Navigating Consent and Partying in 'How to Have Sex': Cannes Film Festival Review

"How to Have Sex," a debut film by Molly Manning Walker, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. The film follows three British teenage girls on a summer break in Crete, where they hope to lose their virginity. The film is a devastating look at love and consent, as the girls navigate the battlefield of various tacky dancefloors and fight each other for attention and supremacy. The film's success lies in its disarmingly frank and immediate approach to youth culture with a forensic eye on unequal gender politics.
