Why our age differs

Official is R. We say 17+ because sex scenes and sexual talk run through every short. Language and smoking sit underneath, but the bedroom content is the main reason.

Our take

A Netflix anthology of four short films about lust, marriage, affairs and female desire. Several sex scenes, intimate talk and some comic crude swearing including the f-word run through it. Smoking, whiskey and a joint show up in the party and romance beats. Aimed at adults. Watch with a parent from 17, and only if your teen can handle frank bedroom material.

Uplifting themes

Honest talk about desire and what partners owe each other peeks through Women push for agency over their own pleasure and choices

Story (may spoil tone)

Through four bite-sized yet emotionally resonant films, the anthology once again explores lust, love, relationships, and repressed desire, offering fresh perspectives on intimacy, longing, and human connection in all their complexity.
