Mubi Trailer for Molly Manning Walker's Party Film 'How to Have Sex'

"Best holiday ever!" Mubi has revealed a trailer for the film with a provocative title - How to Have Sex. Marking the feature directorial debut of cinematographer Molly Manning Walker, this premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival where it won the top prize in the Un Certain Regard section. Three British teen girls go on a rites-of-passage holiday – drinking, clubbing, hooking up, in what should be the best summer of their lives. But it turns into a cautionary tale about the pressures of sex, consent, and self-discovery. More of a film about how not to have sex, which is the whole point. Breakout star Mia McKenna-Bruce plays Tara, starring with Samuel Bottomly, Lara Peake, Shaun Thomas, and newcomers Enva Lewis and Laura Ambler. While many critics seem to be a fan, I'm not – I wrote a scathing review in Cannes about how empty it is... It's one big party movie with teens making many bad decisions.
