Review of Bliss

Bliss (1997)
7/10
not bad...for a sex show
28 October 1999
I didn't watch the dumb sex scenes, but in the about forty minutes I saw of "Bliss," there were seriously about five of them, which is...gross. When I wasn't turning the channel from them, I was actually getting somewhat captivated by this film, about a husband and wife and their marital troubles. Reviews made this sound like it would all be about their sex life, but from what I saw, the plot mostly regarded Sheryl Lee and her troubled relationship with her father, which isn't the most creative for a plot(the sex scenes were thrown in for the purpose, I suppose, or else they were simply to make "Bliss" all "cool" and "daring"), but I lived. I don't care for much of the cast, except for Casey Siemaszko(who I saw for about a minute, getting lectured for being "sexist" from Craig Scheffer)and Spalding Gray, but they did pretty well. It's nice to know that a movie that is primarily about stupid sex could have a semi-descent script. It just makes me wonder why they needed the sex in the first place...
