It Feels So Good film review: erotic Japanese movie has lots of nudity but is otherwise boring and forgettable

  • Director Haruhiko Arai set out to give a nod to Japan’s ‘roman porno’ films, but as erotic films go, It Feels So Good is an interminable bore
  • Nothing remotely arousing is created during the numerous sex scenes, which are interspersed with dollops of pseudointellectual gibberish
