Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

xaniver The blurb/description for this is actually quite misleading. Luke isn't insecure in his masculinity until his recently post-pubescent body starts becoming more feminine as his sexual desires become increasingly intense. The speculative fiction element proposes that Luke has a certain extra chromosome, which doesn't allow him to change sex at will, but rather to spontaneously switch gender after climax. This makes for a few rather amusing scenarios, as Luke so aptly puts it:"I make out with a girl, I start turning into one. You've gotta admit that's a little weird."While the science in this film is questionable at best, I absolutely love the idea of spontaneous gender-swapping.Of course this situation gets more complicated for Luke as he starts falling in love with a girl… even though he sometimes finds himself more physically attracted to her brother.Aside from the hilarity that ensues when a teenage boy starts turning into a girl, there's an underlying thread of philosophy here, an important one that raises the question of gender identity, of love in the face of flexible sexuality, and of self-actuality. It's a refreshingly light-hearted take on some serious subject matter that ultimately results in a more spiritual-sexual awakening rather than just a typical coming-of-age watershed. While not explicit, the film doesn't shy away from open discussions of sex, including masturbation and the loss of virginity so be prepared.I'd like to leave you with another favorite quote from the movie, which not only sums up the gist of this story and why I think this film is so special:Luke: "I am supposed to be a guy."Michelle: "There's no supposed to be anything. You just are."

derekph-1 Awful. Somehow this got onto my list of gay-themed movies (I'm gay), so that's why I watched it. Let me say this right away - this is NOT a gay movie. Not even close. A few of the guys are moderately cute, but the situations are not erotic, so that doesn't amount to much. The idea for the story has some potential, it could have been interesting, but the way it's developed is so labored and boring that any potential is totally lost. The characters are all total hetero Neanderthals, both male and female. So it's a boring straight film, told in a boring manner. No humor, no intelligence, no imagination. I had to force myself to watch the last half, just so I could write this review and feel confident I was not selling it short. There wasn't a single moment in the entire film when I thought "Wow, that's clever." Instead, watching scene after scene, I was groaning in pain and disappointment. An idea with potential was totally squandered. Everything is after-school-special level insight and execution. Trust me, it's boring. And NOT gay.

westpenn49 I suppose that my summary says it all I had medium expectations for this film. I liked the concept but was worried that it would be played for the wrong laughs and bathroom humor. Instead I, and you will be as well, was rewarded with a sensitive and witty look at how we deal with our own identities.Luke has to work through the age old question of "who he is" though he is working in some unfamiliar territory.Pay attention to the dance of characters and you will not be too startled in the end. Though the premise is far fetched the director has managed to pull it off delicately and satisfactorily.I loved all the leads, but found the character named Jeanine to be the wisest of the bunch.

Gordon-11 This film is an affirmative coming of age film for a teenage man with a condition that makes him change sex when he has sex.The plot is very original and innovative. I have never thought about anything remotely like that before! On the surface, it is a film about an imaginary genetic condition called zerophilia. It explores self discovery and self acceptance. Luke finds out that he in fact like guys, tries to change this but fails. Then he accepted himself as who he is, and starts a relationship with Max. This very much mirrors the sexual discovery of adolescents.This film brings a positive message about self acceptance, as highlighted in the symbolic scene of Luke given a light blue top for ladies. It's OK whoever you choose to be.The positive message is portrayed in an entertaining way. I hope this message can reach a wider audience!
