Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 1.5/5 --
This is not a film about which you can have mixed feelings. You either love it or loathe it; you are either on its wavelength or you feel assaulted by it. I stand in the latter category.

Rating: 2/5 --
The over-all work remains a courageous example of a personal kind of film making that, to me, leads nowhere.
New York Times
Though much of the content is scandalous, the title is ultimately an accurate one -- the sensibility behind the images is innocent, enthusiastic, and childlike.

[VIDEO ESSAY] To this day, "Sweet Movie" remains a powerfully defiant film deeply rooted in anti-authoritarian motives.

An onslaught of images that are calculated to arouse the viewer to awaken from his slumber.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Potentially one of the most scandalous films ever made -- except that it has been little seen outside France and has not aged well.

Neither hard nor softcore. Yugoslav filmmaker Dusan Makavejev's first pic in the West, is provocative but also arbitrary.

Product Description:
Director Makavejev's controversial SWEET MOVIE actually contains two cult-classic comedic stories. In the first story, Miss World Virginity marries wealthy industrialist Mr. Kapital who has her sterilized, rather than consummating their marriage. She runs off, has an affair and ends up in a commune. In the second story a survivor of the revolution has a sexual encounter with a sailor which ends in his murder in a vat of sugar.
