Review of Shortbus (2006) by Alec B — 24 Nov 2009

While I think its more of a collection of moments rather than real storytelling at times there are some tremendously powerful moments (such as when a former mayor of New York talks about his failure during the aids crisis in the 80s) and the ending is something that is both bittersweet and feel good at the same time.

Its too experimental to be called a true masterpiece, but it is still a remarkable and brave film about human sexuality.
