"Listen to the spectacular nonchalance with which she says, "Fine, I'll fuck you, but you have to bring someone who will open your ass for me." Or when she passes Elliot off to an out-of-town associate, with a "Screw her real good, but don't let her penetrate you, she's not that close a friend." Erika's a great, outsize character, and she's also an avatar for Araki's many gleeful provocations."
"The actress has always stood out when she's been allowed to go big, and as controversial artist Erika Tracy, a self-described "pretentious bitch from hell," she gets what might be her best part yet. This is a woman who instantly peppers her newest assistant, the unassuming Elliot (Cooper Hoffman), with all sorts of inappropriate questions, and within a week of hiring him turns him into a sex toy, making him crawl on the floor of her office,"
Olivia Wilde portrays Erika Tracy, a flamboyant, foulmouthed, sex-crazed artist who delights in BDSM role-play with her new assistant, Elliot (Cooper Hoffman). Erika recruits Elliot through inappropriate questions, quickly turning him into a submissive sex partner who enjoys crawling, bondage, spanking, and cross-dressing. The character delivers outrageous, nonchalant lines that normalize extreme sexual exchanges, including explicit directives and passing him to associates with casual cruelty. Erika voices contempt for workplace decorum and rails against Generation Z prudery, while offering paradoxical lines like "Sex is everything. It's also nothing," suggesting an ambivalent cinematic view of sex. The tone blends provocation with breezy humor.
