Here is a film which will evoke strong feelings from anyone watching. I'm sure many will be shocked or even angry when they view this film, but one thing is for sure that you will be emotionally moved in one way or another. Sadly, I can't say it makes this film therefore good. Intimacy is about Jay and his strange Wednesday relationship with Claire. He is having problem in evaluating or understanding the relationship, especially due to the fact that Claire does not request anything from him other then sex. The story takes place in London, and in some ways reminded me of the film Naked, which happens also in London and is about people without direction and poor life standards. But Intimacy is nowhere as good as Naked was. The film is trying to be confusing in an artistic way, desperately not giving away too much of the story line, keeping the film full of holes. And even though this sometimes works, I feel that here it just makes you spent too much time wondering what on earth is going on. Many will concentrate on the very explicit sex scenes in the film, which at times was on the verge of being pornographic. The strange thing though is that this was the best part of the film, and was defiantly required to give you an appreciation of the dilemma Jay finds himself in. All together I was glad that I saw this film, but sad in regards of how little it left behind. 6/10
