克里斯汀（桑迪·麦克劳德 饰）是一个聪明而谦逊的年轻女子，她在时代广场附近的一家色情剧院从事售票工作。 克里斯汀没有远离这个环境的黑暗和色情本质，而是很快发展出一种开始消耗她的生活的痴迷。 角色的反应出人意料地颠覆了正常的性别角色； 导演戈登大胆地扭曲了女权主义意识形态，展示了一个通过对色情感兴趣来寻找自我表达的女人。 综艺节目将克里斯汀与她的男朋友马克（威尔·帕顿 饰）和看起来很危险的剧院赞助人路易的关系中发生的变化戏剧化，变得更加具有挑衅性。

拍电视剧出身的导演伍库克首次执导的电影也许不会很出位，但他也绝没有走中规中矩的老路。保罗(艾莱克·纽曼饰)同时爱上了两个人：一个是比利(马克·沃伦饰)，他思想另类，甚至想让保罗和他跳脱衣舞的女朋友赫尔(劳拉·克里夫顿饰)上床；另一个是漂亮的单身妈妈朱莉叶特(西耶娜·盖洛里饰)，她想和保罗结婚。保罗觉得平静的家庭生活太没有挑战性了。即使如此，他对那位狡猾的男伴仍然持有戒心。沃伦饰演的这个角色令人胆寒。他的挑逗是一种暗示与威胁的结合。盖洛里饰演的这个本来非常无趣的角色也一反常规。但影片在本来应该紧张的地方突然松弛了下来。纽曼的演出虽然卖力，但保罗这个角色还是太软弱。

In 2010, a South Korean baby named Sarang died of malnutrition. The death of a child is always horrific, but the circumstances leading up to this one were even more shocking: Sarang died because her parents were playing games online. Ordinarily, this would be a clear case of negligence, but Love Child takes a different approach by looking at what led to the parents’ gaming addiction and how their child became a secondary concern. The film then expands from this tragedy to examine the way that South Korea’s place as the world leader of Internet infrastructure has adversely affected its communal society.

Despite its suggestive title, this multi-part Danish omnibus film is not a work of exploitation. Instead, it presents 20 different short films (back-to-back) on the general theme of Danish women, directed by filmmakers including Krzysztof Zanussi, Monika Treut, Gustav Hamos, David Blair, Vibeke Vogel, Dusan Makavejev, Morten Skallerud and Lars Norgaard. Some dramatic vignettes mix with other comedic ones, but all are offbeat and experimental. The picture includes one animated sequence (by Norgaard).
