Our take

This adults-only A24 romantic dramedy follows a submissive man and a dominant biker. Theatrical prints were unrated; home video carries an R 18+ for strong sexual content and graphic nudity. Explicit BDSM sex, full-frontal nudity and frank kink talk run throughout. Not appropriate for teens despite the rom-com label.

Uplifting themes

Communication, curiosity and tender connection within kink

Story (may spoil tone)

Colin, a timid man, meets Ray, a confident biker gang leader, who initiates him into a submissive relationship, challenging Colin’s mundane existence and prompting personal growth through their unconventional dynamic.
