To be honest, I went into this film with a bit of trepidation, expecting something similar to the frankly dreadful 'Shortbus', but what Young People Fucking gave me was a frank, funny and often cringe-making look at a group of different couple types navigating through the difficulties of their sexual relationships. We had the First Date couple, the Exes, the Couple, the Best Friends etc. The film was split into sections including Foreplay, Sex, Interlude, Orgasm etc and whilst some parts were certainly more interesting and entertaining that others (the Roommates section for example), I came away from this film pleasantly surprised.
YPF is certainly no Oscar winning masterpiece, it's very talky in parts, but the character development is good, the characters are likable and you really find yourself routing for particular groups to make the best of their situation.
Definitely worth a look on a cold winters evening when there's little else on, you may come away amazed that you enjoyed this film quite as much as you will!
