She's Gotta Have It

1986 · 84 min

A breezy, talky, black-and-white Brooklyn romp that charms with wit and direct address, then turns quietly uncomfortable and unresolved.

Tagline: A seriously sexy comedy.
Overview: The story of Nola Darling's simultaneous sexual relationships with three different men is told by her and by her partners and other friends. All three men wanted her to commit solely to them; Nola resists being "owned" by a single partner.
How it feels: Light, romantic, satirical and earnest. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Love, freedom, sexuality, identity
Content: Strong sexual content and language. Mild violence. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
