Four separate stories of the auto-sexual proclivities of Chicagoans is presented. In the first story, a man, who is in a seemingly supportive relationship, is nonetheless self-conscious about what he considers the small size of his penis, regardless of his girlfriend telling him otherwise. His penis enlargement efforts lead to a change in attitude on many fronts. In the second story, a woman, who is in a supportive sexual relationship, has of late been turned on by everything, which leads to her feeling the need to masturbate whenever and wherever she can. After discussing the issue with a friend, she decides to take that sexual arousal to the next level by experimenting with auto-asphyxiation. In the third story, a pregnant woman, while still sexually aroused, can no longer come to orgasm through vaginal penetration. A female friend believes she can help her reach orgasm again, which the pregnant woman's husband allows. Although this experiment is solely to be between the two women, the husband can't help but want to be a part of the experience, even if the two women don't know. And in the final story, a man's primary sexual release is watching videos of him and an old girlfriend having sex. She, who is about to get married to someone else, reenters his life as she wants him to delete those videos. Wanting/needing a replacement for those videos, he asks her for one last "non-sexual"/non-video favor before she exits his life for good.
Leave your thoughts about Autoerotic.
| Shockya.comBrent SimonNot dynamically acted, but nonetheless an engaging, streamlined, dryly comedic thematic exercise, further held together and unified by a lurking, almost voyeuristic visual scheme. |
| New York TimesA.O. ScottIts tone is quietly comical, with each chapter treated as an extended joke, or as an R-rated O. Henry story angling toward a neat concluding twist. |
| Filmcritic.comBlake Frenchthe cinematic equivalent to farting during sex |
| Boxoffice MagazineMark KeizerThe movie is a bit of a departure for the mumblecore pioneer, one that does not play to his strengths. |
| Slant MagazineDiego SemereneAutoerotic's take on the me-me-me generation's inability for actual contact seems appropriate, but it lacks the nuance that makes "Denise Calls Up" so delicious to watch. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoTrouble is, the movie is only sporadically funny, and the concept soon grows tiresome. In fact, you could say that there's too much downtime in Autoerotic. |
| Village VoiceMark HolcombJoe Swanberg and Adam Wingard's latest exploration of amorous urban collisions, is only sporadically a good sex comedy, in part because the flat affect favored by its young Chicago cast of hipsters looks an awful lot like, well, seriousness. |
| Moveable FestStephen SaitoOn a subject that's been too often reduced to grossout humor to deal with awkwardness, the film is a rare comedy of manners. But a dirty one. |
| User ReviewJordon JIts tone is quietly comical, with each chapter treated as an extended joke, or as an R-rated O. Henry story angling toward a neat concluding twist. I say RENT IT!!! |
