a nightmare date with a half-formed wit done a great disservice by a lack of critical distance and a sad trust in liberal arts college bumper sticker platitudes. Full Review |

 |
Davis' candid, archly funny and deeply authentic take on intimate relationships comes to fruition in her sophomore effort. Full Review |

|
|
Despite its many infuriating flaws -- not the least of which is Amy's self-absorbed personality -- Amy's O's honesty will win you over.

When compared to the usual, more somber festival entries, Davis' highly personal brand of romantic comedy is a tart, smart breath of fresh air that stands out from the pack even if the picture itself is somewhat problematic. Full Review |

One of the most plain, unimaginative romantic comedies I've ever seen. Full Review |

Julie Davis is the Kathie Lee Gifford of film directors, sadly proving once again ego doesn't always go hand in hand with talent. Full Review |

Davis is funny, charming and quirky in her feature film acting debut as Amy. Full Review |

The whole mess boils down to a transparently hypocritical work that feels as though it's trying to set the women's liberation movement back 20 years. Full Review |

2.5/5 |
Frankly, it's kind of insulting, both to men and women. And it's not that funny -- which is just generally insulting. Full Review |

About Amy's cuteness, Amy's career success (she's a best-selling writer of self-help books who can't help herself), and Amy's neuroses when it comes to men. Full Review |

A movie that harps on media-constructed 'issues' like whether compromise is the death of self… this Orgasm [won't be an] exceedingly memorable one for most people. Full Review |

1.5/4 |
Davis the performer is plenty fetching enough, but she needs to shake up the mix, and work in something that doesn't feel like a half-baked stand-up routine. Full Review |

|
4/5 |
Like Kissing Jessica Stein, Amy's Orgasm has a key strength in its willingness to explore its principal characters with honesty, insight and humor. Full Review |

Davis ... is so enamored of her own creation that she can't see how insufferable the character is.
