Storyline
Although deeply in love with her boyfriend - and indeed sleeping in the same bed with him - a schoolteacher cannot handle the almost complete lack of intimacy he will allow. Increasingly frustrated, she gradually finds her sexual appetites leading her into ever more risky situations, including a developing one with the headmaster.

New York Daily News
No other mainstream movie has so openly tackled the subject of female sexual experience.

Chicago Sun-Times
I did not really enjoy this movie, and yet I recommend it. Why? Because I think it's on to something interesting. Here is a movie about a woman who never stops thinking. That may not be as good for you as it is for her.

Despite many flaws...Romance is unquestionably an important film.

Entertainment Weekly
The movie is a footnote as well, a minor reference back to the days when people yearned for a cinema that was serious and erotic at the same time.

Lots of sex, but little joy.
