Review of Shortbus (2006) by Leilanil. — 30 Jan 2007
By far, the best movie I've seen in a couple of years! I read some of the message board reviews on IMDB and was shocked at the backlash from some viewers... Yes, there's real sex in the movie.
Yes, it may come as a bit of a shock to most. But John Cameron Mitchell doesn't bring us porn, he brings us food for the mind and for the soul. Personally, I could find parallels between nearly all the characters and people in my life-- even in myself! The film wasn't about sex, but about the people we are and the people we aspire to be.
I strongly believe that those who watch this film and can't focus on anything other than the sex are missing the focus and beauty of this film.
