Amazon.co.uk Review
In his aim to make an honest film about sex, John Cameron Mitchell (Hedwig and the Angry Inch) has taken a somewhat documentary approach to Shortbus, a film describing various New Yorkers' sexual pathos. Framed by shots roving a homemade diorama of the city, Shortbus is comprised of vignettes featuring actors who helped craft this story of people's disconnect in sexual endeavors. Jamie (PJ DeBoy) and James (Paul Dawson), a gay couple experiencing a lull in their relationship, visit Sophia (Sook-Yin Lee), a sex therapist whose inability to orgasm results in her clients inviting her to a sex club after which the film is titled. Sophia's husband, Rob (Raphael Barker), is also willing to experiment, so the two independently embark on adventures in self-pleasure. Dominatrix Severin (Lindsay Beamish) plays a crucial role in Sophia and Rob's lives, as her search for real humanity overlaps with their desire for passion. As each character's plot complicates, the viewer sees a similar melancholy bulldozing its way into these seemingly disparate lives. The depression is repeatedly used in comedic scenes, such as when James is asked on a date while still hospitalised for his attempted suicide. Yo La Tengo's score, which includes Animal Collective among others, lends this film a graceful ambience. Unlike porn, Shortbus has a resonance that encourages the viewer to consider one's own sex life as an important aspect of happiness. --Trinie Dalton

 Mostly gay sex February 16, 2010

I was hoping for much more from this film than it delivers. I think the director could achieve more but fails in all but two scenes; which are hardley worth waiting for. However if you like gay male sex you might enjoy it.
BORING!!! January 29, 2010
BURGERBOI (BRADFORD)
i bought this dvd after reading some of the reviews here,and soon found myself dozing off half way through.it starts with a bang,literally,and just fizzles out half a hour into it.theres some strange scenes such as when one of the gay characters is pleasuring himself in the weirdest way possible.i didnt think men could do that to themselves but good for him.other than a few ok bits this story is very depressing at times and the story about the main women not being able to orgasm just gets boring
overall its ok but not worth buying,unless all you wanna see is nudity and to catch a few zzzzzzs
 great horny fun ! January 27, 2010

It's a bit more porno than I remembered from the cinema - but an excellent film, and study of the futility of life and relationships.
Worth to buy and watch October 8, 2009

In a few words. Worth to buy and watch. I haven't seen before any movie where lack of love together with seeking for one will be hide that much by strong sexual acts. In this movie only the viewers decide which side they catch and see.
