Autoerotic is an intimate, raw, and sometimes uncomfortable exploration of modern relationships and loneliness. The film follows several couples whose emotional disconnection pushes them toward unconventional and often solitary forms of intimacy.

The emotional tone is awkward, fragmented, and quietly melancholic. Rather than presenting romance in a traditional way, the film exposes the loneliness beneath physical desire. Moments that could feel erotic instead often feel isolating, highlighting how people struggle to connect even when they crave closeness.

There is also a sense of dry humor and realism, typical of indie “mumblecore” cinema, but it’s mixed with discomfort and emotional distance. Watching it can feel like observing private, vulnerable moments that are not meant to be seen—leaving you with a strange mix of curiosity, unease, and reflection about intimacy in modern life.
