...little miracle of the movie is that this plays out at four times the length without giving you a headache. The film finds its own pace, and it keeps its personality. It doesn't try to be ruder or kinkier, just bigger and better. It follows a rule Brooks laid down at the beginning of the series: Don't be afraid to show emotion.

In Swinging, Fragonard's 1767 painting of an aristocratic young lady (Stephanie Michels) frolicking in a forest glade becomes a real-life menage a trois even kinkier than it looks.
