[Review] Shortbus


Recommended Posts

Wow, I've never seen this section of Neowin! I'll probably keep posting some independent, limited movie reviews, as I don't find big blockbusters really interesting.

Shortbus

Plot: Sofia is a sex therapist who never have had an orgasm, Severin is a troubled dominica (? S&M anyhow), James and Jamie is a homosexual couple and Caleb is a stalker. The plot spins of when James and Jamie contacts Sofia to get some sexual advise, finds out about her "secret" and invites her to a alternative sex club they use to visit.

Extremely deep once you get into it. The acting, the characters, and the story are really... sincere, naked, peeled off. However, one must not fear naked bodies (male and female) and actual, real sex on film. And yes, you get to see gay sex to. Even up close. I.e., do not watch this film if you're faint hearted. I guess you have to be quite liberal and free minded to see through the raw sex and beyond the sexual graphics.

I promise you, this is like nothing you've ever seen before. This might be the best film I've ever seen.

My rating: 9/10 (and I'm quite hard to charm)

IMDB: 6.9 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367027/

Trailer: http://www.spike.com/video/2766291 (may contain nudity!)
