Doin’ it for Stu: Joe Lynch’s Naked Theater of “Suitable Flesh!” [Review]

Watching “Oppenheimer” in a packed theater was one of the more shocking movie moments of 2023.  Not because of how the display of Cillian Murphy’s hubris will kill us all someday, but because of his first sex scene with Florence Pugh.  It was short and tame, yet people gasped like they just realized Bruce Willis was dead.  It was as if this 17+ audience had forgotten movies used to have sex scenes.  But Joe Lynch, he with a recall that rivals Pepperidge Farms, remembers.  His new film “Suitable Flesh” is a throwback love letter to the 1990’s by being both an erotic thriller and a cosmic horror film.  This isn’t to say we were all perverts in the ‘90s, but moviegoers in general were used to watching a nude scene or two in major R-rated releases.  Paul Verhoeven, the daimyo of erotic thrillers, peppered them in, while still serving the story instead of descending into porn (while I never cared for them one way or the other, why as there so much nudity in “Starship Troopers?”) Lynch walks the line between Verhoeven and the late great Stuart Gordon (who allegedly pitched Lynch to direct this before he passed) in creating a body-hopping horror film with blood, galore.
