A group of New Yorkers caught up in their romantic/sexual milieu converge at Shortbus, an underground Brooklyn salon infamous for its blend of art, music, politics, and carnality, and loosely inspired by various underground NYC gatherings that took place in the early 2000s. Here, gay couple Jamie (PJ DeBoy) and James (Paul Dawson) meet Ceth (Jay Brannan), a young ex-model and aspiring singer.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Few arthouse directors have put real sex to such narratively constructive and credibly, humorously human use.
– Ben Walters,

rotten:
Wearing its controversy-courting eagerness to shock on its sleeve, the film aims to challenge taboos, but comes up short.
– Colin Covert,

rotten:
It runs out of energy before the end.

fresh:
One woman's quest for the perfect orgasm may strike sophisticated viewers as the stuff of sexual farce at best, but Sook-Yin Lee's Sofia brings both emotion and eroticism to the proceedings, and for this Mr. Mitchell should be commended.
– Andrew Sarris,

fresh:
Shortbus 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.
