Finally saw this over the weekend, and really loved it. I was sort of prepared to have a reaction along the lines of "ok, it was a bold idea to include real graphc sex within a drama, but it wasn't that interesting," but no, I was moved by the warmth and richness of the characters. Anyone else seen it?

I've seen it. Its true that there is graphic, real sex in the film – but in the frame of the film's concept its essential. The director made a good decision to put most of the more graphic material up front in the film, getting the nature of it out of the way. The film overall takes an interesting look at sex as both a subject of relationships and relationships in film.

I agree. Notice that it got less explicit toward the end. Sex became more associated with characters eyes, and close ups.
