Reviews

Since it's supposed to be winter outside, and Sasha Grey walks up the subway exit amid snowflakes, it's a little strange seeing her walking around without shoes to look over the loft she wants to rent... but what the hell? As soon as she sees Randy Spears staring out the window, she's immediately attracted, and the pair share what appears to be a dry hump... and then he leaves. What the hell?

But that's the whole plot here: Both their lives are changed by this "close encounter." Sasha goes home to her pregnant roommate/lover Ryder Skye; Randy goes home to his fatally-ill mother-in-law Nina Hartley, but neither can stop thinking about the sex they shared—and, for some reason, recriminating about past sexual mistakes.

But of course, Sasha and Randy do meet—and fuck—again... twice, in fact, and each time slightly more explicit than the last.

Then, through flashbacks, we learn that Randy used to be with Stephanie Swift, and at a party, the pair peep Kelly Skyline  getting it on with Barrett Blade, get friskly observing Eric Masterson being double-teamed by Jandi Lin and Kimberly Kane, and finish off watching Evan Stone manipulate geisha-faced "puppets" Dana DeArmond and Ryder Skye... until Stephanie decides to steal Evan for herself. But when Randy sneaks away before they're done, Stephanie freaks out, goes to the loft and commits suicide.

Sasha and Ryder spend a tender night together (well, dildos are involved) but finally, Sasha and Randy come clean with each other—which only cements their bond more strongly... and makes the inevitable break-up (this is a David Stanley movie) all the more poignant.
