His friends include recently separated Baptiste (Franck Dubosc) and Olivia (Florence Foresti) and an assemblage of other undeveloped characters dealing with other
issues that comes
across as an attempt at adult
issues bingo rather than an incisive vivisection of middle age — divorce, professional / financial strain,
intimacy, children — that can be the strongest and weakest parts of the film.
«Based around an English woman's attempt to overcome her
intimacy issues, and ranging
across everything from disability to sex clubs, Touch Me Not blends fiction and documentary and is Adina Pintilie's first feature film.»
