CGiii Comment

The only highlight of this sexual compulsive tale of woe...is seeing Fassbender's appendage.

Otherwise...it's a dour journey into man's libido - where any old hole will do.

Dull, care-less improvisation...the peeing, the singing...the film...all futile.

There are some out there...declaring this to be a masterpiece...yeah, right!
