Numerous New York City dwellers come to the exclusive club Shortbus to work out problems in their sexual relationships. Rob and Sophia are a happily married couple, except for the fact that she has never experienced sexual climax. This irony follows her to work because she is a couples counselor who frequently has to deal with the sexual issues other couples have. Two of her patients are Jamie and James, a gay couple who have been monogamous for five years and counting. James wants to bring other men in to the relationship, and his own history with depression may hint at an ulterior motive. Ceth (pronounced Seth) may be the perfect addition to their family, but Caleb, a voyeur from across the street, may have his own ideas about that. Sophia visits Severin, a dominatrix with secrets of her own to reveal.
Leave your thoughts about Shortbus.
| Film.comMark BourneShortbus is not, above all, 'dirty.' What it is, in fact, is a nice movie, one of the nicest to come down the pike since March of the Penguins. |
| New York TimesManohla DargisAn ode to the joy and sweet release of sex, the film manages to be a sincere, modest political venture that finds humor where you might least expect it, notably in a ménage à trois featuring a cheeky rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner." |
| Las Vegas Review-JournalCarol ClingDespite the movie's matter-of-fact approach to (and depiction of) graphic acts, the point isn't the sex, it's the genuine emotion generated by the actors, who helped develop their roles with Mitchell. |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Annie WagnerShortbus could stand to lose 30 minutes off its flabbily melancholic denouement. |
| The Tyee (British Columbia)Dorothy WoodendThose with small bus issues, cast aside your inadequacies and embrace the juicy pumping heart of this oddly sweet film. |
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyIt's not art, it's not shocking and worst of all, it's not even particularly new. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongIndulgent, immature, self-preoccupied and downright silly a good deal of the time, Shortbus manages to make sex look like no fun at all. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonWhat makes Shortbus unusual for an American movie is that it isn't frightened of sex, it doesn't reduce the act to insensitive frat boy gyrations, and it doesn't employ it as a bludgeoning weapon. |
| Time OutBen WaltersFew arthouse directors have put real sex to such narratively constructive and credibly, humorously human use. |
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaUm raro exemplo de produção norte-americana que encara o sexo com maturidade, o filme é um estudo de personagens com sucesso apenas moderado, já que não consegue desenvolver todas as subtramas com o mesmo cuidado ou interesse. |
