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.

Few arthouse directors have put real sex to such narratively constructive and credibly, humorously human use.

Shortbus flips through varying moods with overall success, fleshing out the characters who show flesh.

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