Although Fred Ward would not be most people's idea of the sexiest leading man, this tale based on the works of Anais Nin is far steamier than most of the cornball soft-core porn that passes for erotica these days, and the literary subplot makes an interesting period backdrop.
It is interesting watching a movie in 2009 made with a 1990?s take on a story that take place in the 1940?s. The pitch for the story is that it is an intellectual story with steamy romance, but to me it still comes off as soft core porn with an interesting plot. I have to say tha... read more
Phillip Kaufman's adaptation of the Anais Nin book of the same name is mainly remembered today as the first film to receive an NC-17 rating. This little footnote in film history will probably remain the film's only claim to fame, as I thought it was otherwise a rather lackluster ... read more
The film has a lot going for it - especially a beautiful cinematography and a wonderful, sexy cast - but ultimately feels like it isn't telling much of a story.
Having spent much of my life in non-monogamous relationships that others see as scandalous and wild, one would think I'd like this one. And I guess I do, in a way. But when it comes down to it, it's just a movie about unhealthy, irresponsible people having unhealthy, irresponsi... read more
Beautifully rendered portrait of the affair of Anais Nin and Henry Miller. Though controversial at the time (and the reason the NC-17 rating came to pass), this is nothing more than a sensual drama, no more or less explicit than anything else out these days. I recommend it for... read more
A very sexy movie. A young Uma Thurman very hot. And Medeiros is a sexual being who is experiencing a change in her life falls for Ward who plays Henry Miller. A must see get you in the mood movie.
The first movie ever given the NC-17 rating, Henry and June is a very rare film in itself. While there is alot of sex and nudity, the movie is more erotic with a touch of passion. For fans of authors Anais Nin and Henry Miller will find this movie more compelling than others migh... read more
OMG -- this is so erotic and I am so glad my good friend recomended to me! Uma is good in this one! -- you can watch this many times but don't eat too much popcorn!
Sexy, erotic, smart, fun, inspiring.
What can I say? I love Henry, I love June, I adore Anais Nin. I've been reading her diary and Miller's "Tropic of Cancer" and this film was a great visual companion after years of reading.
A bawdy and joyous celebration of sensuality. A great cinematic tip of the hat to the "happiest man alive."
A big shame.
Beautiful, but more than a little overwrought.
A lush biopic unafraid of deep thoughts and sexuality.
too long, too talky and yet strangely intriguing
