Molly Manning Walker's How to Have Sex on Blu-ray & DVD in February

1 February 2024

Global film distributor, streaming service and production company, MUBI, has announced that Molly Manning Walker's critically acclaimed How To Have Sex, will be available to buy on Blu-ray and DVD from 12 February 2024. How To Have Sex is a vibrant and authentic depiction of the agonies, ecstasies and ride-or-die glory of young female friendship.  

Winner of the Un Certain Regard prize at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, the film garnered British Independent Film Awards for Best Lead Performance for Mia McKenna-Bruce, Best Supporting Performance for Shaun Thomas, and Best Casting for Isabella Odoffin. How to Have Sex has also received three nominations for the 2024 EE British Academy Film Awards, namely Outstanding British Film; Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer for Molly Manning Walker, and Casting for Isabella Odoffin. Lead actor Mia McKenna-Bruce is nominated for the EE Rising Star Award.

Three British teenage girls go on a rites-of-passage holiday, drinking, clubbing and hooking up in what should be the best summer of their lives. As they dance their way across the sun-drenched streets of Malia, they find themselves navigating the complexities of sex, consent and self-discovery.

Captured with luminous visuals and a pitch-perfect soundtrack, Manning Walker's directorial debut paints a painfully familiar portrait of young adulthood, and how first sexual experiences should – or shouldn't – play out. 

Described in Empire as "A storming British debut," How To Have Sex stars Mia McKenna-Bruce (Persuasion, Kindling), a Screen Star of Tomorrow 2023, BIFA Award-winning and BAFTA-nominated EE Rising Star, with BAFTA-nominated Samuel Bottomley (Somewhere Boy, Ladhood), Lara Peake (Mood, Brave New World), BIFA Award-winning Shaun Thomas (Ali & Ava, The Long Shadow), and newcomers Enva Lewis and Laura Ambler.
