About this movie

John Cameron Mitchell's SHORTBUS explores the lives of several emotionally challenged characters as they navigate the comic and tragic intersections between love and sex in and around a modern-day underground salon. A sex therapist who has never had an orgasm, a dominatrix who is unable to connect, a gay couple who are deciding whether to open up their relationship, and the people who weave in and out of their lives, all converge on a weekly gathering called Shortbus: a mad nexus of art, music, politics, and polysexual carnality. Set in a post-9/11, Bush-exhausted New York City, SHORTBUS tells its story with sexual frankness, suggesting new ways to reconcile questions of the mind, pleasures of the flesh, and imperatives of the heart.

Ratings and reviews

Bad acting, trite "woke" BS script, no doubt those behind this debacle are experienced riding the short bus. Pass. Some things are best kept private or inside a closet.

I loved this movie.Open your mind and go on their journeys,You just might learn something about yourself.

One of the most important and beautiful movies I've ever seen. I use it as a litmus test to figure out who the best people are.
