Touchy Feely (15)

Touchy Feely (15)

Drama

A massage therapist is unable to do her job when stricken with a mysterious and sudden aversion to bodily contact. Meanwhile, her uptight brother's floundering dental practice receives new life when clients seek out his healing touch.


The critical consensus

Intermittently funny but erratically structured, it's a rare disappointment from Shelton.

**(*)(*)(*)David Hughes, Empire Online, 12/05/2014

Despite charming support from Ellen Page and Scoot McNairy, and a few chuckles, the characters’ bourgeois concerns fails to trip the give-a-shit switch, and the most memorable moment is Andrew Bird’s ‘Skin Is, My’ over the credits.

**(*)(*)(*)Matt Glasby, Total Film, 12/05/2014

Vaguely amusing in places but it mostly drifts by making little impact.

**(*)(*)(*)Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 16/05/2014

The algebra of the relationships doesn't quite add up to a satisfying conclusion.

***(*)(*)Leslie Felperin, The Guardian, 15/05/2014

Decent performances, but the film as a whole is a dramatic and thematic mess.

**(*)(*)(*)David Jenkins, Little White Lies, 15/05/2014

Innocuous then, but sadly lacking the wit and insight of Shelton's far superior Your Sister's Sister.
