This film is a artistic criticism of Romanian society. Chapter 1 is all porn and boredom. Mainly it's main character walking under the ads of film sponsors. Chapter 2 and 3 are pure art. Chapter 2 is a pure satire on all world societies. Chapter 3 is a ode to hypocrisy of all human kind. It's worth watching, but don't expect much. Just try to bare the 1. Chapter. Rest of the film is good.

It's not a comedy
Interesting, but a bit pretentious for its own good
This NSFW satire can be hilarious (and insightful) sometimes. But, aside from being a commentary about the collective hypocrisy or the decay of humanity, its unconventional style in the story-telling tends to hinder the film to be more than just a didactic and somewhat preachy (if not pretentious) rhetoric.
I Never Thought In All My Years .....
..... that in a main stream movie which will probably win many awards I would see a naked woman lie back, spread eagle and thrust a sex toy in and out of her vagina without any censorship. I was somewhat taken by surprise but this is satire combined with art to deliver a message which is very much of our time.
This movie certainly has shock value which only a few years ago would have been banned but the writer and director take this opportunity to deliver a successful artistic satirical movie unashamedly addressing the hypocritical nature of modern society.
No doubt the movie title is click bait in an attempt to attract the very people which the movie is trying to inform. The initial amateur sex-tape scenes are probably the most awkward and toughest to get through and are the least successful part of the movie but preserver and the intention of the movie plays out.
8/10.
