Just got a new review in today from Jason Pankoke at the always awesome Micro-Film Magazine. Here’s a snippet that really crystallizes what I was trying to pull off with this flick:
And yet, in a mildly twisted way, SEX MACHINE is really all about getting the girl – the second time around, of course – as well as recovering some sort of normalcy in one’s life after suffering traumatic mishaps. If you set aside the gleeful sci-fi hooey that crops up in the screenplay by Sharpe and John Oak Dalton (AMONG US), the film spends much of its running time developing quiet moments between the good-guy leads, loyal Owen included. It’s an interesting parallel, allowing the audience to learn about the characters as the characters are re-learning about each other, and while some dialogue moments sound too deliberate or paraphrased for the sake of progressing the tale, the overall effort at realistic interlude works better than one might expect.
