DeBaser reviews present John Cameron Mitchell as a provocative, formally inventive filmmaker. Shortbus is noted for its audacity and fractured tenderness; Rabbit Hole for its quiet grief and Nicole Kidman's performance; How To Talk To Girls At Parties for its glam-punk whimsy. Reviews mix admiration with critical distance.

For:Fans of provocative indie cinema, readers interested in LGBTQ+ and transgressive film, and viewers drawn to formal inventiveness and emotional drama.

 It is a film that, as simple as its narrative may be, excels in form and frills, continuously mocking an ideally bourgeois audience but not with the anger of the Dead Kennedys, but with a more carefree and narcissistic style.

 Heart-wrenching Film watching a couple suffer in different ways from the loss of their first child, who died chasing their dog into the street and was hit by a car just a step away from home.

 'Shortbus' (2006) by director J.C. Mitchell, skillfully launched with an enviable buzz on the web and through a very provocative, absolutely forbidden website, is a sort of soft-porn filmennobled by the almost “socio/political” intentions of the plot a bit Altman-esque, which talks about gay couples in crisis, straight couples in crisis, clandestine feminist groups in crisis constantly fighting the chauvinist male, women in crisis who do not experience orgasms, young gay men in crisis who combine yoga and blowjobs and so on.
