You know that thing where people say they can handle anything the love of their life tells them about their past? Cool. This is totally the opposite of that.

Director's statement
I like to think there's an underlying theme in my films of living a more authentic life. Once you get over the idea of who you think you are or should be, you can begin to move toward a more genuine and three-dimensional experience. S&M Sally is a character-driven comedy about people pushing themselves outside of their comfort zone, while poking fun of the insecurities within all of us. It aims to push the envelope just a little further than what we're used to seeing on screen, expand into a fuller spectrum of queer identity, and to explore the funny, awkward, and sometimes shifting dynamics that can exist within a relationship. The story resonates with me through the way it shows the universal albeit unconventional journey of imperfect people finding more authentic versions of themselves.
Reviews
A delightfully entertaining and awesomely kinky romp.
The Independent Critic
(Ehlen)'s able to explore a kind of complexity not limited to gender, sexuality, etc. that few are able to do.
IndieWire
Yet the most daring aspect of Ehlen’s excellent film is her very precise and candid look at relationships – the shifting dynamics of power, the tensions, jealousies, insecurities, desires, and all our awkward, human vulnerability.
MidnightEast
there is a chemistry among the actors that is hard to find...As the central couple, Jen McPherson and Michelle Ehlen are especially fun to watch onscreen.
EDGE
Ehlen has a lock on communicating butch existential angst...hysterical
The Bay Area Reporter
creative and witty...the film is a fun look into how the sex life of some couples can change throughout their relationship and how the idea of the role you play in your relationship may not always be what you think it is
