Insightful review. What director Halina Reijn had to say about the role of the intimacy coordinator increased my appreciation for this film.
To most people, the intimacy coordinator is this post-MeToo fixture that makes sure no one is sexually abused during production. But Reijn sees it differently. The intimacy coordinator can also be used like a stunt coordinator to consult with actors and make more extreme sexual scenes possible. They can enable greater creativity on set.
