Two chimney sweeps living in monogamous, heterosexual marriages both end up in situations that challenge their views on sexuality and gender roles. One has a sexual encounter with another man, without himself experiencing it either as an expression of homosexual longings or infidelity. The other suddenly experiences nocturnal dreams in which he is seen as a woman. This confuses and disturbs him. He begins to wonder to what extent the gaze of others shapes his personality and whether there are aspects of himself that he has suppressed, thereby limiting himself.

It feels repetitive, laboured and lacking in the sparky wit and insights that made Dreams and Love such delights.

4/5

Dag Johan Haugerud’s Sex is the talkiest and least erotic instalment of the novelist turned film-maker’s Norwegian trilogy...Haugerud leans into sustained theatrical dialogue, stylised and stagey, yet loaded with emotional ambivalence.

It is marginally my least favourite of the three, being slightly more didactic and less humorous than its companions -- but still very lively and full of ideas.

4/5

Sex is a sensitive and human narrative experiment, whose internal logic is in harmony with its aesthetic choices, a combination that enhances its dramatic structure, but through dialogue. [Full review in Spanish]

3.5/5

What initially seem like minor anecdotes escalate, generating doubts, contradictions, guilt, and resentment in them and their loved ones. [Full review in Spanish]

4/5

It's that essential kindness, a soft though realistic heart also reflected in cinematographer Cecilie Semec’s blissful summer light, which adds a visionary element to this quietly beautiful trilogy.
