How to Have Sex
Special Limited Engagement – ONE WEEK ONLY!
Winner of the Un Certain Regard prize at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, HOW TO HAVE SEX is a vibrant and authentic depiction of the agonies, ecstasies and ride-or-die glory of young female friendship, from rising British filmmaker Molly Manning Walker. Three British teenage girls go on a rites-of-passage holiday, drinking, clubbing and hooking up in what should be the best summer of their lives. As they dance their way across the sun-drenched streets of Malia, they find themselves navigating the complexities of sex, consent and self-discovery. Captured with luminous visuals and a pitch-perfect soundtrack, Manning Walker’s directorial debut paints a painfully familiar portrait of young adulthood, and how first sexual experiences should – or shouldn’t – play out.

“’How to Have Sex’ winds up delivering on the promise of its title, as this is a truly instructive film about sexual politics, though a remarkable one for largely leaving emotions unresolved and relationships feeling messy."
– Clayton Dillard, SLANT MAGAZINE -
“A genuinely poignant, tender and provocative coming of age story. Mia McKenna-Bruce gives a raw and radiant breakthrough performance.”
– Avi Offer, NYC MOVIE GURU -
“Finding nuance and emotional depth in the unlikeliest of places — a spring break beach trip — this British drama evolves into a quietly powerful exploration of teenage sexual politics and consent.”
– Todd Jorgensen, CINEMALOGUE -
“Molly Manning Walker’s first film is an exciting, powerful, and incredibly assured drama. The performances are across the board excellent, and McKenna-Bruce holds the screen with her mix of vulnerability and brash good time girl bravado.”
– John Bleasdale, CINEVUE -
“Walker often lets the camera linger on McKenna-Bruce’s face and eyes that convey all the things she can’t find the words for. It is a shattering performance and made all the more devastating because it’s so subtle.”
– Lindsey Bahr, ASSOCIATED PRESS -
“This is fresh, passionate, and remarkably assured filmmaking, made with ample energy and even more exhilarating clarity of vision.”
– Isaac Feldberg, ROGEREBERT.COM
