All I gotta say is that the TITTLE caught my attention and I would think that putting it as the tittle of this thread will cause other curious minds to open up this thread.
Yeap: It's part of the TIFF and is playing:
Thursday September 06 @07:45PM
VARSITY 8
Saturday September 08 @
09:15AM
SCOTIABANK THEATRE 3



The great New Yorker
critic Pauline Kael once wrote that sex was the great leveller in life.
Nowhere is that more apparent than in Martin Geros clever, beautifully
crafted romantic comedy Young People ****ing, which casts a
cold eye on modern love in its various permutations. Focusing on five
different archetypal relationships, the film demonstrates, with often
painful accuracy, how all relationships are simultaneously specific and
somehow bizarrely similar.

The narrative shifts between four couples and one threesome. Abby
(Kristin Booth), the sexually frustrated blonde ingénue, and Andrew
(Josh Dean), her toothy, ultra-caring boyfriend, are stuck in a
domestic rut. Matt (Aaron Abrams, who co-wrote the script with Gero)
and Kristen (Carly Pope), two longtime friends, have decided to have
sex to get their previous disastrous relationships out of their
systems. Exes Mia (Sonja Bennett) and Eric (Josh Cooke) are on a
post-mortem date after their breakup. Ken (Callum Blue), a British
émigré and known player, and the innocent, much younger Jamie (Diora
Baird) are on a first date. Rounding out the idiosyncratic cast of
characters are Gord (Ennis Esmer), who seems permanently wired; his
reticent and dour roommate, Dave (Peter Oldring); and Gords as he
puts it impossibly hot girlfriend Inez, (Natalie Lisinska).


The narrative strands do not cross and the various couples (and the
trio) never interact, but they are linked by their fear or ignorance of
their own desires, their terror of expressing those feelings, and their
crippling insecurities. Revealing anything further about the plot would
probably be criminal (the relationships may be archetypal, but the
resolutions arent everyone here has secrets); however, it would be
remiss not to say a bit more about the unusual development of the final
scenario. Gord and Lisa are about to move in together, as Gord has
grown increasingly frustrated with Daves obscenely slovenly habits.
However, the bossy Gord who begins every comment to Dave with Look,
Im not trying to be a dick here suddenly proposes a ménage à trois,
which, for Gord, means sitting in an easy chair eating cookie dough
while encouraging Dave in his efforts with Lisa.

The performers
in this fantastic ensemble are universally excellent, and Esmers turn
as Gord is particularly memorable. Its only one of the many good
reasons to recommend this film, which is one of the sharpest, most
entertaining debuts by a Canadian director in quite a while.
