A patient, formally daring work — the cinematography lingers on empty rooms longer than most audiences will tolerate, but those who stay are rewarded with the most haunting final act of the year.
Takao, a sex doctor who solves all kinds of sexual problems. Calling it group therapy, he solves the problems of all kinds of patients with unusual sexual fetishes one after another with his absurd extreme treatment methods. A comical, lewd doctor romantic porn.

I walked in expecting another genre exercise and walked out feeling like I'd been eavesdropping on a confession. The lead performance is genuinely singular — a career-defining turn.

A few too many scenes feel borrowed from a better film, but the soundtrack and the production design carry the rest. Solid recommendation for fans of slow-burn European thrillers.
