Leave your thoughts about Chemsex.
| 4:3Felix HubbleA surprisingly sturdy and nuanced exploration of a dangerous, drug-fueled underground sex culture that has increasingly been infiltrating the mainstream. |
| CineVueJamie NeishAs daring and frank as it may be, Chemsex is also one of those documentaries that actually gives a damn about its subject. |
| The SkinnyRachel BowlesChemsex is a must see 'issues' film, which will hopefully serve to increase awareness about those who suffer with the dark side of this sociological phenomenon. |
| The ListMatthew TurnerThe hard-hitting approach to the subject matter means that Chemsex is frequently uncomfortable to watch, but there's no denying the urgency of its central message. |
| Time OutTom HuddlestonA bleak, disturbing and unforgettably frank portrait of a subculture on the edge. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Tim RobeyDirectors William Fairman and Max Gogarty take a serious-minded approach to the psychological scars this behaviour both masks and worsens. |
| Times (UK)Kate MuirSerious, shocking and occasionally stomach-churning. |
| Little White LiesDavid JenkinsA very strong piece of journalistic documentary. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Colin FraserIt is a provocative, often shocking exposé about a 'new norm.' |
| Playback:stlSarah BoslaughThe directors achieved extraordinary access to this subculture, and skillfully combine staged interviews with, among other things, footage shot in clubs and people's homes. |
