Review of Sexify

Sexify (2021– )
5/10
Disappointing, inconsistent, unconvincing, not even educational.

Sexify clearly tries to ride the same cart as the 'Sex Education', but contrary to the predecssor it is neither cute, nor convincing, nor actually educational.

The main story is forced and more often than not illogical. Obvious doubts are rather ignored than answered and I found it rather annoying. The technological aspect is just disturbing. It's a shame, cause the general idea is cool and the story line is usually the strong side of the polish movies. I believe with only minor changes and expert consultations it could be easily improved. But in the way it was executed: the whole app, the research, sounds cheap and it just doesn't make any sense..

On the educational side, it shows the transformation of 3, very different, characters, how they change mindsets and get out of their comfort zones - this addresses multiple stereotypes and surely can make some people think, great. But there is really not much more than it. In 8h you'll hear hundred of times that the female orgasm is important and is a goal on its own, but not much stands by it. The 2 out of 3 characters won't even experience it. On top of that the idea that there is an algorithm to the orgasm and that the app can auto-magically create it is somehow scary, and doesn't feel like the right message... So yes, it brings attention to the existence of the female orgasm, but that is as far as it goes, before it leaps backwards...

On the positive side, the characters are well built and well played, the side stories are quite realistic and the situations are often hillarious and funny. The supporting actors are among the polish best and did great job at making it more relaxing and funny. Finally, the soundtrack is an actual masterpiece, chapeau bas!

Overall, I feel very disappointed, that such a good idea was poorly executed, even though great actors were involved. With a better director it could have been 8 or 9, but in this form it's rather disturbing than pleasing to watch.
