mostly culturally identical. This, combined with the plot's focus on the fleeting nature of 'falling in love' juxtaposed against the tasks of commitment and struggle inherent to serious long-term relationships make Sex Weather feel relevant in some way. The nudity (particularly male, but also in general) is surprisingly explicit, but is also comical and casual enough that it never feels gratuitous. The actors seem to be working at the extremes of their skill and each almost(!) deliver. Aspirational film-making is not something to be ashamed of nor is being able to eek out a quality product from sparsely more than a shoe-string budget: this movie reeks of both. ![]() There is something special here that never quite gets realized.
