52 h. ago Dying for Sex review – Michelle Williams’ erotic journey is revolutionary TV

This tale of a terminal cancer patient’s newfound horniness upends every expectation you have for on-screen sex – as well as the definition of a soulmate. It leaves you longing for moreSex is for men. This is a lesson we learn from a very early age. Maybe it is a nice lesson to learn if you are a man, though I imagine the pressure to be seen to know all about it from the off could feel a teensy bit much now and again. I’d probably take that over the internalised shame and alienation from your own body – and from one of the main drivers of pleasure that exists – so that we may all enjoy perpetuating the species, though, I think.(Why yes, this is all about me! And yes I did grow up Catholic, which can’t have helped. You’re such a sweetheart for noticing!) Continue reading...

8 d. ago ‘I’ve never masturbated on film before’: Michelle Williams’ orgasm odyssey in Dying for Sex

She cried when she heard about a woman with terminal cancer who spent her last days on a sexual adventure – and knew she had to turn it into TV. As the devastating result hits the screen, the actor relives an extraordinary experience‘I’ve done any and all number of sexual situations in my 30-year career,” says Michelle Williams, all matter-of-fact and puckishly charming. “But I’ve never masturbated on film before and I was nervous. It’s much easier to portray mutual desire than just the desire for oneself. But God, when Liz [Meriwether] wrote those scenes – when Molly’s alone in the hotel and by the end she’s masturbating to anything, masturbating to a fish in a bowl! – I thought: ‘Oh Liz. You’ve really done it.’”In Williams’s new show, Dying for Sex, she spends one entire episode masturbating – a staggeringly unusual thing for a woman to do on screen. Dying for Sex has a very simple premise, so grab-you-by-the-throat tragic that you’d almost take against it. Except it’s based on a ...

9 d. ago Dying for Sex to The Bondsman: the seven best shows to stream this week

Michelle Williams stars in a beautiful and hilarious story about a woman with cancer embarking on a voyage of sexual discovery. Plus: Kevin Bacon plays a bounty hunter for the devil in his truly daft new showWho knows how they would react to receiving a life-threatening health diagnosis? The response of Molly Kochan was striking: when she was told her cancer was incurable, she left her husband for a voyage of sexual discovery. After all, the couple had stopped having sex anyway because of her chemotherapy (“You said my bald head made you think about my dad”). Based on a podcast about the final stages of Molly’s life, this comedy drama starring Michelle Williams is beautifully realised – a story about sex, love, friendship and grasping life’s intensity. It’s full of human warmth and complexity and, crucially, is very funny which is probably the only way such a story could be told. Disney+, from Friday 4 April Continue reading...

4 w. ago Mickey 17 review – two Robert Pattinsons for the price of one in Bong Joon

Pattinson plays a hapless space explorer replicated for further hazardous duties every time he dies in the South Korean director’s timely follow-up to ParasiteWe can only speculate about the reasons behind Warner Bros’ decision to delay the release of Mickey 17 for a full year (it was originally scheduled to hit cinemas in March 2024). A science-fiction satire with the tantalising prospect of Robert Pattinson in a dual role, South Korean director Bong Joon-ho’s follow-up to his 2020 best picture Oscar winner, Parasite, has been at the top of most film fans’ need-to-see list since it was announced. The date shift sparked alarm and speculation that the director’s consistently high standards might have slipped. In fact, while Mickey 17 isn’t in the same elevated league as Parasite, it’s a lot of fun. What’s more, the delay has made the picture, with its themes of genetic “purity” and an on-the-nose Donald Trump parody courtesy of Mark Ruffalo’s performance as politician turned space co...
