Boasting a star-studded cast including an unforgettable Demi Moore, Please Baby Please explores the sexual and philosophical awakening of a bohemian newlywed couple following their run-in with a greaser gang of misfit queers. Arthur (Harry Potter’s Harry Melling) and Suze (a fearless Andrea Riseborough) are a loving couple, but against their better judgment, they fall under the spell of Teddy (Karl Glusman), the Brando-esque, leather-clad leader of the Young Gents. While Arthur finds himself driven by lust, Suze longs to possess him, opening up an exciting and dangerous new world beyond the shackles of gender, sexuality, and monogamy.

With influences ranging from John Waters to Kenneth Anger, director Amanda Kramer (Ladyworld) brings a bold vision to this almost-musical. Its hypnotic score, impressionistic, neon-lit sets, and carefully choreographed sequences evoke West Side Story, even if Cole Escola is the only cast member to break out in song. A pastiche of queer sensibilities, Hollywood genres, and feminist theory, Please Baby Please is the sort of rich, cinematic experience that you have to see to fully appreciate.
