Some people sit around and talk about sex. A film of its time - this sort of raunchiness could not be seen on television.
It's surprising Joy Smithers organised a truth telling session when she's had an abortion and isn't sleeping with her partner (Rhett Walton). Did she not thing that was going to come out?
There's some twists - Walton is sleeping with uptight friend Tessa Humphries. Tony Waltton is bi and on with Miranda Otto and Mark Lee. This part of the story is still fresh because we don't see many bi guys on screen even now.
It might've used being a movie more - ducking off to corner rooms works well.
Structurally the movie has flaws - characters will make revelations and then act as if the revelations haven't been made. Also the "my parents are bad" as get out of gaol is oversued, and Miranda Otto's character (while performed with plenty of energy) is a little Williamson/Bob Ellis (young, dim, horny, has great memories of rooting her music teacher at school).
Still there is a lot of energy, it's well acted, and it's impossible not to have admiratino for Fahey's spirit.
