    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.

    A Movie with a beautiful Message

    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.

    Worth watching film

    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.

    Inspirational film

    I got to view Only Love Matters at it's premier in Southampton, part of Southampton Film Week. This film has taught me so much about intersex as I was not aware of this term before. The film has amazing cinematography. It's also very emotional pice to view and has characters people will be able to relate to. The pace of the film is really good , it keeps the story line moving forwards but at a pace which really gives the emotion, this is credit to the director and editor.

    This film is going to inspire others to research and learn more about intersex and is going to help raise awareness.

    Really am excited to see the film again.

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.
