    Educational, well researched and mind opening

    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!

    A unique masterpiece

    This film represents a completely different aspects of our lives which we perhaps have been ignoring so long, brining up a sensitive and touch me not subject of intersex and the way they and their related people are treated in our society with sober and fun elements mixed was astounding. I really appreciate this must watch movie and applaud the effort of entire team specially the director and producer for portraying thé sensitive subject in delicate manner. I am expecting this movie brings the awareness amongst people to show respect towards those who have not been born with bodies natural like us.

    Worth watching film

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.

    Great Film to watch this weekend

    "Only Love Matters" is a truly commendable film that left a lasting impression on me. It's a good movie, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. The film masterfully combines entertainment with a profound exploration of a highly unique and sensitive topic - intersexuality and the realities of life faced by intersex individuals.

    One of the standout features of the film is its ability to captivate the audience with a range of breath-taking scenes, from desert landscapes to iconic landmarks like the London Eye. The visual storytelling in "Only Love Matters" is a treat for the eyes, and it adds to the overall allure of the film. The diverse and beautifully crafted settings create a rich and immersive viewing experience.

    In conclusion, "Only Love Matters" is a remarkable film that successfully combines entertainment with a thought-provoking exploration of intersexuality and the intricacies of life for intersex individuals. It is not only an enjoyable cinematic experience but also a vehicle for increasing awareness and understanding of this important subject. The film is a testament to the power of storytelling in bringing marginalized issues to the forefront and fostering empathy and inclusivity. It's a must-watch for those seeking a movie that both entertains and educates.

    An important and entertaining film.

    '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.
