Scenes of a Sexual Nature

Middle class people walking around being terribly middle class. Like a particularly boring bowel movement fried in tempura batter and served with houmus and mini pita.

Les discussions, peu importe les acteurs présents à l'écran, sont futiles et n'ont pas le moindre but. On dirait une récréation où les acteurs profitent de la belle saison. Ewan McGregor que j'adore fait très cringe en gay extraverti, j'ai le sentiment que ce film restera juste le petit film inconnu avec Tom Hardy jeune. Des dieux vivants (McGregor, Hardy...), dans un film sans but.

Like "Love, Actually", but with about a millimeter more depth, and not nearly as long, thank god. Just like MacSwell noted, "only the Atkins-Whitrow story has any real substance or poignance."

Apart from the title - charming and warm Bittish film about different kinds of love. I really enjoyed watching it.

Like a series of half-overheard conversations. Nothing extraordinary or revelatory, but just normal little glimpses into some lives other than your own. It's a decent film, with some humour, and some sad bits. Kind of wistful. The parts with Eileen Atkins and Benjamin Whitrow were quite poignant, although a few of the other couples did seem annoyingly smug.

worth a watch

There’s no real common thread established to link the various scenes together, aside from the sunny Hampstead Heath setting, making a collection of already disjointed episodes feel all the more inconsequential. Only the Atkins-Whitrow story has any real substance or poignance.

I love Hampstead Heath. That's pretty much all I loved about this though. There's nothing groundreaking about love and sex here. Some people can handle it and some can't. Loved Ewan Macgregor's scene though.

It amazes me when a script like this gets through. But I'm also glad that it has. Simple. Quaint. Charming. -- I found Noel quite endearing.
