SEX, LIES, AND VIDEOTAPE (1989)

Okay, we're recording, as the Unenthusiastic Critic shares her secret, most deeply personal thoughts on Steven Soderbergh's sex, lies, and videotape (1989). Thirty years ago, Soderbergh's low-budget debut feature scored big at Sundance and Cannes, became a critical and commercial hit, and helped usher in a revolution in independent film. Now, we're sitting down for Nakea's first viewing, and having an artsy, intimate conversation on some deeply philosophical questions, like: Are all men trash? Should potted plants be used for foreplay? And is James Spader's haircut here a mullet or a Farrah-Do?
