This Spanish production (and that nation has achieved some GREAT mature-themed dramas and comedies over the past 25 years or so, going all the way back to "Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!", etc.) traces the intermittently self-destructive search for pleasure and meaning in life of 29-year old Barcelona resident Valerie (who's actually from southern France, and some of the dialog is in French, although most is in Spanish), who, starting in a flashback (played by a different actress) at age 15, discovered that highly promiscuous -- sometimes virtually random -- sex is what she likes most in life. This poorly-thought-out philosophy brings her into some BAD situations along with all the orgasms, however: an abusive relationship with the classic too-good-to-be-true boyfriend who, as soon as they start living together, becomes a brutal, paranoid dictator...followed by her post-breakup decision to become a prostitute at a high-end brothel. By the end of the movie, she "kind of" has sorted-out her life issues...but her future is left a bit of a question mark.
The cinematography in this movie is very good, with intense colors, good lighting, and sharp focus. The lead actress (Belen Fabra) clearly has no issues with multiple fairly explicit nude scenes (including tasteful full-frontal), but these are quite appropriate to the theme of the film. I was pleasantly surprised with the acting, production and scriptwriting quality of this film, which is much better than the subtitle "Diary of a Sex Addict" (literally "Diary of a Nymphomaniac" in the Spanish) would have implied.

I don't think this movie is something about sex-only movie, but something about life changing moment. Feeling like watching Forest Grump, but having the lead actress with sex addiction instead.
Although the story itself involves with sex scences, the story beautifully portraits the lead actress who is obsessed with the sex and the strong feeling of insecurity.
Becoming a mature woman, she is strong enough to let herself do what she thinks it is just right for her (or she just cannot refuse her wild instinct and the loneliness).
However, we might get a wisdom that even after the long rough experiences in life that might destroy our life, we still can make a very moment of change in our life to be someone we really want to be, if we truly believe in it.

I saw this movie with the thought in my head as if it was the more explicit Bridget jones diary and I thought it was english. Well, nothing of this is true. This one is a very good spannish movie with excellent acting and a good ambiance. Don't let the title misleed you by thinking you have a good justified pornographic movie to watch.
Of course there's a lot of nudity, but in no way it's a sexual teaser. This movie is all about a young girl, getting her life together and finding the good things in life.And please pay attention to the marvelous soundtrack A+

Insatiable - Diary Of A Sex Addict [DVD]
Okay, but I did find it slightly gratuitous. I was not disappointed but expected more from a Spanish film. When tackling these subjects usually spanish cinema has more substance.
