Review of Shortbus (2006) by Cj C — 20 Mar 2009

This film has a very interesting dynamic. All of the sex in the movie is real and most of the people in it aren't actually actors. They spent over a year preparing for the film, so you get the feeling that everyone is really earnest in their roles.

This does two things, makes the sex feel a lot more real and makes it glaringly obvious who the actors are. This makes the actual story a lot harder to bear because you get the impression that the acting is forced.

If for no other reason, see this movie to see the bold statement that it makes about sex on film.
