Touch Me Not's reviews
Media reviews
There?s no room for prudes in the illuminating film 'Touch Me Not', where characters grapple with the pleasures and pains of their naked bodies and how they relate to them.
The Hollywood Reporter
A relentlessly immersive tour de force.
Indiewire
'Touch Me Not' points towards all manner of holistic truths, but leaves them all frustratingly out of reach.
Variety
'Touch Me Not' is a divisive film that aims to address more issues than it can persuasively handle.
The Guardian
People will want to make their own minds up about the film, but for me there is something worryingly crass and naïve in it.
Touch Me Not should strike a chord most readily with those who?ve struggled to understand or express their own identity.
New York Times
It tells the story of three people ? including a fiftysomething woman who recoils at being touched and a man crippled by spinal muscular atrophy ? struggling with issues of intimacy.
With its fluid interface between fiction and reality, the film seems to suggest that we are all continuously negotiating the amounts of fiction and reality in our lives, in our relationship with ourselves.
Romanian director Adina Pintilie establishes a dialogue with several real-life characters, in what can be described as a documentary with flavours of fiction.
