BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

abrarmad This is the sickest movie ive ever seen... eww. Crappy lgbt movie which shows how distressed and disturbed those people are. Deep inside they know it so they wanna kill themselves.

paulclaassen At first glance this sexually explicit comedy drama might seem like a porn movie, but delve deeper and you discover a truly moving and emotional film with exceptional acting. It also teaches us to look for signs when someone might be in need of guidance and advise, or detect suicidal notions. Ultimately, I believe, the film is about finding your inner bliss. This was an unusual but wonderful movie experience.

KineticSeoul This is basically a explicit and crude movie that is like a porno except there is some story behind it than most porno. I don't know if the director is trying to be artsy but I just found most of the premise to be just plain vulgar instead of interesting. Especially the Asian girl in this, she was just plain creepy and gross and not attractive what so ever. Some guys would find her personality a turn on but the way she goes about it was just plain gross plus she isn't attractive at all. She is basically a couple counselor that can't get a orgasm and most of the screen time is on her. I give her credit for being ballsy enough to take this role though. The dialogue is bunch of people constantly talking about sex is a crude manner over and over again. It just wasn't all that insightful, the other characters is a couple of gay guys and one of them tries to make weird videos and tries to suck his own dick literally. Again with trying to be artsy and insightful, but it just isn't. I will say this movie was sort of interesting for a couple of minutes than it goes downhill from there, even if there are some slightly humorous scenes later on. Some gay viewers might enjoy this movie or at least the scene with bunch of naked gay guys screwing each other. Now I know this movie tries to bring sexuality in a positive nature like way, but it just doesn't do a good job in that department. I disliked every actress and actor in this movie and the script was just frustrating and when it's over it felt meaningless.3.6/10

mitchell_68 Without a doubt, Shortbus warrants a spot on my list of "Best films of the decade." It is a masterpiece that so few get to admire. As Roger Ebert said, "It's not about sex, but sexuality; It's not about scoring but living..." The story revolves around a group of New Yorkers struggling with life and love, leading them all to intertwine in the underground sex salon called 'Shortbus.' The sexually explicit scenes are completely necessary in order to achieve what John Cameron Mitchell so valiantly tried and succeeded to. This film depicts an uncensored view of life, love, and sex with comedic undertones, and heavy subject matter that left me sobbing long after the movie had ended. Props to actress Sook-Yin Lee (Sofia) for a truly inspirational performance in the film. From process to product, this film is a work of art that ought not be ignored. The performances from the cast were astounding, the cinematography was a dream scape beauty, and the words were pure genius. I implore you... WATCH THIS FILM. It will change the way you look at life, and help open your mind. Thumbs up, five gold stars, the whole nine yards!
