Bereamic Awesome Movie

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

a_baron This has been called an anti-bullying film; don't let the rhetoric fool you, or anything else, this is as insidious a piece of propaganda as any totalitarian régime has ever produced. It is set in a world or at least an America where homosexuality/lesbianism is the norm, and heterosexuality is tolerated only in the "breeding season". Our heroine is a young girl who fancies a boy and is subjected to intense persecution on account of it, with tragic results.The reality is that homosexuals were never subjected to this kind of persecution in the West, even when queer sex between consenting adults was illegal. Indeed, even most Islamic countries do not persecute homosexuals provided they do not allow their sexuality to invade the public space. The message of this short film is not that violence against homosexuals or more generically "the other" is bad - there have always been laws against that sort of thing - but that homosexuality should be normalised. What is so disgraceful about this film is its blatant exploitation of the young, something that should rightly be called child abuse.

bionic79 What if being gay was the norm and heterophobia existed?In this thought provoking short film we see a world where being gay is the norm in society and being heterosexual will subject you to prejudice, bigotry and hate. I have heard reviews stating this film is very graphic. I don't feel that it is overly graphic. There is simulated and implied violence but nothing too overt. But I imagine that this film will make some people uncomfortable, which I think, is what the film makers are aiming for. I love it when someone turns something on it's ear and makes you think, and this film does just that, it turns societal norms around and hopefully will make you think :)

Gordon-11 This film is about the experience of a young girl who is bullied because of her sexuality."Love Is All You Need?" depicts a world where homosexuality is the norm. The young girl got bullied in school because of her heterosexuality. In just 20 minutes, we see hate, bullying, violence, betrayal and intolerance. What the girl went through is so heart wrenching and tear jerking, that I am sure it will touch every viewer's heart. All these unacceptable attitudes are portrayed very effectively, making it clear that homophobia in the real world is as absurd as the events portrayed in the film. Acting and production are uniformly professional, and I applaud the filmmakers for making this thought provoking short film. I hope it will help spread tolerance and acceptance towards people who are different.

HandHStudios Let me start out by saying this movie is a must-see. Not because it is happy, or funny, but because society needs to watch this; maybe most peoples' opinions on gays will change.I don't think i've ever seen a movie quite like this. Also, the fact that it was condensed into 20 minutes of quick, but powerful shots aided the smooth flow. The actress who plays Ashley delivers a solid performance, and the others are convincing as well.I don't want to give too much away (you need to watch this for yourself), but it will make you rethink how most of society treats gays. Whether you're for it or not doesn't matter here. This movie, in a way, responds to both sides of the argument, rather than just one; and that is probably one of the reasons why it is so powerful. You will be able to connect with Ashley on an emotional level, more than what most movies try to throw at you. The emotion in this film is raw; original; not Hollywood-forced emotion. You will be able to feel her pain and anguish as if it is your own. And unlike most short films, the plot isn't hard to comprehend and isn't slow moving; you will get what's happening right from the beginning; a feat almost impossible with this complex, hard-to-explain plot. But fear not; director Kim Rocco Shields directs.To close, the cinematography and raw emotion make this short film a must-see.HandHStudios Rating:10/10
