“There have been other films about no sex in America, but this was a particularly good one - by Jane Treays, who has made a lot of good documentaries. It was cool and non-judgmental, and all the more powerful and creepy for being so.”

“Anyone with a sugar intolerance would have been advised to stay well away from last night's The Virgin Daughters which managed the difficult feat of combining nausea-inducing saccharine with an air of distinct creepiness.”

“Ultimately Ogilvie received some comfort from the news that his brain exhibited funny electrical patterns which implied he did communicate in a “non-verbal” way. By this point my own brain was exhibiting funny electrical patterns.”
