Synopsis

After witnessing a murder on Manhattan’s gritty streets, a bohemian couple become the dangerous obsession of a greaser gang. Fear transforms into thrill and lust as the wife becomes infatuated with the gang’s rough exterior, and the husband singles out a gang member as an object of affection.

Our take

Riotously campy as a 1950s housewife awakened to fetishistic thrills, Oscar® nominee Andrea Riseborough is a vortex of sexual chaos in Amanda Kramer’s genderqueer musical fantasia, also starring Demi Moore. Dripping with neon colors, Please Baby Please surrenders to the ecstasy of erotic liberation.
