| User ReviewAlex WA real winner for me! The characters are what really drive this home - the fantastic juxtaposition between a perpetual and insistent optimist and careless, vulgar cynic is always initially compelling, but would not be the same without the spot on casting. Anna Lise Phillips' complete deadpan and crass retorts are the perfect match to the squeaky clean, endlessly polite psychologist played by Jill E. Alexander. Surrounding them are a cast of side characters that only enhance the dialogue with well placed interjections. Along with its great comedic value comes a complexity of emotion surprising to its genre. The movie introduces the not often seen brother-sister relationship in a refreshing form, creating even more endearment to the characters themselves. Not only that, but the movie takes a look into the complexities of the friendship between two women, and lesbian relationships; hilarious late night google searches on sexuality, handholding, and drunk movie nights. Unlike some movies, though, this unrequited love doesn't end on a heartbroken homosexual doomed to eternal misery. It ends with an important and warming portrayal; two women remaining intimate friends because they love each other as people. Witty, crude, emotional, funny and real, Sensitivity Training is something you need to watch, regardless of your sexual orientation. |

| User ReviewDavid BThis movie was better than expected. It has a lesbian theme, but not solely based on that subject matter. It portrays smart, educated women in the science field, but is not boring or dry for one second. The sarcasm and humor are great coupled with the relatable complaining that people face each day. If you want to LOL, this movie is for you. |
