Friends (With Benefits)
The State of Independents
Let’s talk about sex, maybe? A group of six close buddies (three men and three women) live by some simple rules including the belief that friends do not sleep together. Chloe and Owen have known each other since childhood and want to move things to a different level. They embark on a relationship that is strictly physical with no complicating emotional ties. Their decision sends shock waves through the group leading the other four friends to question what they really want. Sharply written by director Gorman Bechard, this is a polished, provocative take on modern relationships with a smart cast and a great soundtrack.
