- 75Film ThreatAlan NgFilm ThreatAlan NgThere’s enough good and exciting to recommend Sexual Drive, but oh, the sweet-savory possibilities that were missed.
- 70The New York TimesNatalia WinkelmanThe New York TimesNatalia WinkelmanConsistently intriguing and occasionally hilarious, the movie does not depict sex itself. Instead, the characters eat food items that become objects of titillation, lust and pleasure: the sticky goo around soybeans, chili oil sizzling in a wok.
- 67IndieWireDavid EhrlichIndieWireDavid EhrlichAnyone expecting a three-course meal as rich and nuanced as Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s “Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy” (or even a single dish as sumptuous as Juzo Itami’s “Tampopo”) might find themselves disappointed by a quick and dirty film that only aspires to offer the satisfaction of a light dessert, but Yoshida’s giddy fetishism makes for its own simple fun.
- 63Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreThis three-part picture is more interesting than titillating, a film best appreciated as a semi-sordid slice of interior lives in a culture that worships good manners and may or may not have invented pornography, but certainly perfected it in either case.
