Only Love Matters

Expect a roller coaster of emotion! The first British film to examine the little known subject of intersex people and the prejudices they face in society. Decisions are made at birth as to weather they shall live as male or female, which can involve irreversible surgery. However, the film celebrates the two main intersex characters resilience and eventual acceptance by people who truly love them for who they are.

The cinematography, especially the scenes in India, are visually stunning. The actors handle their roles with empathy, pathos and the right amount of vulnerability. There are twists and turns that make it a very emotional watch but I cannot recommended it enough.

I recently watched the movie "Only Love Matters," and despite not being someone who writes movie reviews frequently, I felt compelled to share my thoughts. Directed by Kamran Qureshi, the film does an exceptional job in multiple aspects, making it an experience that is both visually captivating and emotionally impactful.

First and foremost, the picturization of this film on beautiful locations is nothing short of stunning. The brilliant camera work captures the essence of these settings, immersing the audience in a world of natural beauty. The cinematography adds depth to the storytelling and enhances the overall viewing experience. The acting performances in the movie are noteworthy, showcasing the talent of the cast.

One of the most remarkable aspects of "Only Love Matters" is its ability to evoke strong emotional responses from the audience. There are moments in the film where you truly feel like you're a part of the characters' world, and the emotional resonance is so powerful that it can bring tears to your eyes.

"Only Love Matters" is a cinematic gem that not only entertains but also educates and enlightens. It's a testament to the power of cinema in addressing important social issues and promoting empathy and understanding. Kudos to the director, the cast, and the entire team behind this remarkable film for delivering a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant piece of storytelling. It's a must-watch for anyone looking to both be entertained and gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by intersex individuals.

'Only Love Matters' is a pioneering, entertaining and powerful piece of cinema. Featuring two lead intersex characters, it's a trailblazing tale of love against the odds where tolerance and empathy are not always in evidence for those who don't fit the conventional societal definitions of what constitutes 'normal'. The central performances are strong, the cinematography impressive (particularly the scenes filmed in India) and the film defiantly wears it heart on its sleeve, so be prepared for a very emotional watch. Coming in at just over 90 minutes, it's a concise piece and may have benefited from an extra fifteen minutes to allow the 'parallel stories' plotline and character arcs to develop more fully. That said, 'Only Love Matters' is an immersive, inspirational and sincerely emotive film which will leave you both intellectually stimulated and emotionally drained. In an age of one-dimensional blockbusters it's important that films like this are being made; even if only to remind us all that - at the end of the day - maybe it is only love that truly matters.

The story circles around two women (an intersex mother and a daughter). It gives you entertainment, laugh and importantly a message and information we never came across regarding intersex bodies and their issues in an awesome way. A movie that can be watched among all group ages of family member. I watched the film in BFI Southbank cinema London. This movie delivers a brilliant informative message for society regarding the due respect and honour for intersex bodies. We all must exercise it and let them enjoy the life as God has bestowed upon them with their own built up and emotions.

Throughly enjoyed watching the movie. It's very well researched and it helped me learn some of the details about intersex people which I was unaware of before watching the movie. Inclusive movies like this should me made more because it could be educational cause the mainstream media creates unrealistic standards that we live every day to live up to. Inclusive movies like Only love matters can be movies we could make our parents watch to educate them about the LGBT+ community. It taught me that we are born with certain sex which is different from the binary gender and just to remind you, it is's the gender we choose normally these days. Mind opening movie! Well done!
