To want to go and see a new art film (Paradise: Love) but scared of sex scenes

Its about a group of middle-aged Austrian women friends who go to Kenya and sort of get involved in the sex tourism thing. I've watched the trailer, and it looks an interesting film. But the reviews imply the sex scenes are disturbing, not porn or erotic in any way (the Guardian), but so explicit as to be not given a film classification. I should mention, I am on the squeamish side...

Yes, the women. But my feeling was the director made them kind of beautiful too ... maybe that was just my experience ...

Moominmamma I definitely didn't find it cringy because of the actors' looks. I find the theme of sexual exploitation/exploitation of vulnerable women/objectification of African men/sexual colonialism quite disturbing.
