Skip it. This 2001 indie drama is more clinical than compelling—it mistakes graphic sex scenes for emotional depth and reduces intimacy to a hollow transaction. Unless you're specifically hunting for arthouse cinema about disconnection, there are better explorations of human longing out there.
Plot
Failed musician Jay abandoned his family and now earns a living as head bartender in a trendy London pub. Every Wednesday afternoon, a woman comes to his house for graphic, almost wordless, sex. One day, Jay follows her and learns about her. This eventually disrupts their relationship.
