Failed musician Jay abandoned his family and now earns a living as head bartender in a trendy London pub. Every Wednesday afternoon, a woman comes to his house for graphic, almost wordless, sex. One day, Jay follows her and learns about her. This eventually disrupts their relationship.
Critics consensus
Acted out with both physical and psychological nakedness by its two leads, Intimacy is an unflinchingly honest look at alienation.
