Lots have been said about Shortbus. Yes, the sex is explicit. Yes, the movie will probably be offensive for a lot of viewers. But that doesn't change the fact that this is a good movie. One could say it's a refreshing look at the society we live in, what's taboo and what's not. It's a depressing movie, but it's also full of hope. I guess that explains why it's good. And the characters are interesting: especially Severin (Lindsay Beamish) and Ceth (Jay Brannan). I also like the animated way of showing Manhattan. Seen in Toronto, at the Cumberland, on October 14th, 2006.
