The movie becomes quite provocative. Paltrow portrays the wife of a rival, and there are numerous intimate scenes. “We have a lot of sex in this film,” she told Vanity Fair. Paltrow experimented with an intimacy coordinator, which was a new experience for her. “I’m old-school,” she said. “Get naked, get in bed, roll camera.” Ultimately, she decided to forgo the additional assistance.
