Review
Uncut, 01/01/2007, p.142, 4 stars out of 5 -- "SHORTBUS is fun, optimistic and observant. Hardcore was never so softhearted." Sight and Sound, 12/01/2006, p.74, "SHORTBUS is at its best when it's being funny, especially in scenes in the club..." Uncut, 08/01/2007, p.138, 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] warm and optimistic film....The enthusiastic cast of first-timers provide a seductive picture of post 9/11 New York..." Box Office, 07/01/2006, p.57, 3 stars out of 5 -- "Mitchell, despite appearances, is more interested in what makes his characters tick rather than their physical peccadilloes." New York Times, 10/04/2006, p.E8, "Mr. Mitchell finds his happy ending in raucous music and warm caresses, in an oceanic feeling in which everyone is free to be freakily you and me. His idealism is pleasingly touching..." Rolling Stone, 09/07/2006, p.122, "[Mitchell] finds the battle between lust and intimacy. Funny, touching and vital." Rolling Stone, 10/19/2006, p.138, 3 stars out of 5 -- "[I]f there is such a thing as hard-core with a soft-heart, this is it." Premiere, 11/01/2006, p.45, 3 stars out of 4 -- "Mitchell's energy and occasional ingenuity make SHORTBUS an engaging experience..." Entertainment Weekly, 10/13/2006, p.110, "SHORTBUS is chipper, it's fresh, it emits a distinct musk of controversy." Total Film, 01/01/2007, p.34, 4 stars out of 5 -- "The most curiously heartwarming movie you'll see this, or any other, year."

Product Notes
Writer/director John Cameron Mitchell follows up the cult classic HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH with another salacious slice of sex-laden cinema. Mitchell interweaves three separate tales of highly sexed and sexually frustrated New Yorkers, all of whom find some kind of salvation at an underground club named Shortbus. Anything goes at Shortbus--wild orgies between people from different ages, backgrounds, and sexual preferences are treated as commonplace, and most of the sex scenes shot through Mitchell's voyeuristic lens are completely unsimulated. Mitchell allows little time for his audience to pause for breath, opening SHORTBUS with a frantic collage of copulation and carnality that features most of his central characters. These include Sofia (Sook-Yin Lee), a sex therapist who has never reached full orgasm; gay couple James (Paul Dawson)--who begins the movie by fellating himself--and Jamie (PJ DeBoy); and Severin (Lindsay Beamish), a dominatrix who finds herself unable to find true love.
