Can someone time this movie and note where the sexy parts are?  
Even waiting for another movie to start, I don’t want to bother watching more of FF than necessary to see the sex scenes.

Why don’t you just rent a porn flick? I hear _Hairy Palmer and the Chamer of Secrets_ has just been released.

While there are a couple of sex scenes, the film is far more artistic than titillitating.

I have already made my (too hasty?) judgement that the rest of the film is bad, but I want to make my own of the sex scenes

They’re in the first half hour of the film, at least the hot lesbian action scenes. However, if you’re just interested in the film for the sex scenes, you’re really missing out on a great film. It’s well-crafted, written, and acted. At least one of the (nonsex) shots, is one of the best looking things I’ve ever seen on film.
